1 year minus 52 days! 
 @1c553d25 It will go Fast too... 
 @6a018a2a

But every day is like a week. And my grocery bill seems to double every month! Just for 2 (TWO!!) people! FJB! 
 @1c553d25 @6a018a2a 
It's bad, really bad the moron should be thrown out of office FJB 
 @1c553d25 @6a018a2a 
Same here, and we're feeding three adults and two teenage boys. Carbs are causing me some health trouble, but carbs are cheaper than salads and we prefer electricity to be on and rent to be paid. 
 @98513a7f @1c553d25 

By my best observations Food costs are up 50% in 2 years... 

Restaurant prices are Absurd now... 
 @6a018a2a @98513a7f @1c553d25 its true.  I can remember a fancy dinner for 2 costing about what it costs to go to a diner now. 
 @48bfa577 @6a018a2a @98513a7f @1c553d25 Oh and let us not forget that seniors are eating dog food to survive. Just makes me cry and spit at the same time. Why do we treat our elderly like shit! 
 @0c671c23 @48bfa577 @98513a7f @1c553d25 

All of the prices for Everything to live in America are out of control and no end in sight... 

As they said decades ago, its the economy Stupid, that decides elections and it is finally more True than ever now.  There is no way Biden and the Dems can Win...

I used to say Trump could push 100 Million votes in 24, I now think it could be closer to 110-120 Million and Biden might be lucky to get 40 Million 

They are not rigging or stealing 50M or more Votes!! 
 @6a018a2a @48bfa577 @98513a7f @1c553d25 Not on our watch. I still like most of you on FA that Gravy Brain stole the election. 
 @0c671c23 @6a018a2a @98513a7f @1c553d25 well I have never come across a senior eating dog food and I can assure you if I ever did, I would make sure that the problem was fixed.  Unless it was my Mother in law, for her I'd just give her a big bag of kibble. 
 @48bfa577 @6a018a2a @98513a7f @1c553d25 LOLOL! You ain't right Pope! My mom inlaw is doofy, but I wouldn't give her kibble. 
 @0c671c23 @48bfa577 @6a018a2a @1c553d25 
Well, sir, I am doofy, and my DIL makes me dinner every night, and lets me live in her house, and calls me mom. So... 
 @0c671c23 @48bfa577 @6a018a2a @1c553d25 
I used to think that the elderly who were ignored were reaping what they sowed, but I've seen too many who were good parents get the cold shoulder from their kids to make that judgment now. Some sowed it, I know, being after money rather than their kids, but not all. It's just that morality, much less godliness, went out of style when the 1960s hit, I think.
 Peer pressure stopped making people behave. 
 @98513a7f @48bfa577 @6a018a2a @1c553d25 Wow Diana well said. Glad I didn't grow up in the 60's. I could only imagine what i.e. Height Ashberry was like in San Fransicko back then. Nothing has changed from what I'ave heard, but the problem is city/statewide now. Poop on the strets, needles, drugs, sex, full blown Aids etc. etc. Just sick. 
 @48bfa577 @98513a7f @1c553d25 

4 Chicken tacos that cost 12.00 pre Covid just cost me 26.00 without tip...  McDonalds for me & my daughter used to cost about 15.00, now 25.00 
 @6a018a2a @98513a7f @1c553d25 I can't for the life of me understand why somebody would spend money on chicken 
 @1c553d25 @6a018a2a @98513a7f Good on you! Salads are awesome, but when shit is so expensive well you do what you gotta man. 
 @1c553d25 @6a018a2a @98513a7f See my minni rant on Paul Crugmon. That dweeb is a tool! I ain't buying a 12 pack of Pepsi for almost $10! Your mama! 
 @0c671c23 @1c553d25 @98513a7f 

Coke prices are especially absurd... 
 @6a018a2a @1c553d25 @98513a7f Hell yeah it is! Pepsi here at Foodlion which is one of our major stores is $9.98. Don't remember what Coke is, but its about that. Its highway robery man! 
 @0c671c23 @1c553d25 @6a018a2a

His mama! Mine is in heaven. LOL 
 @1c553d25 
I'ved been do my own little Costco experiment for almost 3 years.  I buy the same 20 items and from 3 years ago, they are up 39%...   So what cost  $245  2 years ago, then $289 last year and last month cost $349.

Gasoline is over $6.00 in Calif and never lower than 5.00.

Here in Florida I just paid 3.95 gas today, highest Ever here... 

Florida raised Electric rates 20% in past year and California is utterly astronomical

Everything is up and its unsustainable for most Americans. . 
 @1c553d25 @6a018a2a @98513a7f if you count what we pay to feed our kids in college, we are spending 2x on food now than my net from my first full-time job. 
 @48bfa577 My first full-time job paid 1.41 an hour. Might buy one burger a day now. 
 @6a018a2a @1c553d25 Yeah FJB! That man isn't in a position to govern/prizzide!
