Real wages, taking inflation into account, were still moving in the wrong direction over the last year+. And that is a serious issue. I think the economy is heading toward a new equilibrium where we'll see that reverse. So I am not intending to minimize anyone's personal situation. But I've lived through all the things I mentioned in my earlier post (runaway inflation, extremely deep recessions, etc.) in which no one with an ordinary job could even dream of buying a home, in which lots of able-bodied willing workers had no chance of finding a job, etc. And the economic problems we have today just aren't anywhere close to that. This economy is seriously out of whack and our dollar is being devalued which is why a box of Mac and cheese is $5 bucks at tops. And it's due to democratic policy. Spend and print, this isn't sustainable. 3

B-Man Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 Quote Kraft's mac & cheese affordability has also taken a hit recently. Dozens of its products got price hikes in recent months, including a 3.5% increase on a pack of EZ Mac and a 20% price hike for a 7.25-ounce dish of Kraft Big Bowl Macaroni and Cheese. They used to be 50 cents

Probably a little shrink-flation there (smaller box?), but still. A buck. Alright, I'll be serious about this for a minute. The $5.00 Mac and cheese at tops is the Velveeta shells and cheese, I believe it's $3.49 at Walmart to save you the research. Now we have all seen an uptick in prices across the board at the grocery store, which is due to the increase in the price of energy, fuel used to make and transport the products we buy daily. This has an effect on middle class and working class Americans, it has an effect on our quality of life. Do you agree or disagree that the rise in prices at the grocery store and gas pump is due to the Biden administrations energy policies?
The Frankish Reich Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 7 minutes ago, TSOL said: Do you agree or disagree that the rise in prices at the grocery store and gas pump is due to the Biden administrations energy policies? That's easy: disagree. Gas prices: if Biden's energy policies so restricted supply, we would have expected a continuous rise or at least a steady equilibrium at a much higher price level than what we saw under pre-COVID Trump. (why pre-COVID? Because the early days of COVID caused a huge percentage of the economy to shut down). So: $2.76 per gallon nationwide average in summer 2019; $3.58 per gallon now. Adjusting for overall inflation (almost 20 percent in 4 years overall), that's just about 25 cents more per gallon. Could that 25 cents be explained by diminished U.S. crude output? Well, U.S. crude oil production is basically equal today to what it was at it's pre-COVID peak in Nov. 2019. So I guess you could say it would be even greater if Biden weren't in office, but that ignores the fact that oil exploration/drilling/production goes up when the price goes up. So there's really no evidence for this. Food prices? an even more tenuous connection. Maybe energy costs have a tiny impact here, but the overwhelming impact is labor costs all through the supply chain. You can see this clearly in the areas which are more labor intensive, like restaurants. Not too long ago the $20 burger was a joke (or something you saw only on hotel room service). Now it's common. And that's more of an effect of loose monetary policy combined with fiscal stimulus under Trump and Biden in response to COVID. (Yes, Biden's last stimulus was a bad idea and probably counterproductive.) So ... no real impact of Biden's energy policies on either gas or food prices. 1

So the administrations policies have nothing to do with the cold shoulder we are getting from Saudi Arabia,? Why are the Saudis solidifying their relations with Russia and China? They have been one of our strongest allies for 70 years. Bidens energy policies have nothing to do with that? His coming out as soon as he was elected and saying we are going to reduce our dependence on foreign energy had nothing to do with that? Why did the administration release 30% of our nations strategic oil reserves? Subsidizing the energy market for 4 months before mid term elections? When inflation started to spike, food and household goods prices, all you heard about on the news was how it was due to energy costs and labor. Yet you disagree? Interesting. If you can't grasp the rudimentary principal, and if you're going to let partisan politics cloud your judgement here, then there's no point in arguing. 1

Well if you guys want EVs to be viable you should start working on infrastructure for them, instead of just arbitrarily forcing GM and Ford to try to produce millions of them in the next 3 years. The technology isn't ready for prime time yet. And where are we gonna get all this electricity from to charge them en masse. And it just leads me to the point of how short sighted the left is.
