Prices ticked higher in February, but there’s good news at the grocery store. Higher prices at the gas pump pushed up inflation more than expected in February, according to the latest Consumer Price Index from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. (CNN)
So, once again a story regarding Cool Whip. Cool Whip is a favorite of my husband, Joe, so as a most wonderful spouse whenever I am shopping for groceries, at our ONLY local supermarket , Shop and Save. (interesting name since unless you desire to drive 26.7 miles, you must shop, and somehow since there is no other supermarket, the savings is only in your gas).
Last week Cool Whip was selling for $3.49, lo and behold this week, Cool Whip was now selling for Two for $4.00. Believe it or not this BLOG AIN’T so much about the jacked-up prices, but more about the Bullshit Concept called inflation, a term I truly believe invented and installed by the very wealthy who desire to remain ultra-wealthy pretending that by blaming some amorphous OTHER WORLDLY THING, called inflation, on the invented prices of goods, the average person will bitch and moan and blame anyone but them!
Weymouth MA is about 102.6 miles from Provincetown MA. Weymouth compared to Provincetown is big city. In Provincetown, Cumberland Farms is one of two gasoline stations, the price of Regular at the Provincetown Cumberland Farms Gas Station is $3.49 a gallon. As Joe and I drove to Weymouth last week, we had to drive through the Cape, passing about a dozen towns, and as we traveled on Route 6 heading west, we also passed about half a dozen gas stations, with the majority of them belonging to Cumberland Farms. And guess what…yeppers, the further west we travelled taking us closer to the mainland part of Massachusetts, the price of Regular Gasoline, suddenly lowered and lowered. Mid Cape it was $3.39, at the end of the Cape, it magically became $3.29, and wham bam thank you ma’am when we arrived in Weymouth, Cumberland Farms Regular gasoline was $3.19 a gallon.
So, let me understand this crazy thing called INFLATION. It is neither a person, nor a place, but a thing. I am beginning to believe it is more of a monster, created by a whole of people who want to be like Dr. Frankenstein, live their lives in a castle, and ignore the villagers. INFLATION is ploy, a plot, plan to keep most people poor and make a select few rich. And from where I live, INFLATION, is a whole lot about, location, location, location.
