The price of gasoline is dropping like a rock. Chicken wings are suddenly a bargain. And retailers drowning in excess inventory are looking to make a deal. (New York Times)
SERIOUSLY folks, somehow as in wham bam thank you, ma’am, right after an election, during the most significant marketing event for the USA, Christmas, magically, mysteriously, miraculously, INFLATION seems to be on the decline. SERIOUSLY folks, right before our eyes, before the election, as in now you see it now you don’t, during the waning days of summer, and the anticipated Day Light Savings, our savings were ravished, our budgets busted, and Corporations' greed and gluttony gleefully exulted. That invisible human-created, villain, spawned from Capitalism gone wild, erupting from those who still think you can take it with you when you die, and the 1% who believe their shit doesn’t stink, but yours does, INFLATION, had risen. And one should ask HOW?
The MAGA, minions, (not their Lord and Masters, the 1%, the Donor Class, the pay not fair share of taxes Billionaires,) BUT, the Authoritarianism was written into the Constitution Crowd, the Evangelical Preachers who swear Jesus wants them wealthy, the History is insulting, the Tucker Carlson fan club, think that words like COMMUNISM AND SOCIALISM, are truly evil and something the 11th and 12the commandments abhorred. Of course having no idea of the true definition of COMMUNISM OR SOCIALISM, (leaving that description up to such INTELLIGENCIA as the Oath Keepers, Rupert Murdoch, Proud Boys, and Trump Fan Club Republicans,) those same folks who insist Medicare and Medicaid are evil, the Affordable Health Care Act an act of the Devil, Universal Pre-School and Nutrition Programs for schools are Satan incarnate, will continue to shoot themselves in their own feet, denying themselves their pursuit of life, liberty, and health.
INFLATION does not grow from seed, INFLATION contains no carbons or atoms. INFLATION cannot be harvested or fished. We can breathe, sleep, grow, and live without INFLATION. But yet, as if INFLATION was now a gift from Mother Nature, it seems more important than life itself! WHY!
