    But it's worth $96 a year more to see where democracy dies, right?

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      I’m also pretty sure that rent, real estate prices, and mortgage rates are still up there too…

              And it costs you about twice as much (per month) to buy a "starter" home.

                @LuFins-Dad said in Bidenomics:

                This is extremely dangerous rhetoric

                The Biden speech?

                How so?

                      The Harpy from Mass opines.

                      See, inflation isn't bad, it's just that the products are getting smaller because of the greedy corporations.

                      Nice "scare-zooms" in the video BTW.

                          Biden is complaining about inflation?

                              There’s no “fooling” going on. It’s an attempt to keep prices down.

                                  I wouldn’t buy her saying water is wet. She’s the prime example of my theory of two kinds of people. One tells you it’s raining and you just think “oh, it’s raining”. Then there’s the other type who tells you the same thing and you ask yourself why they would want it to be raining.

                                        @George-K How is this calculated?

                                        3M annualized CPI 4%, up from 3.3%
                                        6M annualized CPI 3.7%, up from 3.2%

                                        For example
                                        Jul 23 - 3.2
                                        Aug 23 - 3.7
                                        Sep 23 - 3.7
                                        OCt 23 - 3.2
                                        Nov 23 - 3.1
                                        Dec 23 - 3.4
                                        Jan 24 - 3.1
