I did notice a few things came down in price. Mostly staple foods. For some reason eggs shot back up, but then I heard there was another avian flu outbreak. You think they would have learned their lesson the last time it happened.

What a load of horseshit. The shill isn’t even being masked these days? For shame. 🤦🏼♂️

Who is shilling what? First off this is pbs which is known for its unbiased and fact based reporting and the metrics it refers to are ancient and trusted for consumer sentiment and economic health.

The economic climate they’re pointing to is directly tied to the fucking stock market — that rigged game that the vast majority cannot afford to even wager on, much less influence. Those metrics are “ancient and trusted” by the same groups that benefit from insinuating “forecasted” trends of consumers.
Of course, the stock market is up! We’re funding two fucking wars, child. 🤦🏼♂️ You know what else is up? Houselessness, housing prices, cost of living, and laborer dissent, and sweeping fucking layoffs.
You wanna swallow whatever half-truth they’re perpetuating, be my guest, but don’t drag anyone else down with you when they instead deserve the chance to DTOR. 🤌🏼

Locally I’m seeing tent cities pop up in multiple locations. The cost of groceries and utilities have doubled. Rent has doubled. Mortgages are astronomically high. Wages are the same they’ve always been. But the stock market is doing good every one, no worries.
