There's no Inflation
But sometimes I get a little Cognitive Dissonance ...
I believe the President when he says there’s no inflation.
I don’t even know if gas prices are going up or going down, they change so much. When I worked at a gas station in high school, gas was 0.389 $/gallon. And it was always 0.389 $/gallon. But today I have no idea what the price of gas is, it changes so much, so that I don’t know if it’s going up or down. I assume it is going down because I also heard my chocolate ration was being increased from 30 to 25 grams1.
And when I go shopping I just pay the amount or stick in a card and don’t ask for a receipt. Very simple. I see no Inflation.
But, sometimes, when you go to the store to buy something, and just pay and don’t look at the receipt, inflation still happens, as shown in the picture below.
OK, so perhaps maybe there is little bit of inflation sometimes some places maybe for just a little transitory while.
p.s., I also believe the President when he said,
"You're not going to get CoVid if you have these vaccinations".
He got Vax'd 5 times, and only got CoVid once or twice.
But I don’t talk about the MSM Hyped-Hysteria CoVid-1984 Fear Pandemic anymore. And I’m such a broken record … I see this posting from over a year ago:
I stole the chocolate (one of my addictions) part from George Orwell’s 1984.
Yup, I would say if you don't want to see inflation, STAY AWAY from the hardware store.
So, I remember, not because I'm old and can remember when gas was 0.389$/gallon, but am old and can still remember this last Spring when I was in Bear Hardware and said, "These 40 pound bags of composted manure are now $3.99, and just last year they were $2.99 ! And I can also still remember yesterday, when I bought some more composted manure for my garlic patch, saying, "These 40# bags of manure are no $4.99 and just this last Spring they were $3.99 !
Now two things:
Thing 1: Selling composted manure by the pound is just a rip-off -- it should be sold dry by the cubic foot or cubic yard! You're just paying a whole bunch of money for water!
Thing B: This is the time of year to plant garlic. See:

Reading the news feels like Orwell’s 1984. You have to read between the lines and sometimes the end of an article to get any truth at all. Not to mention the government agencies that do the exact opposite of what they were created to do....like the DOJ, FBI, FDA, CDC et al.
