I just got laid off. Please pray for me friends ❤
Thinking of you in this difficult time. Best wishes - let us know if we can help.
@@vishalbalani9596 thank you so much
the marines are looking for a few good men and women. wishing you the best.

You'll be layoff for awhile. Maybe flip burgers in California for $20/hr
Lmao no really?? You think we haven't figured it out yet.
They think we actually need some government statistics to figure that out…
…..Every time I’m at the grocery store I witness more, and more people stealing food. 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤔🤔
Which increases prices.
@@shop970 …..this country has turned into “me, me, ME”, and “kill, or be killed”, and “you snooze, you lose”. 🤷🏼♂️

Notice how they smile at the peoples pain. The more the peasants suffer the more money these people make, they love it.
dang
This could explain why shoplifting is out of control in this country
I hate housing industry
No, that's from dems enabling and encouraging criminals to do whatever they want.
My salary has not gone up
My Social Security went up a bit but Medicare premiums did too, and they dropped two of my medications from the covered medications so I can't afford them at all.
you can flip burgers or stuff tacos in calif for 22 dollars a hour at a night job.
You should get a new job

Trump 2024 duh
I’ve resulted to oatmeal and scoop of peanut butter for every breakfast now. About 35 cents a meal.
I have stocked up on bulk oatmeal but also eat 2 boiled eggs most days eggs (2) right now is 46 cents a meal at 23 cents each. So I have choices but yeah definitely no "convenient" foods. Overall I'd say at least this has people choosing healthier foods. I use Oatmilk from Dollar Tree $1.25 a carton at least for right now they are talking charging higher prices. Your oatmeal is a good choice with the peanut butter. Anna In Ohio
Yum! I eat that even when inflation is low.
@@buckeyedav1 - Dollar Tree going up to $1.50.
Next year it will be one dollar more. I recommend to try eating grass like cows.
I've been doing that for years
RENT IS HORRENDOUS IN NEW YORK. I gotta get outta here. Can't do it no more
N now add congestion pricing
New york is a loser state
If u move out also stop voting democrat. Unless u wanna repeat this mess in ur new residence state
@@strongbad2016 what and then vote for republican fascists?
@@oldmoney1022 still better than what we have now. High crimes high inflation and chaos
Yup, my property taxes have risen 18% a year for the last 3 years in Florida. The local government doesn't care that there is a 10% cap. They found a way around it. The government loves inflation and gouging.
😂🤣😂🤣 vote for Trump
@YourMom-vl2sp They're all the same. Trump cut pandemic funding right before a huge pandemic. DeSantis (Trump wannabe) doesn't do anything but grandstand. Now, there's a $15 minimum wage and increased school taxes with a new enhanced teacher pay tax. Sounds great, for inflation. School funding has quadrupled in two years and is exempt from the 10% tax cap. Hence, the usery 18% increase. No wonder landlords are raising rents.
@@YourMom-vl2sp - DeSantis, a Republican - is doing nothing about the out-of-control FL property taxes. Doesn't matter what the party affiliation is: WE ARE GETTING SCREWED.
Government benefits the most.the more we pay for stuff.the more taxes they make.surprised they haven't started to tax food
@@MD-et8kz - many states DO tax food. Where I live in NM food was taxed up until 10 years ago - but there's talk of the tax being re-instated again.
A new house or a new car 😂 how about just being able to afford groceries!
Inflatable is not 3% its more like 15%😂😂😂😂
"inflatable?"
Someone doesn't understand how yearly inflation works
150%
It's closer to 15% over the past three years, not year over year. YOY tracks what the prices were last year at this time compared to this year at this time.
Right Vlad, bend over for the Pootin gangsters...
Breaking news
Biden says inflation is going down.
Before he realized he was holding the chart upside down
😂
CNN did the same when they said crime is steadily going down. Their chart was upside down too.
Massive corporate profits are driving inflation up.
my biggest disappointment was voting for this clown thinkin it would be better than that orange popsicle...i wont bother leaving the house to vote next time. cya!
Even as inflation has slowed, families are still paying higher prices, thanks to corporate greed, or greedflation. Under the guise of inflation, corporations are raising prices on American families and raking in record profits to boot.
THANK YOU. Like prices will go back down for supplies but i bet you that companies will keep their prices excessively high and pocket the difference.
are you dumb cvnt implying that greed didnt exist before biden the pedo took office?
A free market and competition which means small businesses success is paramount to controlling price gouging, but communism just feels emotionally right.
Yeah, right. Keep printing money and see what happens.
Inflation hasn't slowed, and Biden policies suck.
Let's talk about all the CEO's who control the prices?
Corporate greed
Called bidenomics one day when you grow up you will understand
@B86432 get off of Trump 's zipper and grow some brains
We do understand all commodities went up right???? Not every company makes millions!! Ignorant policies led to this all
Even as inflation has slowed, families are still paying higher prices, thanks to corporate greed, or greedflation. Under the guise of inflation, corporations are raising prices on American families and raking in record profits to boot.
That’s what everybody’s been saying this whole time except for the current government and the media. Inflation has been here for a while now yesterday last month last year it’s not going down it’s continuing to go up. Thanks for finally reporting the truth.
Lies. The numbers aren't even close to what it really is.
The media is owned by corporations so they are gonna lie about the numbers. And Joe Biden is telling us that the economy is better, what a joke.
I love giving more to the wealthy ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is what they meant by Build Back Better???? Asking for a friend.
Tell your friend that BBB died in Congress 🫤
yup! Why we left and moved with family before starting dental school….also, no one is hiring but EVERYONE has a “job wanted” sign. I must have had 50 interviews, but no one called back. Not even target. 🤷🏻♂️
Why are they still just calling this inflation? It’s corporate greed that’s to blame for most of these increases.
The price gouging has to stop 🛑 these companies are disgusting 🤮
Were they price gouging when Trump was in office? No. It's biden's policies that have caused inflation and reckless spending by government. Wake up in NPC. You're brainwashed to the core
Biden inflation is killing everyone... kick biden out to stop prices from rising
It's CORPORATE GREED! Find the thread and report the truth.
It's not corporate grade idiot, inflation is caused by reckless government spending. Was there corporate greed when Trump was in office? No. So sad how brainwashed you were by mainstream propaganda media
I am putting more store brand foods in my cart. Never thought it would be necessary to let go of my favorite brands. But, it's necessary, and I find they are of good quality. Actually, I thought it was me over spending, (smile) truly until I began hearing more and more desperation from all people who are among the "not rich". Thank you for this information.
I know I don’t even eat breakfast
I’m a single father of 2 kids just spent $600 in the store
I am soeding about $150 more a month on groceries
You mean spending ?😂
No kidding.Groceries that costed me around $150 in 2020 is now almost $300.And let me tell you $300 in groceries isn’t even a cart full anymore
I've got a preteen and a teen boy growing like weeds one's over 6ft now grocery shopping makes me want to scream.
@@eviljoker303 ain't that the TRUTH!🤦🙄
We all are...
I'm surprised they aren't somehow trying to blame this on racism lol
3:55 As a postal worker I dont feel supported by govt, we have no leverage due to federal laws on strikes for govt workers. meaning we have lower wages then we did ten years ago and limited means to fight, our wages are only getting worse as the purchasing power deteriates and cost of living out paces an already lowered payscale.
Biden would only campaign for private unions but says nothing about us or teachers.
B.S.
It's corporations raising prices.
Lots of items have gone way up in price over the last four years - Dems have to go they did it!
are you dumb cvnt implying that corporations only started raising prices after biden the pedo took office?
They are raising prices because their costs are going up bonehead. Were they raising prices when Trump was in office? No. Ever since the bonehead in office took over in 2020 everything as quickly been becoming more expensive
They try to blame the public for inflation. It’s ridiculous.
American economy blows
We are in a recession thats why.
Been in one for sure!😢
Not even close
@@ChicanoPhD keep telling yourself that
Remember, recession was redefined by biden admin clowns.
while rate of inflation has come down from 9% last year to 3% now, last years 9% surge is now EMBEDDED into the prices. Learn the difference between inflation rate and inflation. PRICES CAN NOT GO BACK TO 2020 PRICES NOW, unless rate of inflation goes -ve like -5%.
I’m so destitute I’ve resorted to consuming my own feces to get the most out of my grocery bill.
What they really mean by "Inflation" is that the "number of paper dollars" needed to buy
what you could buy with in 2020 has inflated to how many it takes to buy the same thing now.
The company you work for still pays you $XX, but it only buys $.85 XX.
Imagine if everyone cut back! I used to make my spaghetti with sausage, bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, garlic, Italian herbs, garlic, diced tomatoes, and spaghetti sauce. Last time I made it I used diced tomatoes, salt, onion powder, Italian herbs, and garlic. Jimmy Dean sausage finally went on sale but not till after I found a recipe I like that is so much easier and cheaper.
Soda went up! I drink a lot less of it. I drink more water and make sweet tea at home. The tea bags are great value and so is the sugar!
I buy things when they are on sale. Aldi has good fruit and vegetable prices. I stock up on whatever is cheap. I buy meat on sale at Ingles. I found large reduced price whole chickens for $5. They were half price. I also got ground beef, boneless chicken, pork chops, ribs, and sirloin steak. This way, I don't have to pay full price. Ingles had a beautiful head of cauliflower for $1.49. It's over $3 at Walmart. It needed to be used that day. It became my lunch. I chopped it up and roasted it with spices and olive oil. It wasn't planned but turned out great. People need to learn to flexible. You might want steak and shrimp and end up with roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, and cornbread. Buy what's on sale and what's in season.
I buy off the clearance shelf. Cheap pastry, salad dressing, crackers, beef jerky, ... Just whatever. But so many people feel too privileged to make sacrifices.
I made sacrifices. I cut off soda, fast food, snacks, cable, netflix, alcohol, etc etc. I don't need any of that stuff. Both my health and wallet are doing much better.
Sen. Ted Cruz: Americans see Bidenomics is a train wreck
In economics this is called tightening the money supply. The issue is that government is taking the money from the wrong people.
I always buy groceries on sale and stock up. Check the flyers every week, they're available online. I buy 2% reduce fat gallon of milk from Target for $2.79 (everyday price), Shoprite had sale last week on Sara Lee Bread for $2 per loaf (bread freezes great, stock up), Hannaford has pasta on sale this week for .89 per 16oz box, etc. etc. I stock up every week on sale items and pay less. Shop and spend wisely.
Congrats
Bruh I can’t even save no money 😂
Is inflation sticky?? it's terrible! A donut is $2.75.
It’s not inflation anymore. It’s now cost of living. The inflation has done its evil work and now we have to live with it. Hopefully over time our wages will catch up but that will take years.
When do we get back to the American dream? It was so very long ago.
Joe Biden's America 😡😡😡😡
This is happening all over the world 🌎
Biden is not the president of the world 🌎
Educate yourself
It’s the richest people doing this pure greed and price gouging
Can’t buy a home in America! It’s so expensive and seems not worth it. It’s pretty sad that a dream of one’s own house cannot be fulfilled despite all the hard work.
Rate cut? Did I hear those words while the talk is inflation is high?
This message proudly brought to you in part by Joe Biden :)
How?
Grow up try the big corps.
Old sniffy and his slow voter base.
@@awnzotheman Who is old sniffy? If you talking about trump you’re right about that cuz he is sniffing all the time from that coke and amphetamines he does. All the time sniff sniff. It’s not a lie it’s on tons of videos.
"Socialism will make everyone equally poor"......Seems like capitalism is doing a pretty good job of that all on its own.
Most elites in power are socialists
😂😂😂😂!
no one stops you from moving to cuba or north korea, reall!
We have a Democrat socialist in office for past 3+ years who has caused this so yeah it does make everyone equally poor
@@NhatHuyNg Those aren't socialist countries they are communist countries. Not the same thing. An example of a socialist country would be like Germany, France, Britain, Holland, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Brussels, ect, ect....Yeah, I'd live in those places for sure, but some of our families have been in this country for 300+ years and have fought all of her major wars so, we're kinda invested in a free, democratic, fair America. One not ruled by corporate oligarchs as is currently.
We will get to Canada’s situation - the corporations are being required to reduce the costs, and their greed makes them compulsive to attack people’s right to eat. We are watching all of their darkness coming out. They have no boundaries.
Now compare how much we’re spending vs when Trump was in office.
Truth is Trump contributed to a LOT of the spending that got us here. Biden is worse obviously, but Trump overspends WAY too much too. Some of what we are feeling now happened during Trump's term. Even when we stop spending it won't bring prices back down, it will just stop it infinitely increasing. I am voting RFK Jr. He is the only one advocating we stop the insane spending.
inflation is perpetuated word, upon a currency that makes no sense at all
Whose wages are going up? Am still waiting for my pathetic 3 percent increase at work. Also, watch us vote for the same people passing laws to allow corporations to squeeze us for our last dimes.
Thanks Joe!!
Haha must be blue collar 🤣😂
It really doesn’t have anything to do with him. More like corporations greed. They need to be checked and CONGRESS can do that if they have a damn about their job
@@daniellastamp Democrats are ready to do it but unfortunately maga is in the way of any progress to help everyday average americans.
@@donnaindigodems are causing bidenflation which is literally hurting black and brown people the most.
Why are you racist always supporting people who want to make blk and brn people suffer?
Apparently, Etsy Creators haven't been paying the fair share on taxes lol
Less fresh food price sales
I literally depend on my adderal to suppress my appetite until I can’t take it anymore. 😂😂😂
Lets go Brandon
Wait my wages ain’t going up ????
Idk i feel like giving up. Forget budgeting my money. Tire of constantly managing it when everything is so expensive. Either i live bare minimalist reduce going to the grocery store or get a 2nd job😂
Not sure how you don't already, I make $40 an hour as a concrete finisher on my 1st job, then go out and hustle as a photographer/Cinematographer on the nights and weekends for good money, and still can't save enough.
@@pinballjunkies i make like 29$ but i hunt and fish to reduce grocery cost and tried to be resourceful as possible. And work on all my car since car repair has increased
Shelves still have items OOS, and too many people are still in the stores. Raise them higher!
Americas economy is in limbo.
Corporate 1100% profit margin is the driving factor of inflation.
The American dream is out of reach for many. I lived the American dream by working and paying my taxes. Everything is expensive compared to seventy years ago. My home cost me $6,000 in 1976. Paid $40,000 in taxes in 40 years, now valved at over $140,000.
It's not the world as we knew it. (and I feel fine)
❤❤USA❤❤
Did we forget who the primary culprit is for driving inflation up…… corporations are the major contributor.
You can't compare spending to 2020/2022. Life was different during the pandemic. If consumers keep overspending and building up debt, inflation will continue. When they learn to live within their budget and refuse to spend more, demand will decrease and prices drop. My budget has not changed since I became debt-free and plan to stay that way. If I can't afford it, I go without. It's going to be a rude awakening for people who can't manage their money.
You know my fellow liberals, maybe Orange Men wasn't that bad after all 😂
Symptoms of capitalism. Second Thought has good take on this matter.
People remodle renter homes.
Where letting price gauge us
A politician gaslight the people? Never
Why is that
Corporation greed
STOP OVER BUY .
In 2022 I was able to save & take a trip live freely , 2 years later I can’t afford groceries on a weekly basis
I mean. No one cares no one will do anything about it. So why even report it.
When are they going to bring back soup kitchens and hoovervilles???
Stop spending items that are breaking your bank account. This is outrageous and these corporations and central banks dont care about it because they will still make their money.
Bidenomics is working!
Change your shopping habits and be more efficient and your food budget can go down .
I miss Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan
Yes, but investments, stocks, home values and 401(k)s are all-time highs so I think if you’re not there, you need to start to invest.
Always remember
Prices rise with inflation and does not decrease with deflation
Greedflation and corporate price gouging
I'd like to know whose wages are going up. I got a whopping $0.80 raise. Do you really think that that counts as your wages going up?
Um closer to 5-6k more a year than in 2020.... is the 1k increase per person? Families are getting creamed out here.
We HAVE to consider these corporations' "feelings" too. They are clearly struggling after making record profits while downsizing staff. Remember, Congress has declared that "corporations are people" in the past
Greedflation
Uh yes, we know that.
Land lords should stay off your smart phones need to pass policies.
Raise the rates
I retired 1.5 years ago and had my decked out van ready to travel and have adventure now I can't afford gas. Sitting in the house, at least it's paid off, looking at the van from the living room window.
😢 Sorry to hear that bud. I hope it gets better but could’ve seen this coming after the economy came to a standstill after COVID.
I've seen this comment posted so many times before.
Are you enjoying capitalism?! I am! 🙄
Monopolies are causing food to go up! Inflation is up for multiple reasons. Minimum wages going up, high interest rates
It’s no longer a true capitalist market. It’s run by greedy monopolies.
Want to grocery shop? You’ll pick 1 of maybe 3 major chains.
Want to ship something to a family member? You’ll probably pick 1 of 2 companies.
Due to my health problems I can only eat organic. So I can only afford to eat one meal a day, if I'm lucky. So I fast for almost 24 hours a day, everyday for 2 years now. Not by choice. I'm disabled and I only get 291 in food stamps a month. And due to my autoimmune diseases I have to go on a carnivore diet. So only buying organic meat is expensive. $291 a month means i don't eat anything somedays
Spending is Good for America.
Been anticipating this inflation bump for a decade. Thank goodness inflation continuing to run at a nice simmer. 4-5% inflation would just about be perfect.
I think I'm going to barf
Funny irony.. I’m building more wealth every year
Smiles every one
how the hell did this episode become an endorsement for bidem!!!?!?! WUT?!!
This can be fix but greedy landlords and CEOS THAT JUST PUSH FOOD AND RENT TO HIGH FOR PEOPLE TO LEAVE
