POLITICS Inflation /General Finance Insanity

One time I had a client send her info in taped to construction paper with the explanations written in crayon. It was odd.

 

This is not normal?

 

How do the prices and use of illegal substances change with inflation and less disposable income? Do the prices of such unregulated things respond the same as everything else, or no? Does it all balance out?

 

Like has an 8 ball of coke gone up in price since 2019?

 

Ya, that's what I am wondering. Just curiosity

 

Nice try FBI

 

Drug dealers are generally not smart people so if I had to guess they don't keep up with inflation but if they are selling less and notice it they probably would lower their price to get more sales. Most drugs though are highly addictive so people buy no matter what their financial situation is. If it's food or drugs they probably pick drugs 10 out of 10 times.

 

I don't even think this is correct. I would wager most are employed. I think it would surprise a lot of people how much work is done by undocumented immigrants using citizen's SSNs. As in, probably at least half the undocumented immigration population is employed, and a sizable amount are under the legal names of other people.

 

I don't doubt any of that. If that isn't accurate though I can also see what he is saying. I think in the end what we have is an under population problem which we need to address.

 

I'm totally on board with this.

 

All my hired help is local. At least they live locally.

I require one person on the crew to speak English. (Spanish and/or Eastern European as required.)

I pay cash for services rendered.

 

It's great, but what took so long? Every POTUS has these things where great ideas that hardly anyone would object to seem to be timed to not all occur at once. Lame.

 

To be fair a lot of time no brainers like these gets inundated with a bunch of riders and turns into the gargantuan monstrosity that can't get support because of all the special interests addons.

Part of me wonders what would happen if only clean single-issue bills could be passed. I'm sure it would be a complete and utter disaster. Or at the very least make addons run pass the parliamentarian to see if it is related to the root bill.

 

Basically what lumberjack said. The parties stuff the bill with so much pork to try and get things slid in on a good bill that the original purpose gets lost and it doesn't get done. It would be a great thing for the administration to get through if they can and I hope they do, it's a good idea. Imo

 

Those are aggravating

 

Five bucks for a gallon of bleach?

WHAT THE EVER LOVING [uck fay]?

It was under a dollar not all that long ago.

 

Chlorine demand began rapidly growing in 2020, principally due to the private pool industry, and simultaneously a hurricane destroyed a major chlorine plant that is still not operational.

 

Every time I go to the grocery store I come home angry. I mean mad enough to bite through a nail.

 

And I guarantee these mother[uck fay]ers won't take the prices back down once that factory is repaired (using insurance my money to boot).

[uck fay] gouging and the system that allows it

 

You want to turn me into a full on socialist? Keep this shit up.
