Check your meat!
If you can, buy from a local butcher. Some of the over the counter meat in grocery stores seems to be lab grown. I wish MAHA/RFK Jr. would do something about this.

Check your bread!! This one hits home with me because I sometimes buy Dave’s Killer Bread. This mom was making her daughter a sandwich when she cut off the crust and found actual wood chips in it. Yes, wood chips. I just read that they were bought out by a big corporation.

@litanow88 @NRCC I have children and a life here. I want where I grew up to be my home. I'm not going anywhere. I'm proud to live in PA. I just want life to be fair.
Did you not read? I'm repub but want my party to actually have my back. I'm not a democrat bc all they want to do is raise taxes.

@mitchellvii This is about more than just gas. If this goes on too much longer, grocery prices will rise again. Just like last time, they won't go back down either.
Everything else will follow. Just like last time.
English

@lucasvaugh91298 Wouldn't that become unsustainable after prices reach a certain point? That sounds like a broken system to me.
I think prices could come down naturally if the government quit overspending to get their budget right. Then put it back into the states/economy.
English

Also JM, you're right, prices typically do not come back down. That's why when politicians talk about lowering your costs, they are all, both sides, mostly full of shit.
Some individual prices adjust, Houses for example could fall if we get supply up, or reduce demand. But overall, you're correct prices don't come down.
This fact is built into our economy. The goal is to maintain roughly 2 percent inflation always. This allows a buffer to prevent recession while being a manage inflation rate. The goal, for any solid economy, is to close the income to expense gap. So what we need to happen, is to increase demand for labor so we naturally push the value of labor higher. Higher incomes achieved naturally don't artificially spur inflation.
When we force higher wages (increasing minimum wage to an unrealistic level) we are artificially increasing wages which then cycles through the whole system pushing everything and everyone elses wages up. This ultimately ends up hurting those at the bottom. The very people it's supposed to help.

@JMillz269
I can only read your replies. The OP decided to block me and I can no longer post on the thread. If you'd like to continue our conversation here please let me know. I'd be happy to.
But I want to make something very clear. I do NOT make a lot of money. I don't like to advertise how much I make, but suffice it to say, I'm not in the "middle class" even.

@lucasvaugh91298 @BadAss6360 Only read a part of this. You obviously make a lot of money and only go by numbers you're given. Why is it 4 years ago I spent 150 a week at the store. But same things are now 350 a week? The issue with these are the same. Once the cost goes up, they don't come down (minus gas).
English

@lucasvaugh91298 @BadAss6360 Trump is raising cost of gas again. Which affects the cost of food in the store. They will go up again soon. And they win't come back down again. That's the problem here. This affects housing as well as a multitude of other things.

@lucasvaugh91298 @BadAss6360 Cost of: Gas. Homes. Groceries. Vehicles. What about credit card interest rates?
Dude, like, everything? If you see no issue with what I mentioned, you obviously make so much money you are out of touch with reality or got these things before they went crazy in cost.
English

@BadAss6360 Is it the gas prices that make you feel like everything is being destroyed beyond repair?
English

@MTrucksa @mitchellvii From what I remember, this all happened around COVID times. Then when the economy got better, they just never went back. We've been getting scammed ever since. The low interest cards advertised require you to make A LOT of money now. But they won't tell you that. It's shady.
English

@JMillz269 @mitchellvii WHAT???!! thats ridiculous!!!
Dang, i had worse credit and i got some lower credit card rates. What has happened since then??? ( last time i applied for a new card was about 10 years ago).
English

@MTrucksa @mitchellvii I hear you. They offer a platinum cc with 9% interest but I couldn't get it even with my 70k salary and my credit score. It's nuts! That's why I made the comment "unless you make 100k". Because I bet the debt to income ration for those ones are absurd (nor are they public).
English

@JMillz269 @mitchellvii whoa thats low limit.
Sounds like you are doing as well as could be possible.
now you got me thinking, are credit card interst rates all that high? i gotta research this.. its like i believe you, but i cant believe it lol.
English

@MTrucksa @mitchellvii I cancelled my credit union's cc a few years ago as they gave me a $400 limit and 18% interest. Any purchase would hit 30% of the cards balance and ding my credit. I can talk to them again as I've increased my credit score by ~80 points since then. My other cards have a 3k limit.
English

@JMillz269 @mitchellvii I just remembered - if you get a credit from a credit union. They are ALWAYS lower.
English

@MTrucksa @mitchellvii I don't have much debt. I have a 780 credit score. My lowest interest card is 24.99%. There are barely ANY cards below that interest rate unless you make 100k a year. A balance transfer is not the same as the card's interest rate?
Full stop 🛑
Your reply makes 0 sense.
English

@JMillz269 @mitchellvii Hi yes that may be true, but also YOU can research it yourself and find a low interst credit card. They are out there. Try some 0% balance transfers. . believe me, been there done that. got my debt down to zero.
English

@TerenBlackthorn @XH_Lee23 I want a chinese EV. You realize a brand new one is only like 25k right? It's not a ripoff like teslas or any other EV that we have right now in the USA.
They are actually affordable.
English

None of your Chinese shit is wanted here... it's just that simple. China is not the USA's friend.. your thieves, slavers, communists, and hostile. You arms kills our people and you use everyone that's why you have no fucking allies on this planet. You do absolutely nothing for us. I want to attack the CCP... be happy I'm not president.

@manerheim @MedienfuzziShow Have you ever been raped? No?
Then stfu.
I think those that speak against putting down murderers and rapists deserve to be murdered or raped themselves.

@mitchellvii No they failed because their business model was the common folk (cheaper flights). But common folk over the past few years, have become the poorest they ever been. We can barely but food. Yall out of touch with reality. Too much money too long.
Come down from your pedestal.

TRUMP DIDN'T KILL SPIRIT! - Spirit Airlines was in serious financial trouble long before recent gas price spikes.
The airline had been losing money for years. High fuel costs made it worse, but they were not the root cause. Spirit was already struggling with too much debt, too many older planes, and a business model that relied on ultra-low fares in a competitive market.
They tried to solve it the easy way - by merging with JetBlue. That deal was announced in 2022 and fell apart in 2024 after the government blocked it. Without the merger, Spirit's problems got even worse.
They've been cutting routes, parking planes, and laying off staff. Bankruptcy rumors have been swirling for a while. This is not a sudden crisis caused by fuel prices. It's the result of years of weak finances and a failed attempt to fix them through consolidation.
Low-cost carriers are having a tough time right now, but Spirit's troubles run deeper than most. The airline industry is brutal, and not every player survives.
