He's feeling no pain

 


I'm one of those shoppers who don't pay too much attention to prices.  I only buy a few items at a time now a little bit each day.  Just throw the items in the carriage and keep moving.  I'm not like the mamacita you see at the supermarket with five credit cards pulling two full carriages.  By my logic since I'm not buying a lot the grocery bill shouldn't be that high so why is the readout at the register always saying 50 60 70 or sometimes 80 dollars?  Oh wait when did coffee become so expensive?  Looking at the receipt again and Hefty garbage bags in double digits.  The cartons of Fancy Feast way too high but I already knew that so I buy the single cans more often now.  More variety that way.  Be that as it may I still won't buy toilet paper at the Dollar Store.  Your finger might poke through.  The POTUS is on record about not caring about all of this.  Hannity probably doesn't feel much pain at the pump.  Trump is the first president in modern times whose priorities doesn't include the economy apparently.  Depends on who you talk to.


My cat won't let me blog.

  1. This guy found a way to get the hard stuff on the cheap -
    "Nearly half a million dollars worth of bourbon has been stolen in a broad daylight heist, in one of the largest thefts of its kind this year.

    Approximately 10,800 cases of Noble Oak bourbon were picked up by a truck driver to transport them from a North Philadelphia warehouse to New Jersey Friday, but the shipment never made it to its final destination.

    Rob Koch, chief operating officer of Noble Oak’s parent company A-21 Wine and Spirits, said: “It seems like an organised group of criminals deceived one of our warehouse locations by getting them to load up about 11,000 bottles of bourbon into their vehicles…and made off with a whole ton of bourbon." Wonder how long that will last?

  6. Had a guy last Summer and this to mow, trim, fix fences, etc. Not cheap, but I'm big on curb appeal. I wish we HAD a curb. Old guy out back had a horse and pasture, put in a large fenced training circle filled with 4 dump trucks of sand. Rode the horse around it twice over the years. Horse died, he sold the circle fence but left a very large litter box. out back. The old couple can barely move and the litter circle became a plantation of every weed in the state. Guy on the other side showed up yesterday and pulled up 6 big plastic bags of weeds. Tole me he was tired of it and some night he is going to
    'round-up' the hell out of it. How would Yonkers handle that?

  7. Back on topic, we note:
    "US consumer prices continued to soar in May, pushed higher by surging energy costs more than three months into a war with Iran, according to government data released Wednesday.

    Prices rose 4.2% from May 2025 in the hottest annual reading since April 2023, and 0.5% on a monthly basis, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, matching economists' expectations. The index for energy prices alone accounted for more than 60% of the increase from April, with prices rising 3.9%.'
    Naturally, the fix is to replace the head of the Fed Reserve with a guy whose motto is 'Im an inflation cutter" - another bobblehead apt.

  8. "President Donald Trump said he loves inflation Wednesday in response to a question about the latest federal report showing inflation climbed past 4 percent for the first time in three years.

    "I love it; the numbers were great," Trump said. "You know what I really love? I love the inflation."

    The bizarre moment punctuated the administration's minimization of the country's affordability crisis, a crisis that is getting worse, according to Wednesday's Consumer Price Index.

    Inflation Good - We Dumb?
