Wow. This has made me very angry. No lols here.

I realize that none of this is new and par for the course, but it doesn't make it any easier. I'm not even sure why it's this in particular for me, besides the fact that they straight-up murdered that reporter. This certainly makes America look piss-weak on foreign affairs as the rest of the world sees the US as a country with no standards or backbone. A man was murdered by an out of control dictatorship and we're just going to let it slide for "peace and stability" like if anyone actually believes this will happen anyway.

Incompetent or ineffectual, our leaders are greedy shitstains and it's because of them we're all screwed.

I hate this loving country.

you forget the part where MBS is still gonna ratfuck Biden and the dems because they like republicans better, Biden is the stupidest idiot alive to think that they’ll actually listen to him

Grocery prices rose 11.9% annually, the most since 1979, while electricity increased 12%, the most since August 2006. Rent of primary of residence climbed 5.2% from a year earlier, the most since 1987

that seems about right although maybe a little low based on my personal experience. A weeks worth of groceries for me and my fiancee was bout $100 a couple of years ago and now it's closer to $120-$130

This but everything on NPR. The second you start double checking what they're saying or looking up who funded the last guest, the smug, knowing, entitled delivery of every single piece becomes infuriating.

I'm not sourcing from "The Farm Bureau" here are prices literally right now at my local grocery store:
32oz pork and beans - I found a 28 oz can for 1.77; if it were the same price/oz as their 32oz can it'd be 1.66 for an increase of 0.11 basically
2lbs ground beef - a lb of 80/20 which is as low as I feel is reasonable is 4.73, so 9.66 or 1.46 more than last year
half gallon vanilla ice cream - even the cheap store brand is 6.16 for a half-gallon, which is 1.47 more
Boneless center cut pork chops 2lbs - These run 6.38/lb for me right now so 12.76, or up 1.13
2.5 quarts lemonade - 3.28 for the store brand, so that's down 35 cents. A win!
1lb slices cheese - 5.13, so up 1.08
13 oz potato chip bag - 4.92. Saved a penny!

So, in total, this meal will run you 4.89 more, (39.05 vs 43.94) which is an increase of 12.5%

Also were this spread put before me by someone for an actual 4th of July I would be extremely worried about this person

Also the NY Times put out a "Biden might not be able to stand for re-election in 2024" article and in it was this

quote:

Howard Dean, the 73-year-old former Vermont governor and Democratic National Committee chairman who ran for president in 2004, has long called for a younger generation of leaders in their 30s and 40s to rise in the party. He said he had voted for Pete Buttigieg, 40, in the 2020 primary after trying to talk Senator Chris Murphy, 48, of Connecticut into running.

“The generation after me is just a complete trash heap,” Mr. Dean said.

The ones that have actually shocked me when I went to the grocery store were the cheese slices (seriously 5 bucks for kraft singles????) and the fact that eggs have skyrocketed. I had always counted on eggs being available as a super cheap source of protein if everything else inflated to the moon but nope, 18 large eggs is nearly 5 bucks now. I know bird flu has something to do with this but its just lovely that that's happening at the time that other meats are going up.
