so do they have a total surplus of 5 bil or it only added 5 bil to the surplus they had at the end of the previous period?

It's the latter, they added 5.4 billion to their current account.



Also peep how imports of goods is actually higher than last year's period by ~19.5% and Russia's been through ten rounds or so of sanctions lol.

I gave up most fast food a while ago, but it was hot today and decided to get some Dairy Queen. A medium Blizzard and a 4 piece chicken tender basket cost $15. Who is still buying this poo poo regularly? All these prices on the big fast food places have literally doubled in the last 5 years.

in n out is still only like $5 for a double-double+vanilla shake+fries which is a meal for the whole day. solidly feeding a family of 4 for the whole day on like $20 order is pretty good.

dairy queen has always sucked, we don't even have any around here anymore because they're too bad

it is hilarious that people are paying $8.99 for a KFC Famous Signature Bowl (TM)


$9 for a soggy 6" subway sandwich with plinkey-rear end gristle-floor meat


and $12 for bougie panera that's like a dollop of rice with 3 bits of chicken

America is rapidly enshittifying itself into oblivion. There's not just cost inflation, shrinkflation, but quality deflation. everything from clothes, shoes, household appliances, simple things like soap/razers, and even food has taken a nose dive in quality the past 5+ years. everything is sub-Dollar Tree rear end garbage now

and that's a good thing. americans deserve nothing but the worst consumption

The amount of meat they put on Chipotle burritos now is pretty hilarious. I used to buy them and pick out the meat for a treat for my dad's dog, and sometimes there were only 5-6 chunks of meat in the entire burrito.

I got mad about this the other day -- they're loving $13 for a bunch of rice! So I decided to just make my own at home.

It came out to like $3.50 per burrito. And I stuffed them full of chicken, beans, avocado, sour cream, cheese, tomatoes from my garden, good hot sauce, no bullshit rice filler. AND I still have half the chicken thighs I bought in the freezer for next time.
