I am so happy evil orange man is gone!
Excited to be paying more for EVERYTHING, including a $17.00 bill for 10 wings last night at a cheap joint!
Fryer oil is also going up, along with lumber, plumbing supplies and EVERYTHING.
Gas prices continue to climb, as they are trying to get you to go electric, and violent crime is through the roof because cops are evil.
This delights me, because it brings me back to my youth, when Jimmy Carter was president!
I feel young again!
Maybe they'll release David Berkowitz so we can really go back to 77!

It's called inflation.

It is the inevitable conclusion of cutting the supply of goods and services while simultaneously increasing the supply of money.

The laws of economics are as inescapable as the laws of physics.

While you can deny the existence of those laws, you cannot evade the consequences of ignoring them.

This was as inevitable and foreseeable as the result of a plane running out of fuel. You might manage a controlled crash landing, or might end up in a pile of wreckage, but there is no way around ending up on the ground.

Exactly right. If I recall correctly one of the textbook definitions of inflation is "too much money chasing too few goods".
