Food and pie throwing





Who do you blame for food prices?
Republicans will yell "Biden"
And it sure looks like it, according to a chart, but Biden gave poor people wads of cash and a big boost to their food-cards, so I'd say he did right.
  No, My question instead is, How to calculate inflation.

I can understand a price rising compared to last month or last year.
Put on the tape that blames russia, the weather, and birds, for things like sugar.

But I don't get when prices ostensibly drop (they don't, not by much, but go with it)

A politician can point to this chart and say proudly that under his rule, prices have dropped precipitously.
We all agree, I mean, there's the damn chart, right?
Pot roasts and steaks, affordable again, right?
Define "Affordable."
It's cheaper to order KFC than cook pot roast or meatloaf, and those are poor-people foods from hellhole countries (right?)
Inflation on Tamales is ridiculous. Well I haven't got any other examples, except Lettuce, which is over $2.00 now.
I shall attempt to find out why, 
when prices drop (per their chart, so deceitful and wrong) 
it's still inflation (not DEflation)
Stuff is still high (OK) and it's getting higher (gotcha,) But it isn't as fast as last year.
Sugar will never be cheap.
Beef is for the richer than God people.
But...Everyone's happy that under Trump, stuff is becoming more expensive more slowly.
(I think that's what they're saying)
