It might help get him elected but using that tactic is corrosive to our nation.

Yet another politician justifying damaging means by reference to their preferred ends.
i hate aldi because they don't have everything. so you end up at two stores
We hit Aldi as soon as it opens. Get 75% of our groceries there. Then go to Meijer or Walmart for the rest. But yeah key to get in and out of those stores at the right time. Any grocery store can be like the 5th level of hell if you go at the wrong time.
Low prices and great scenery keeps me coming back. Hopefully the wife doesn't figure out why I so gleefully volunteer to do the grocery shopping.
They are all the same. Just buy the cheapest.
You understand that 40% isn't nearly double. 50% isn't nearly double. It's half. Maybe you don't know what double means. 100% is double.
As for the California article, not everyone lives in California, dumbass. Even there, it hasn't more than doubled in three years. 240% in 20 years. Home valuation rose 45% from pre-pandemic values, causing payments to increase by 127%. That's as much to do with interest rates as property values.
Try reading what you link.
Exactly, but don't buy pre-shredded cheese. Buy it by the block and shred it yourself.
typo doing too much. i said nearly half in original post. 45% is nearly half. it's gone over that in other markets as well. so fla. arizona. etc.
@Bloom. here. nearly half. getting sloppyNearly half. Here 40 percent. Other areas half or more. Calif, parts of so fla. I don’t say something unless it’s accurate.
The housing market was already painful, ugly and anxious. Now the 8% mortgage rate is back
Prices are high, supply is tight and rates are surging. The housing market is scaring off both buyers and sellers.www.cnbc.com
California House Payments Rise 127% Since Pandemic’s Start
Highest interest rates in 23 years bog down home sales, which are 41% below long-term average.therealdeal.com
The numbers in the article aren't what you say they are, so you're either being dishonest by pushing it out there again or just not smart or sober enough to understand what those articles are saying.
but do you understand how stupid you sound? it's no different than the gun argument. instead of acknowledging things are more expensive, there's a clear area where gun shootings are a problem, you deflect from it. well grow your own food? that is the definition of partisan stupidity. here's an idea. don't vote for biden. run out the person who was steward when all of this transpired
home prices increased 45%. that is nearly half the price of the existing home. so at 500k $225k. new price of $725k.
I've been around here since the old Star Board in the middle 90s and no one has EVER discussed the price of string cheese.
Some mod, please mark string cheese off the unused topic list.

Maureen Dowd agrees with you.
There's a positive economic story to tell if it's crafted right and delivered well. It's the crafting and delivering that makes me nervous.

Your shtick is getting really old.
If it is the republicans have no one to blame but themselves. Sad state of affairs for all parties that you can’t promote what you want to do for the country to win an election.
I think people need to remember that the general election is still 10 months away. That's an eternity in politics. The Biden campaign hasn't even begun yet. One Biden-aligned Super PAC is set to roll out a $75 million spend on digital "communications, research and infrastructure" leading up to the election. Big donor money continues to roll in. Messaging is still being honed.
Sure, there could be some huge game-changer like Biden keeling over or Trump shitting his pants on the debate stage. A conviction for Don the Con could make a difference as well (although I think it's becoming increasingly unlikely that there will be a verdict before Election Day). Absent something of that magnitude, though, I think once again it'll come down to 6 or 7 states.
Way too early for wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Trump shitting his pants on stage would be an improvement…and greatly worshipped by his fans.
If Biden strongarm's the Fed into pushing the 10 year T down below 3% (for election purposes or whatever) by Labor Day 2024...despite whatever virtue-signalling woke BS he proclaims in the meantime (as long as I don't have to endure some new beta test vaccine for pharma profitably) ...
I hereby declare I will sacrifice my better judgement, and vote Biden 2024...as a sign of my personal, non-self-serving sacrifice on the name of non-partisan politics.

He's already taken a dump on democracy, and his supporters smeared shit on the walls of the Capitol three years ago today, so Trump dropping a deuce on a debate stage would be just a continuation of the, um, movement.
Do you realize how stupid you sound? Things you're saying aren't accurate. You've been shown examples. Badger me some more. Call me stupid. Call me partisan.
Call me all the things you are actually you in this discussion. Stupid and partisan.
Still...isn't...double.
I understand the math. 45% isn't double. It isn't nearly double. 50% isn't either.
You said doubled in three years. You're wrong. Move on.
I. Said. Nearly. Half. How many times do I need to tell you. And in some areas it doubled. You move on dickhead. Your dumbass shouldn’t be allowed to vote with your progressive vapid bullshit and constant denials re pricing, shootings, anything really. Now move on.
Nope.
This is what you said with:
You said something that wasn't accurate. Then you amended your point without ever noting you just made something up.
And I pointed to where I said nearly half long ago and said that was what I intended.
Four years of housing market gridlock? Goldman Sachs issues U.S. home price predictions through 2026 | Fortune
The struggle between tight inventory and deteriorated affordability will see U.S. home prices end 2026 just 4.5% above the 2022 peak, predicts Goldman Sachs.

Nearly half
is this the fifth time of done it? Want a polygraph now. Fing hell you are ponderous
If that really happened on stage, he would deny it happened but still market his own brand of adult diapers.
Part of the problem is the exploding commercial home renting industry and recent state legislation which protects the rights of "homeowners" to buy houses to rent out for profit despite local laws and regulations to the contrary.
Maybe it sounds good, but companies with cash seem to be driving up home prices beyond what people would pay if they really intended to live there.
Those rentals are really just small commercial hotels.
I am way too invested in this string cheese discussion. Which city do you live in?
This is my grocery store. There are a handful of prices that I am aware of.
Crab legs
Edy’s Ice cream
Bacon
4 pack of Starbucks bottles which for years were $4.99 and I’ve seen now for $9.39
And mother ****ing string cheese now

Heard on NPR today (short version): On the issue of who is a threat to democracy, Biden wins big, because Democrats and most independents agree with him. He also wins big because among people who are single-issue voters re: protecting democracy, he dominates Trump. It should be easy to see why he wants to keep playing that same song. It's a crowd favorite.
It just feels to me like most voters want more. Maybe we're fickle. Maybe we have a short attention span. But we already did Trump. The nation survived him once. Biden saved us from him once. Maybe the threat just doesn't seem that big anymore. Biden has a record now to run on. I just don't see this as a winning campaign:

His pull out will be like McM's on a typical Saturday night....drug addled, messy, and one he won't personally remember.
It use to be. Not sure anymore. I remember we use to go take him lunch and they would have like 8-10 tubs of ice cream in their breakroom that we'd go ham on.
They use to get coupons for tubs of ice cream at the store all the time as well. I can't do rocky road from any brand anymore.
That is awesome. Ricky road is my favorite My grandpa worked at AB back when you could drink on the line. Every Friday they got two cases to take home. Some fridays he slept in the front yard. Different times
I used like like the Slow Churned, but it gets crushed by Tillamook and Cedar Crest
As someone who eats ice cream, on average, 350 days a year, the correct order is: Ben and Jerry's, Talenti gelatto, and Haagan Dazs, in that order. This is only for store bought ice cream.
There will be no argument here. That is the order.
Next topic.
