re the chart

you will notice inflation ramped up starting about Apr 2021, about a year after covid deaths waxed

you will notice inflation started dropping about Jun 2022, about a year after covid deaths waned

so a supply chain crunch due to shut downs

what i don know is what woulda happened had not trump jumpstarted the jab and biden backed it full fledge

i am content to sit in my car at Oil Can Henry's that got bought out by Valvoline and i am sure i would be good with Jiffy Lube too and eat my breakfast sammy and coffee over $5 now

oil change costs like $75 bucks but i'm in and out (mwett will say He's in and out) in under a half hour

i guess my question is, how long does a serpentine belt last

i drive a stick and at 120K miles had to replace the clutch (here mwett, I ride that f*cker hard) but i am sure i am due for brakes and maybe wheel bearings too. the great thing about riding the clutch is i save on brakes.

gonna be in the $500-$1000 range i imagine. the great thing about Les Schwab is there is one in every town and they honor their warranty. so if you're out and about you got recourse

durn. no Irish whiskey for me this year. which according to bottomlee is in the $80 range

I think that dep on yur average rpm. If the belt breaks, will your engine be wrecked? I would hope for an auto kill with the sparkey

I tend to just poke along and no desire to chirp the timrs in a shift change.. so check the belt every5-6000 miles etc

In Vancouver, there was once a nightclub/disco on Thurlow St. called Oil Can Harry's. It was a cash cow, too

Fun times, they was

in my town baking potatos are going for 85 cents a pound

can you believe it? almost a dollar a pound for a dim dumb cellar dwellin tuber

and stew meat $7 a pound (thanks for your sacrifice mister cow)

i might need to work at a 7-11 for a year just to build up a war chest for candy and nuts

A dozen Eggs in Canada $3.15 US.. and you can double that for the bigger ones. Tank of Gas in 2015 $65, today $120 Can Gallon 160 oz and our dollar is worth 73 cents US. Same gas for you about$90

worked the lube bay too

Do you even know what a lube bay is? it is a place where you actually applied grease to the nipples.

BTW if the WEF has it's way, we will be eating bugs in 2030.Remember you heard it here first

White House Announces Inflation Doing Great If You Hold The Chart Upside Down

POLITICS· Apr 10, 2024 · BabylonBee.com

WASHINGTON, D.C. — With criticism mounting regarding the rate of inflation and the increased cost of basic necessities, the White House announced that inflation is actually doing great if you just hold the chart upside down.

Though families and small businesses have fought to stay above water in a down economy, the Biden administration notified everyone that the stress caused by looking at the rate of inflation could be easily solved by looking at the chart from the opposite direction.

"Problem solved," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. "We know the American people are very concerned about rising prices on goods and services, but as you can clearly see in this helpful graph when you turn it upside down, the arrow is actually going down. So from that perspective, inflation is actually dropping rapidly. You're welcome, America."

Media members who were gathered for the daily press briefing marveled at how quickly the administration had solved the inflation crisis. "President Biden can really work magic," said one reporter. "Only moments before, that chart looked quite grim, but by offering the simple solution of turning it upside down, it's obvious that inflation is actually plummeting. Only the Biden administration can provide this type of quick, easy, and effective solution."

When asked if flipping the chart upside down would actually reduce the price of food for struggling families, Jean-Pierre responded, "No comment" and sprinted out of the room.

At publishing time, the White House had also announced that running video footage of the Ukraine-Russia conflict in reverse actually makes it look like Ukrainian cities are being rebuilt. And if you're still reading this...Biden has a bridge in Maryland he'd like to sell you.

Bashing the POTUS. Unseemly. UnPatriotic. Idiotic.
Typical of the MAGA crowd.
