Top newsworthy moments in 2021

[Utilit99 4,099]

Here's a few.

Brady going to Tampa and right off the bat winning a superbowl.

Watching kameltoe flounder her way through the vice presidency. (I guess this isn't a single moment though)

creepy joe tripping up the steps. Over and over again after he makes fun of the way Trump walked down a slippery runway.

Rittenhouse not getting nailed to a cross by the liberal hate society.

Selfiefest at the capital.

Angry woman on a plane getting repeatedly called a karen by an old man. 

creepy joe focking up the withdrawl. Military blunder.

Yeah, for sure. It was awesome listening to NFL radio the other day. They spent the day bringing people on who knew Maddon in one way or another. The stories about him going back 50 years were amazing. The guy was the single most impacting person in all of sports on their sports. I didn't realize he said he would only do the Madden EA Sports video games if they basically followed his direction for the vision of the game that he wanted. 

Dude sounded like an amazing human being all around.

He really was. Growing up, he was like THE coach for the NFL. So many great memories of him cameos, broadcasting, video games, and commercials. Had to such an iconic voice as well.

I don't think I watched the news once this year and got most of my info from either here or Zerohedge.

Hard to understate the military blunder.  Biden killed US troops and children and put untold numbers of allies at risk and probably killed them too in his screwed up withdrawal.  He is the worst president in US history.  The only reason he is not impeached is his own party shields him.

creepy joe had no concern for anyone in that mess up. He was thinking solely about himself and his desire to create his presidential "legacy". 

Well, it sucks to be him cause many deaths  lay square on him. And all avoidable.

[Djgb13 2,339]

Of course 2021 has to give us one LAST newsworthy moment with Betty White dying 

[Utilit99 4,099]

2 million illegals let in was big negative impact on our country. 

It seems there are only a couple positive moments this year. Everything else was a disaster.

Artemis 1 could have been on this list but launch is now set for spring 2022 and possibly summer.  They completed stacking the core stages of the rocket on October 22nd, 2021.  Its the equivalent of the Saturn V (just 41 feet shorter). It is the first time NASA has stacked a moon rocket since August 1972. 
 

so, yah were going to the moon.  The rocket has been assembled.  Were going.

To me the biggest story of 2021, because it's going to have a lot of impact over the next couple of years - not just in 2021:  Inflation.     Most are too young to remember the bad old days of the 70s, the last time inflation ran wild.   I was very young but I remember.  It was scary and disorienting to see your $ just lose value and it wrecked  a lot of markets like real estate, borrowing, new business starts, etc.   A lot of people don't understand how destructive inflation is.  

This admin has released the Velociraptors (inflation) from their cages and now we have a much more difficult project to get them back into the cage.   They are going to wreak a lot of havoc before we either capture or kill them.    We are in an inflationary cycle and the gov't and MSM are burying how bad inflation is right now.    Last week I stopped at a convenience store/gas station/deli.   A million places like it around the country.   I was in the backwoods of New England, so it wasn't a "Boston is expensive" kind of thing.   I got a small Italian sub and a diet coke = $15.     A year ago that's a $7-8 sub and $1 drink.

This is no joke. I usually don't pay much attention to prices at the grocery store, and even I had to pause when I started to look closer this year. It's insanity and I don't see an end in sight. I heard the other day a liberal politician try to explain how the massive spending biden has been in favor of will actually help inflation and keep prices down. Bullshlt. The liberals will say anything to get what they want. 

It was within the past couple years I was paying upper $20's  to fill up my gas tank. Now I'm paying in the mid $50 range. Grocery costs are going through the roof. Terrible time to buy a car, a home, etc....

Gas doubled almost, and most other items that you buy today cost 7-10% higher than last year. Prices would have to fall like 7% to reach the inflation goal of the federal reserve which I think is 2%. So even if prices stop going up, we are still focked.  This is creepy joe's dream. He boasts about getting people back to work with raised wages earned, but that is for the low wage earners and pretty much has them breaking even and the higher end earners are losing out the most. Everyone loses. And what does he want to do? Spend, spend, spend.

I'm listening to these focking liberals saying that Manchin is the only person who doesn't want this gazillion dollar bill to go through. I heard it repeated yesterday by one of the liberal senators, and that is the liberal party for you. They completely ignore that 50 republican senators who don't want it, which means their voters don't likely want it. But to the liberals, they don't even exist. Only mean Joe Manchin who is "selfishly keeping this bill away from the American people". 

Things in this country are spiraling out of control. creepy joe denies it on every front. I don't see any end in sight. When are the American people going to wake up and stop electing career politicians to office?

Its run wild many times since the 1970s but not the core consumer items.  So the government just played accounting tricks and measured inflation but removed tracking anything that was shooting up in price at the time.

No hiding this one though. Everybody feels it from the high earners to the no job wanting unemployed slackers.

No, nothing like what happened in the '70s with inflation has happened in the time since (until now, unfortunately).    No way.   I think you are underestimating how bad the inflation problem was in the 70s.      

I understand your point about how they changed the metrics used to measure inflation but there are plenty of economists who rework the #s so you can compare "apples to apples" by adding in the things they took out.   If you use 1970's methods of gauging inflation we are running something ridiculous like 15-20% inflation right now.

But what I'm saying is inflation shifted into the stock market in the 1990s, then into the cost of college and home prices in the 2000s, crypto in the 2010s, etc.  Its always been there but its not hitting the big ticket items until now.  Economists simply could not predict when it WAS going to start hitting the big ticket items.  It was always a threat though.

You make some good points.    Maybe my point is closer to the general perception of inflation.   It hasn't been since the 70s that everyday things starting climbing on a month to month basis where people would get that immediate, in the face, daily reminder of inflation.   Real estate, stocks, college admin, etc have skyrocketed since the 70s so I do better understand your point about inflation "moving around".   But some of those areas are impacted, like real estate.   If borrowed $ is expensive (in the 70s rates got close to the 20s range) because of inflation it kills the real estate market, no matter where the prices are going.

I have to admit tho.  You can still eat super cheap at prices from the 1990s.

Walmart mac and cheese dinners, 30 cents each.

Hunts spaghetti sauce, still $1

hot dogs still $1 per package.

head of lettuce $1.48

bananas (10 cents), apples, pears, oranges, still cheap.

80/20 ground beef isnt that much more expensive I dont think. $3.46 for 1lb

 

If I had to live on a food budget of about $20 per week, I could do it.  Most of this is from walmart.

$2 6 mac n cheese dinners
$2 2 package of hot dogs
$3 2 heads of lettuce
$3.50 1lb 80/20 ground beef
$1 10 bananas
$0.50 butter (big crock, lasts forever)
$1 milk (lasts 2 weeks, $2 for a jug)
$0.50 salad dressing (bottle lasts a few weeks)
$1.50 3 tomatoes for salad
$2.50 bag of shredded cheese for salad
$1 cucumber for salad
$0.50 instant lemonade (can will last forever)
$0.50 instant tea (can will last forever)
$0.50 jar of peanut butter (will last forever)
$1 spaghetti sauce
$1 spaghetti noodles

I’d say the biggest story is how quickly Biden and his administration completely focked up everything they got involved in. Everything. If they had literally done nothing we would be better off. Nothing. Just left it alone and didn’t tweet.  If you voted for this loser GFY.  You should keep quiet from now on.
