Raven Fan 362 Posted December 6, 2022 lol, I guess vaccines in the arms of 150M+ americans is little difference? I guess going from a top 10 in deaths per capita to way down the list now is nothing? I guess airports, restaurants, all stores booming now is no different? Remember Trump's band of merry fools had states fighting each other for PPE and buying supplies on the black market. Could barely get 1M shots by late December, 19M short of goal. But those yahoos surely would have been as organized and efficient as Biden's admin, no doubt...SMH Holy smokes the lack of intellectual sincerity is astounding. Don't worry.

phillybear 366 Posted December 6, 2022 I continue to fight the staff at every doctor appointment and hospital visit I have about the requirement to wear a mask. I tell them I can't breathe with one, they insist that I wear one, so I wear one on my chin, or not at all, and dare them to throw me out. It's unacceptable that I have to waste energy disputing the mask policy. Once you get to the exam room, nobody in sight is wearing a mask. It's a show for the waiting room. Monthly visit to the discount grocery Aldi today. Prices are insane. Eggs have gone up 4x in the past year or so. $4.08 for a dozen eggs? You can't eat them anymore, but just use them as a part of recipes. Chicken 2x. Ear of corn 4x. Cabbage 2x. Beef 2x. Fresh garlic 2x, Apples 3x. The only food I can think of that is decreasing in price is potatoes. I continue to stock up on non perishable pantry items; today was more beans, beans, jars of salsa, sauces, spices, beans and beans. Half the items I was seeking today were just empty spaces on the shelves. If you don't think food supply chain issues are real, you are a numbskull. Oh, and gas is around 6 bucks a gallon. Up 4x in the past year or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And you need to find somewhere else to shop cause most food around me is getting close to pre-covid. And the national price of gas is like $.80 cents a gallon higher than January 21. You my friend are either a liar or a horrible shopper. And shelves are packed so bigly retailers are offering discounts. The price of an overseas shipping container is down 90% from its peak.
