Inflation Continues to Rage

This is economy killing. If it goes on long enough, it is nation killing.

Consumer prices surged more than expected over the past 12 months, indicating a worsening outlook for inflation and cementing the likelihood of substantial interest rate hikes this year.

 

The consumer price index for January, which measures the costs of dozens of everyday consumer goods, rose 7.5% compared with a year ago, the Labor Department reported Thursday.

That compared with Dow Jones estimates of 7.2% for the closely watched inflation gauge. It was the highest reading since February 1982.

    Building Back Better, baby!

    Sure seems like they don’t think they’ll have to answer to voters ever again. Can’t help but wonder what gives them such confidence. Cough, cough.

    Look for prices to go higher. Diesel fuel has gone up about 25 cents a gallon in the past 2 weeks and the drivers are getting very nice pay and getting better everyday.

  3. MjM

    Also today.

    Hilarious, yet pathetic.

    The fake doctor Jill Biden should be charged with elder abuse

    Per industry sources (Viscelli; Hockenberry), drivers on average are making about 40% (in adjusted $$) less than they were in the late’ 70’s.

    And the the Covid denying anti-vaxxers jamming up border crossings are putting hard working folk out of work (see US and Canadian auto plants), and adding to the shortage of product, leading to higher prices.

    “Per industry sources (Viscelli; Hockenberry), drivers on average are making about 40% (in adjusted $$) less than they were in the late’ 70’s”
    Link please, otherwise I call bullshit.
    Especially now a days when drivers can make $9000 going coast to coast in a week. Some drivers, especially those who take military equipment from base to base can make $300,000-400,000 a year. Also, tge drivers who are taking loads out the shipping yards can make about $1000 a day.
    How I know this? Because I work at a truck stop and talk to a couple hundred drivers a shift.
    “And the the Covid denying anti-vaxxers jamming up border crossing”
    And another lie by Lying Karen Le Roi, since about 90% of truckers are vaccinated. They are against the mandates, moron, not the vaccines. But I guess when you read and listen to NPR, you get fake news constantly.

  7. Mar

    Are you referring to the book “The Big Rig” by Viscelli that was written in 2016?
    Lying Karen Le Roi, that was 5+ years ago and things have changed, moron.
    Why do you put out false, outdated information and lies?
    When it comes to lies and false information, President Trump is a Saint compared to you.

  8. Le Roi du Nord

    mar:

    Your claims are anecdotal, also known as hearsay. So you have a small sample of highly paid specialized drivers, just like the annual pay of an NFL player can range from $45 million to $660,000 per year (NFL). That doesn’t mean they all make top dollar.

    Yes, the same Viscelli, but the quote was from November, 2021.

    How do you know 90% of truckers are vaccinated? You expect anyone to believe your anecdotes?

    So once again you make false statements about me without a shred of proof.

  9. Mar

    And so you provide no link, again, to prove your point Pervert Boy Le Roi.
    As far as the 9090%, here is my link: https://globalnews.ca/news/8533779/truckers-convoy-canada-vaccine-mandate/
    And I have proven you have lied again, Lying Karen Le Roi so many times, that if I got a nickel every time I caught you lying, I could vacation in the Alps.
    And I will take my anecdotal evidence versus some college professor who sits in an office all day long.

    >And the the Covid denying anti-vaxxers jamming up border crossings

    That’s a lie.

  11. Jason

    >Your claims are anecdotal, also known as hearsay.

    No, the two are not used interchangeably, at least not by people who know better. Yeeesh.

  12. Le Roi du Nord

    There you go mar, at least a source. Just as the two sources I provided. Heck, you even looked one up, yet still called me a liar.

    You wouldn’t have enough nickels to buy new socks, let alone travel to the Alps. Besides, they wouldn’t want you.

    “And I will take my anecdotal evidence versus some college professor who sits in an office all day long.” Remember to consult your bar stool buddy rather than your doctor next time you need medical attention.

    Still no link asshole, so no source, moron.
    You have provided absolutely no evidence to support your Lying claim.
    And yes, besides me, just about everyone has caught you in so many lies that again, President is like Saint Theresa compared to you.
    And you say you correct your mistakes. What utter bullshit.

  14. MjM

    Le Chatte du Nord is an ass that’s always (a) behind: “How do you know 90% of truckers are vaccinated? You expect anyone to believe your anecdotes?”

    “‘Almost 90 per cent of truckers in Canada are vaccinated,’ Trudeau said, speaking to reporters in French.” – MSN, 1-24-22

    That’s three weeks ago, numbnutz. Try to keep up, k?

    Le Chatte du Nord likes it doggie style: “Remember to consult your bar stool buddy rather than your doctor next time you need medical attention. ”

    Remember to consult you dog’s vet for human diagnosis and treatment.

    Say, have you “always admit your mistakes” on your idiotic how-many-would-be-dead math work yet? I have seen it. Anybody? No?

    So Mar is right. You are a insatiable liar.

    you dog’s vet

    You mean the CEO of Pfizer? He’s a vet…..doggies, kittehs, nags…..

    Let’s get something straight here, LeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeRoy. The Governments of the US and Canada are creating this problem with their inane “mandates.” THAT is the problem, not the truckers.

  16. Le Roi du Nord

    “Still no link asshole, so no source..”. Wrong again.

    ” The Governments of the US and Canada are creating this problem with their inane “mandates.” THAT is the problem, not the truckers”. Wrong as well.

  17. Mar

    Lying Karen iLexRoi, where have you provided a link to your lies?
    There hasn’t been one.
    Cone Troll Boy, prove I’m wrong.
    Once a troll always a troll
    .Remember, your word means shit here. You have been caught lying so many times here that the Pervert judge you support, is a Saint compared to you.

  18. Jason

    >adjective: anecdotal

    (of an account) not necessarily true or reliable, because based on personal accounts rather than facts or research.

    Good. Now try it for hearsay and educate yourself dummy.

  19. dad29

    LeeeeeeeeeeeeeeRoy: supports the Boston Tea Party, condemns Canadian truckers.

    Typical Left-o-Moron.

  20. MjM

    Le Chatte du Nord whimpers: “Wrong as well.”

    Another astute argument there, numbnutz. All that tremendous CoLLudgE EdjuKatiOn of yours rolled into two words.

    Oh, and here’s your new handler.

    Cheer on, Spot.

  21. Mar

    Well, MJM,he lost his buddy, the Pervert judge, so Lying Karen Le Roi needs a surrogate.
    Funny, hecrops me on my admitted observation from what have seen but then turns around makes false accusations against the protesters.
    Just like Senile Joe, it’s funny but really pathetic. Sad. Both Lying Karen Le Roi and Truck Driver Joe have serious issues with Lying and running away.

  22. Mar

    This is Senile Joe Biden’s and liberal Milwaukee’s world, from the Milwaukee Medical Examiner: Homicides are tracking 29 percent higher than 2021, and 32 percent higher than 2020. Drug deaths are tracking 23 percent higher than 2021, and 42 percent higher than 2020.
