Inflation? Not happening

[orezok]

The new package of tissues cost went down 10%! But of course the quantity was reduced by 2/3!

See, no inflation under the current administration

The package shrinkage has been going on for a long, long time. Ice cream used to be 5 quart buckets now 4 quart or smaller. Orange juice half gallon 64 fluid ounces now 52 fluid ounces, etc.

Now if I could just get my waist to shrink that easily..

What happened to the lettering on the package?

Maybe it’s just a smaller package they offer?
Aren’t negatively politically charged statements restricted on forums?

Nope, same 4 pack package offered for years.

If politically charged statement were restricted, YOU would have been banned long ago.

They smooshed the package without fixing the font.

Just different packaging. BOTH 48 count and 72 count in a 4 pack ARE STILL AVAILABLE.

On Amazon both sizes are priced the same, i.e, 1/3 less for same price, your choice. Also saw same pricing for different size packaging on Walmart website.

+1!!!

I order things like laundry products online mostly from Sams Club, Amazon, or Walmart. Some things like Downy come in different sizes from different retailers. All three of the above have products in look alike dispensers for the same price. But some will be 150-oz, some 140-oz, and some 130-oz. The OP is just too stupid to realize that this is a marketing trick. And prices will never come down to where they were. The previous administration's inflation rate of 4-6% a year has made sure of that. And if you want to know where that figure came from Google it. The 21% rate under Biden means that it takes $100 to buy what $79 could at the start of his term. Some people are just plain STUPID!!

Everything went up in 2020-2021. It didn't start on Biden's watch, and had something to do with a Chinese bat.

I thought it was caused by a petri dish.

Whatever happened, it originated in China.

LOL
Sounds like Ozerok couldn’t figure out buy the bigger package of tissue, even if the price is the same
Looking to score cheap, fake, political points?

Are you saying it's the China Flu?

No, it didn't. SARS had been around long before the Covid 19. We just didn't pay any attention to it. You can't say the virus mutated at any one place. That was political. And Nature isn't political.

It actually did start under his watch. ‘21-‘23 was REALLY bad inflation.
Over 9% in mid 2022.
Inflation was ~2% before that. It’s in the mid 2’s now.

What major event happened in 2020 - 2021?
Who's responsible?
Did politicians play a part?
Who?

 

[CloverKnollFarms]

Thr federal reserve actually works to create inflation.

So, if you want to stop inflation, end the fed

You are right. Prices stayed down in 2020... there just was nothing to be bought.
Especially toilet paper and 2x4s.

Something about that supply and demand curve...
