Why is there a -1.6% next to energy?
Probably stuff they omitted, like gas (cars).
Yeah these percentages don’t add up
This post is PROOF you Have TRUMP Derangement syndrome! That’s a MENTAL ILLNESS and you MUST be Jailed or EXECUTED now according to Fox News!
We will reduce your sentence to 2 years of
re-educationde-education if you say something nice about Charlie Kirk.say something nice about Charlie Kirk.
He wanted to see the Epstein files released. We should honor that!
We will kick another year off of that if you swear allegiance to Israel.
The irony of MAGA coining the term “TDS”, as though they aren’t worshiping him like a rabid cult is too much. It’s always projection with them.
TDS is basically having the gall to take the things he says and does at face value.
It’s projection, as usual.
I heard that RFK Jr. is working on a treatment for TDS using crystals, homeopathy, and acupressure. I am praying that they are able to find a cure for this terrible illness that is destroying our country!
It’s one banana Michael, what could it cost? 6.6% more than it used to? (I assume this is since he took office but it’s not explicitly stated)
Soon a banana might indeed cost $10. The economic numbers don’t look that great.
Wait… A… Second…
He said he had concepts of a plan!
This data is flawed because it doesn’t take into account the increase in CEO bonuses and payouts. That should be enough to offset inflation for those who are rich enough and therefore actually matter and deserve to exist in peace. For the rest of us, we have to make do with trickle-down happiness.
Or just the general price gouging companies are doing because they can
To be fair I expected worse
There’s still time.
Well you’re in luck because we’re in free fall
I like the sound of free!
yeah there’s still time for us to go into deflation
Bankrupt a casino? How can You bankrupt a casino? He managed to bankrupt, what is basically a scam, and still calls himself a businessman.
He did it 6 times, not 1.
The answer is corruption, skimming from the top, and using company assets as if they were his.
Sounds familiar
I suppose he also made lots of money from his bankruptcies.
Capitalism
Bankruptcy is a feature for the wealthy, and a horrible last resort for the working class.
Casinos are not “basically a scam” they are literally a scam on paper.
Even as a young child I couldn’t see the appeal of slot machines. Like isn’t it obvious that the computer in it is programmed to pay out less than you put in?
If you embezzle enough, you can kill any business
He never said he was a “good” business man.
When did this chart start? I was looking to buy steaks on friday and those fucking things were like 2.5X what they cost last time I bought one. Ended up with porkchops instead. Bourbon was cheaper though…
Bourbon was cheaper though…
Of course it is, we have a glut of it right now in the USA because Canada stopped buying it up. There’s a lot more supply than demand now.
I cook for someone who hates porkchops but loves steaks and we ran into a similar problem with outrageous prices. Found a happy medium in thick cut pork chops cooked like steaks. Think I ended up using Lawry’s seasoned salt and some white/black pepper but cooking it in the same cast iron with some butter had it coming out with the same texture and flavor as the steaks.
Interesting, I ended up making a stir fry with the ones I bought but that recipe is pretty much the same as how I cook steaks (although less time in the oven for those) I’ll give it a shot some time.

That’s deep state antifa demoncrats doing it, they control Big Grocery!
Coffee has become more expensive all around the world though. Because harvests have failed.
Yes, and egg prices were rising rapidly due to disease, not some economic mechanism, yet he still promised to that if he were in office it wouldn’t have happened. So if he is going to promise on things outside of the control of the government, we should hold him to it.
Did he lower them on day 1? Because technically maybe he didn’t say he’d keep them low? 😅🤸♂️🤪
Yes, the grocery prices were lower on day one
…than they are today.
Not what I asked, but I gathered that much from the image.
Yeah, I your comment prompted an idea of a weasely way he could still claim his claim wasn’t wrong.
I just re-upped my coffee beans for home. I knew it was going to be more than expected but was not prepared for just how much more. I don’t go to Starbucks and the like but man those prices must be an insane jump as well.
I honestly think the rising price of coffee is gonna end in violence. People will fight in the aisles to get their fix, I know I’m desperately addicted. I can grow my own cannabis and make my own beer and wine, but coffee only grows far away.
I gave up caffeine a few years ago. I sleep better, wake up with more energy. The first two weeks were hell but now I don’t care about the price of coffee. I do have the occasional decaf still, but a cup a month doesn’t impact my finances.
So long as he’s rounding up brown people, Trump could shit in the mouths of his supporters and they’d still love him
I’m not a fan of this administration and consider myself pretty far left. Having said that, I watch the egg prices from time-to-time because Trump loves to use this line about fixing the egg prices in one week. At the moment, seems like they are down? Could be the USDA is lying; could be the meme refers to CA prices, which are statistical outliers at the moment.
I’d say the chart feels accurate for what I’ve experienced for prices. Energy has spiked so badly around us.
eggs have been pretty stable here the last several months, but they’re still over triple the ‘pre pandemic’ price.
Yeah, the pandemic was a complete shift, and I have 0 faith in the current economic policy. Tariffs won’t yield benefit for the average American and will often cost them more. Isolationism is a terrible policy when our main “products” are financial services, and the average American would never accept the wages of the global south. Even if we had factory infrastructure (which we don’t), the margins don’t make sense. We’ve also got bubbles on bubbles of fictional value (micro loans, housing, AI…). Tech is also imploding for the average worker, so less middle class opportunities.
I feel like my confidence in the American economy is at an all-time-low each day, lower than the last.
I’m not sure I would trust the chart on that page. Not only does it conflict with the numbers lower down on the page, but it says the average price for a dozen eggs is like $3. Looking around online, the cheapest I could find for a dozen eggs (across multiple states) was over $3.
Also, ancedotally, by me eggs have been going back up again from about $5.50 to over $7.
That’s a good observation. How can the highest and lowest prices be between $6 - $11, but the average is $3?
Because that’s not the average price, that’s the average cheapest price
They are lying, I purchased 2 dozen organic, free range eggs for $4.59 this Sunday from Costco in Cali, which translates to $2.30 per dozen of hipster premium eggs.
