You keep claiming that I'm making a false argument here.

I'm not saying that Joe Biden* has a computer program that he can just put in a fucking number for inflation and press a button and PRESTO!

Are you a child?

WTF is wrong with you?

Let me repeat your own words back to you: "Wrong. The answer is the Biden* Administration. Period."

There are three countries in North America. The last time any North American government had control of prices was back in WWII. All the rest of the time the Capitalists of North America have total control of prices. If governments want lower prices, governments will have to point a gun at the head of the Capitalists, just like governments did during WWII. Then government can "press a button and PRESTO!" Prices will be lower.

That is how prices are set, 6ix. There is no mystery to what is happening although there are a lot confused people (about 99%), but the Capitalists aren't confused about who decides and how prices are decided.

Yeah. THOSE ARE MY WORDS.

But you keep making it sound like I'm saying Biden* and his Leftist goons have some magical inflation button.

It's policy. It's killing the energy industry on day fucking one of his ill-gotten time in office after the mail-in fraud election.

It's passing trillions of dollars of stimulus and bullshit catching up.


Of course other countries are feeling the burn of it too. The USD is tied directly to petroleum.



I'm done going around in circles with you on this, halfwit.


At the end of the day none of it matters anyhow. The only people who are going to vote Democrat in November are rich white people. You've lost everyone else.

Keep blaming inflation on whatever you want until you're blue in the face and talking about a war that nobody here gives a shit about.

During WWII, government policy was that Capitalists WILL NOT RAISE PRICES. Capitalists did just great during WWII with fixed prices. Business was booming! There was full employment! The policy after WWII was that Capitalists can set prices to whatever. There are no more limits. That is the government policy you are complaining about. It is NOT AUTOMATIC that prices must go up when there are trillions of dollars in stimulus. It is a very conscious decision by Capitalists to raise prices and vacuum up money from suckers who are too stupid to understand what is happening.

Average with mortgage: $2,675

Average with rent: $2,436

Here's why I win. And incidentally, Second, this is why I'm not talking about ME when I'm talking about American's hurting.


My figures:

Mortgage: $0

Rent: $0

Auto Loan: $0

Utilities: $200/mo average for Water/Trash; Gas/Electric (a generous estimate)

Auto Insurance: $22

Health Insurance: $0

Cable & Internet: $20

Mobile Phone: $0

Alarm & Security: $0

Life Insurance: $0

TOTAL PER MONTH: $242

That's 1/10th what the average renter spends, and 1/11th what the average homeowner spends. Even better than that if they didn't neglect to add the average figures for Security and Life Insurance, which isn't ZERO.

And I guaranty you that my monthly spending on food and gasoline is far less than the average. There's no question that my property taxes are on the very low end of the national average, costing in a full year less than what your average American renter pays for apartment rent in a single month. And considering that aside from shoes, socks and underwear the only clothing purchases I've made in over a decade were from Goodwill, I'm killing it on the textiles front too.



Bidenflation is just another way that Democrats annoy me. To me it's no more significant than a mosquito bite. But I was never going to vote for 2020's Democrats anyhow. You need to be worried about all of the people who voted Democrat in 2020 that are being crushed by the weight of the Albatross of the Administration they hung around their own necks.

They don't give a single shit about your excuses.

I've seen plenty of "I Did This" stickers on gas pumps around here. Perhaps the criminals should be putting them on the gas tanks so Biden* is pointing at the hole after they drill into them to pull the gas out.


As for sitting on $7,000 worth of stolen gasoline in your home or your garage, that's just a genius move right there. Do try not to smoke your cigarettes or weed or meth anywhere near them while you wait for somebody in your neighborhood to report that you're selling drugs when they see the constant flow of people coming and going to your house to buy black market gas.

And do you know how much $7,000 worth of gas at $4.15 per gallon weighs?

10,120 lbs.

It's also just over 225 cubic feet, not including any space that you have between all of the containers. To put that into perspective, your average refrigerator ranges from 22 to 31 cubic feet. I have no idea where you're going to put 10 refrigerators worth of gas cans in your house and garage, but there's no way that OSHA would approve of the storage scheme.

Talk about an extreme level of effort and risk with very little payoff on the back side.

Google ROI


In the mean time, might I suggest working as a money mule for Indian and Kenyan call centers scamming senile senior citizens in the interim while putting off your plans for building your stolen gas empire until at least the tail end of the Biden* Administration. There's simply no benefit to any of this nonsense unless gas hit a price point of at least $20 per gallon. And that would be assuming that the price of everything else hadn't gone up in kind, which wouldn't be the case.

$4,194.
That is my monthly Social Security, when it starts in the third week of April. My living expenses are covered. When my wife starts her Social Security next year, at least as much as I am getting, and adjusted for inflation, we will be able to save money.

Now I will tell you the true story of a Trump voter. Married twice. No children. Opened a restaurant. It went bankrupt. He could not see the connection between how he ran his restaurant and his business failure. His second wife would have killed him for squandering all her money in his day trading on the stock market, but before she could he died of oral cancer because, you know, he didn't believe in doctors.

He is not the only American I know who ruined his life, yet never understood what he was doing wrong.

I loaned, so far, $721,953 to a Married/Divorced/One child/60 year old American at 0% interest, with repayments of $1,500 per month. That will require 40 years to pay it back. I will be 110 years old. I am betting I will be healthy and alive and one of the oldest Vietnam War vets but I don't think I will get paid back even if I live to be 200. Remember: zero percent interest loan. Last night she came by because she needs to borrow more money to replace 6 front teeth. It is either me or a loan from a finance company connected to the dentist. She cuts hair at her own salon. She is the boss of her life. All that money I loaned her over the last 8 years? She has nothing to show for it. She shows me the bills, for a broke car or a roof and I loan her the money, 0%, remember.

Another story: I gave to Jill, single/no-children/45-years-old, a 0% interest loan that will never be repaid of $78,700. Furthermore, $302,575 was a gift stretched out over the years since October 2011. Adding the loan and the gift together and that comes to $36,342 per year. Jill has nothing to show for all that money, except for the Toyota Camry I bought her, which she can't afford to drive because of gasoline prices.

I have many more stories, some ending with early deaths, but they all have something in common. None of the people understood what they were doing wrong, none of these Americans would change their ways except the most superficial changes such as driving less, despite their anxiety telling them they must make large changes, none of them realized that all their most important problems are their own fault, and money would not solve their problems, which means the Federal government, no matter how generous, could NOT deflect these people from the disasters they cause all by themselves, without thinking about what they did.

Not my point, and nobody cares.

My first point was that if nothing changes I won't even get $800 a month by the time I'm 62 and I could easily live off of that.

My second point is that Twitter isn't the Real World and most of the people who vote Democrat aren't in either of our financial positions and don't give one single shit about Russia or Ukraine or any other bullshit excuse about why they can't even live paycheck to paycheck anymore after a year of Biden* being in office.

Not only do they want answers why they're hurting. They want solutions. And all the current regime has to offer is excuses.

Democrats are done. Enjoy the next 7 months while they last.
