I'm surprised there's not an inflation thread yet

Wow... If I was a numerologist, this might have some meaning.
I've spent $952 so far this year. I'll be getting $206 back in rebates, making it $746.
We're 42 days into the year.
That's $17.76 per day I've spent on DIY and essentials, with a large stockpile of everything I use daily on hand.
Cool Number. 
Hopefully Bidenflation gets figured out before I feel the need to buy anything. I'm certainly going to be fixing my own emissions again this spring instead of paying for a used car in today's market.

A lot of people don't have families, Joe*.
Take care of the gas and food prices. That helps everyone.
Fuck child care.

You and your Leftist Legacy Media spent the majority of last year lying and saying there wasn't any inflation, Joe*.

Why would we believe you when you say it will taper off this year?

Profits are up! Wages are down!
“Profit per unit of real value added” is not a common metric, but it's an interesting one. Generally speaking, we all believe that corporations deserve to be profitable if they produce a lot of value-added. That's only fair. But that isn't quite what's happened. Back in the 1990s, corporations earned 4-8 cents per unit of value-added. Today, after the big pandemic profit spike, they earn 16 cents per unit. This means that even if they plod along and produce exactly as much value-added every year, their profit has more than doubled.

When was the last time the President of the United States controlled prices of gasoline and food? It was back in WWII. FDR had a choice between losing the war by letting wealthy Americans raise prices to whatever the market would bear or winning the war.
The Office of Price Administration (OPA) was established within the Office for Emergency Management of the United States government by Executive Order 8875 on August 28, 1941. Pearl Harbor was still 3 months in the future. The way things work nowadays, WWII would be several years old (and very close to lost) before a Republican controlled Congress would even contemplate allowing a President to control prices without Congress immediately impeaching the President. Biden cannot control prices with this Congress.

Biden fucked the prices up with his energy policy.
He has no leverage to fix anything because OPEC doesn't respect him or Democrats.
He ain't fixing shit.

The Season of High Prices Has No End in Sight

Yes, this is true. But it's not like you can't get around that with planning.
In the last week I got about $280 of tools and materials for around $60 with rebates.
And now I've got a 6 battery charger unit that comes with a free battery for 56% off of the full price. 7 of my 8 existing batteries were free gifts that I got when I bought other tools on sale, and now 8 out of 9 of them are. What a fool I was back then paying for one of them when I didn't realize that if you bide your time they just offer them up for free every once in a while. I've got too many batteries for the unit.
I'll probably give a few of them away. I'm surely going to give away some of the regular chargers that they were giving away for free when they gave away the free batteries. I've got 5 of those now that are just taking up space.

My SINGLE MOTHER bought her first 3 BEDROOM HOUSE in 1988 when she was only 23 years old. She worked for a GM factory. House cost $77,000. Only 3x her annual income. Today that house is currently listed for $950,000.
I'm a crime scene photographer and manage criminal evidence to be presented in major court cases, it would cost me 11x my annual income to buy my childhood home a single mother factory worker bought alone only 30 years ago. – https://imgur.com/gallery/D5FELSc
You might think that the system is rigged in favor of the greedy sellers, and you would be right.

Yup. My grandfather raised 5 kids, put them through college, paid for his house and had a stay at home wife. All on the salary of a manager at a non-chain grocery store.
You fuckin' Boomers fucked everything up and it's been all downhill since the mid-70's.
Thanks for nothin'.

A hint, but this is owners screwing their renters because of greed, not because of need, since real estate ownership costs did not jump when Biden became President:
The cost of renting a place in Orlando rose nearly 30% just last year alone, according to a survey by the real estate firm Redfin. Cities in Florida, New York, and New Jersey are seeing particularly steep jumps in rent. As is Austin, Texas, with the biggest one year gain of 40%.
The survey, it should be noted, tracks new listings for apartments.
"That doesn't literally mean that every person in Austin is going to see their rent go up 40 percent," says Redfin's Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather. "But it means that if you are on the market right now looking for an apartment or home to rent, the prices will be 40 percent higher than they were the year before." (When your contract expires within 12 months, then you see a 40% price increase to stay in the same place. There is no simpler example of undiluted greed.)

In Capitalism, when you see an opportunity to gouge, you take the money. The result is inflation for eternity. It you got too greedy, then lower your prices slightly, but the price trend is always upward. All that free money that Trump gave away to get reelected? $7.8 Trillion. That was the signal to the greediest Americans to raise prices, since there is a bunch loose money to vacuum up.
The “King of Debt” promised to reduce the national debt — then his tax cuts made it surge. Add in the pandemic, and he oversaw the third-biggest deficit increase of any president, relative to the size of the economy. And unlike George W. Bush and Abraham Lincoln, who oversaw the larger relative increases in deficits, Trump did not launch two foreign conflicts or have to pay for a civil war.
