Economy

Ours was 18lb $36. 

Is it normal for a 10-17lb turkey to serve 7-11 people? That seems like a lot of turkey per person…

That lead should probably read “Holiday shoppers increased spending 3.8% because of higher prices.”  
 

The attached article says that the numbers were not adjusted for inflation. So people spent more but purchased less.

Amen!

I was in a "big city", Sounds like a Hallmark movie, the last week and went to a grocery store to get stuff for our dinner.  Eggs, which I know we joke about the price and how it is not a big deal, but eggs were 5 dollars on the low end and 8 dollars on the high end, for a dozen.

Thanks President Joe Biden!  
 

just kidding just kidding.   

 
I’m confused. 
 

MAGA has told us that Biden has destroyed the oil industry and blame him for all the high gas prices. 
 

They say Trump will bring gas prices down because he’s going to drill baby drill because we aren’t drilling nearly enough to make us oil independent. 
 

We all know it’s a supply and demand market. So, if there’s more demand, oil prices go up along with gas prices. If more countries demand our oil, that is an upward pressure on prices. 
 

Trump has promised to cut energy prices in half. 
 

My question is, how does this fit in with that promise?

We all know he’s the greatest business man that has ever lived.  So, there must be some deep and confusing economic benefit to energy prices that I’m just not smart enough to see. 
 


 
Local gas prices

Monday morning 1-20-25 (before Trump’s inauguration)

$2.64 per gal

Tuesday morning 1-21-25 (after Trump takes office and promised in his inauguration speech that we’ll see gas at lower levels never seen before)

$2.99 per gal.

$0.35/gal increase on day 1.

Do we thank Trump now?  Or maybe the oil company execs didn’t get the memo in time to artificially inflate prices before so he could take credit for them returning to where they were under Biden?
