Eggs; 6$ for 18 eggs. Need to get back raising chickens.
6$ for a small jar of Smuckers Jelly.
Cant imagine where we're headed.

My wife and I were just talking about this. We've looked at everything we buy on a regular basis, and the minimum we've seen for inflation on these products year over year was 30%. Most items are 50%+, and some are 100%+ from a year ago. If we're at only 8-9% year over year combined, then there must be a heck of a lot of items included in those calculations on the zero end, that we never use.

You think the urban east coast billionaire Trump is worried about the price of diesel?

You have to understand that Trump was and is not a politician. All he tried to do was what was best for the nation as a whole, and that showed in what he was trying to get done. Ya, the guy is a huge narcissist, and he gloated in any and all positive steps that came to every citizen.......and took credit for those. I'd rather have a narcissist for a President, that actually enjoys doing what's best for the nation.......even if it is for his own ego. He can take all the credit.......just so it's what's best for the nation as a whole.

Brace yourself for disappointment, price may come down a little, but never anywhere near where they were prior to you know who taking office.

I don't care if you do or don't like him.

But if you think his personal concerns and worries are anything like your's... Or that he's giving up his money for your benefit...

Biden says coal plants 'all across America' will be shut down, replaced with wind and solar

President Biden said coal plants across the country will be shutting down, arguing that it saves them a "hell of a lot of money" to shift to wind and solar.

Just as Europe is restarting coal plants to make up for the shortfalls of green Energy, and Russia cutting off their nat gas.

Actually, that's one of the reasons he even ran for President. He's a businessman......he saw how badly this country was being run and knew that he could do a better job. So his concerns actually are a lot like mine. I care more about the health and condition of our nation, and preserving its foundation.......than my own. Anyone that isn't a politician that actually wants that job.......is a glutton for punishment though.

Traded my diesel truck in on a gas truck last week, so nope......

I might be doing the same thing by next year. I am going to see how this election turns out and get through this winter and next fall and switch back to a gas truck this time next year.

 

[GSPHUNTER]

My friends who have owned or do own diesels brag about them lasting 500,000 miles. I just say that's great but the rest of the truck falls apart around the engine. And from what I hear, repairs and upkeep are expensive, more so than gas engines. Never owned one so, I don't have any first hand experience concerning that.

Diesel fuel isn’t going away, it may be in shorter supply but if it gets real bad and starts affecting everything else, i hate to think about what will happen from there, and if that truly does happen it isn’t going to matter what type of fuel you use, you’ll feel the affects.

I wont be selling my diesel, I’ll gamble and ride it out.

fixed it.

 

[GSPHUNTER]

China gets 70% of its energy from coal and they have zero interest in changing that, they can't. Many of the other countries in the world also use coal as their many source of energy. Our reduction of coal mining and use for energy will amount to very little in reducing world pollution. kind of like pissing in the ocean.

I traded a 7.3 Powerstroke diesel in on a '22 model 7.3 gas F-250. Same torque, almost double the horsepower. So far mileage is just under 13.5 for local driving.

No regrets so far, but I haven't had it very long, yet.

 

[Shraggs]

I blame people who identify more as a Political Party member than an American citizen. Whiplash policy making (or inability to craft logical policy) is driving many countries into the dirt.

Social media had really fueled this. Brazil, France, UK, etc. Not just the USA.

Yep and there In lyes the truth and what a coordinated stealth worldwide effort is underfoot.

All of this (ie “policies”) is a means to an end. Of freedom.

 

[hicountry1]

Nah, Bidens policies have nothing to do with the price of gas and diesel....

Still driving my 1996 7.3 but it scares me leaving it at trailheads in the winter. If I switch to gas it will be for the more reliable cold weather starting.
