Car insurance up 17% from last year

Haven't had a car insurance claim in 20 years and never have had a home insurance claim in the 13 years that I've owned it.

to bring it back to what i was first poasting about, I have a close comparison. It isnt exact, but in spring of 2020 Tommys was taking a blanket 40% off their malibus. They had a leftover 2019 22 LSV. Good options, roughly 143k MSRP, so $85800 after the 40%.

Today, 3.5 years later, they are once again taking roughly 40% off. They dont have a 22 LSV, but they do have a 2022 23 LSV. MSRP of 213k, $128,800 after their rebate.

Like I said, it isn't 1 for 1, but there really is not much difference between the 22 and 23 LSV. Three model years newer, and a 50% increase in price. I will shave some off since it is comparing a 22 vs 23 LSV and say the price has gone up 45%
 
Heres a one for one: im looking at purchasing a New Holland tracked skid steer. buddy of mine bought one spring 2021. just talked to a dealer now, who has 0% for 60 months, and that machine has increased in price by $25k.

ooops, not really thrilled about pulling the trigger on that. i guess they'll come down in price once the economy crashes next year.
 
1.75L of everclear 190 was damn near $70 on sale at the grocery store. Pretty sure it was about $45 last time I got some.
 
Just bought 12 eggs and a gallon of milk at the farm market, $12.50.

Going to a wake on the other side of the mountain, I stopped at a store on the hill to get some beer so I didn’t have to go into town. 2 12oz cans of local beer, $12.18:homer:

Edit: looks like a 12 pack goes for $16.99, I just payed touristy markup shit

yep, about $1+/beer for the Keystone/PBR/Coors/Bud Light level of shit in 12 packs. 30 racks are $24-30.

it wasn't that long ago I was paying $15 for a 30 rack of Keystone and would splurge the $21 for Coors :mad3:
 
oil should jump a ton in the next few weeks with Iran backing Hamas...

Fortunately, Biden got rid of our oil independence and petroleum reserves, so we have that going for us.

unless you listen to the politicians who claim we are energy independent and the cost of fuel is because of the oil companies gouging the people.


prices arent coming down on anything until the economy full crashes and burns, then we will all be screwed.

I want this shit to crash and burn sooner rather than later. The people that got us here shouldn't enjoy a comfortable retirement.
 
I was thinking more along the lines of the useful idiots who championed the string pullers pet policies because they couldn't think critically but yeah, the string pullers too.

Bruh.

Millennials are walking around with $1400 phones they can't afford, $300 shoes purchased on credit, designer jeans and shirts bought with a credit card, hopping in a brodozer financed for 9 years.

Stop with the boomer rhetoric.

It was boomers in DC who turned a tiny national debt into 33 trillions in three decades. How many millennials are in congress or the white house now?
 
$15-20 minimum wage.
40% pay increase and a 32 hour work week for the UAW
UPS get giant wage increases
The people that write the inane banter of late night TV, health care workers, on and on.

Gee, I wonder why we have inflation.

The boomers presided over the categorical change in the economy we had up through the 1960s to the kind of economy we have now.

What we are experiencing now we were warned about in 1960, 1970, 1980. etc. etc. and at every juncture we doubled down. More government involvement in the economy, more globalized trade, more foreign intervention, more financialization of everything. And now it's coming home to roost.

Yes, millennials are making bad decisions but I can't hold them all that accountable for the state of the world.

Its millennials voting for a bunch of free shit and $20 an hour for flipping burgers.

Maybe....juuuuuust maybe, selfish economic views are universal across generational lines and we have a cultural issue rather than a generational one.

Quit blanket blaming the millennials and blame the jackasses who raised them. You can blame the participation trophy generation all you want, but you need to look at who started handing that shit out, not the kids for accepting it.
