F*ck how much higher are prices gonna go?

According to the current administration it's all our imagination. But they don't do their own grocery shopping or pay their own bills. And are clueless what living on a budget means.

Retired and just scraping by.

Well actually I'm hunting for a dental plan I can afford and have exhausted my long long list of research for one who can help me, with absolutely no help found. I will have to have one of my front teeth pulled and that really feels devastating. Everything is so high these days, no one can afford it

Retired but have good investments but talked to acouple in their 70s that cant survive on Social Security alone so both are still working. Dont know how families with kids can make it!!

Retired in DFW. Everything is paid for. The world's capitol of energy has difficulty keeping the power on. But we eat well and have money left over at the end of the month. I leave my investments alone.

Honestly, my grown kids are doing OK too.

been homeless for 3 1/2 years
Just found a room for rent july 1st
My coworkers, 4 of them are scrunched into a 1bdrm

easy fix too but nobody wants to do anything with america clearly

🤔..........I'm old and got all my stuff payed for...........How expensive is it now............Well in 1976, My roommate and I were living in a two bedroom apartment that was two blocks away from a private collage and our rent was $170 a month. So I only need to come up with $85 dollars for my monthly share of rent.........

Harris is indicating that she'll continue to enforce anti-trust and anti-monopoly laws. It's not really inflation it's price gauging

Oh, to about $10.00 a gallon and they ban all petroleum based engines. Its all on their agenda.

I rather be in my 70 and 90s and facing near death. Then live though the hell the government has planned for us.

You think the economy sucks now. Well, you heard of the "Great Depression" right. What's coming is going to make that look like hang nail.

Better get ready for the poorest world you have ever seen.

Not just in the USA, but worldwide this is planned for.

Up up and away like a beautiful balloon is how high they’ll go at the current rate. Even insurance (auto & home) has soared but especially auto insurance, it’s twice the rate as it was a few years ago and we shop around. There are some things I don’t even buy now due to inflation.

If things don't change in the upcoming elections, prices are just going to keep getting higher.

These companies are more interested in their financial gains than they are on the ability or inability of any individual to pay for the high prices.

Government mandating price control would simply result in a reduction of jobs - companies will lay off people, overwork those they have because they know they need the job, and do this in order to keep their financial gain at a certain level. They will file for bankruptcy close stores.

Is there a good and fair solution, no it isn't - simply because of the greed of people.
The government may actually be trying to help by not controlling prices because the outcome may be worse.

Rent control seems to be under the states.
President Biden has been pushing for federal law but you know Congress isn't going to pass it - Republican control..

Its tough for me i made some bad life choices.

I help out my Mom she is disabled.

I'm trying to find a better job or even a night job so i can keep my Walmart Job.

but it's tough I'm applying to many places but no email or calls for interviews.

Struggling but making it things got to get better soon

Well if the dems 'win' again... buckle up - you ain't seen/felt nothin' yet! 💸🩸🫰🏻

a LOT of stuff people consider necessities really arent.

I just eat a lot less. And I eat a lot of soup, and beans.

If the dems retain control prices will continue to go up

This why I didn't want minimum wage to go up. It actually lowered my wages.

I spend $100 a week on gas.

You are lucky you are where you are up here they are accessing our value so they can tax that as well ,, as for the high cost of things our leaders do not care as they are making way to much and do not pay most of what they want or need ,,

Trump (and not just him) gifted ~1 trillion dollars to wealthy people and corporations in 2020. Now we're paying for it.


Practical economy lesson about why the central banks shouldn't print and handout money like crazy.

Well according to most media outlets Biden/Harrisnomics are helping everyone have a better life. After all that mean old Trump had everyone living in poverty..... oh wait.

Why not make polyandry (a woman with multiple husbands) legal too?

How high are they going to go? The Bible speaks of it costing a day’s wages to buy bread in revelation. Don’t look for prices of food to go down.

Drastically downsized my house. I live in a lil hamlet with a cheap house and it makes shit a lot easier.

Filled up my car w/regular unleaded for $1.45 at DFW Kroger. Gas is $2.45...used my $1 discount = $1.45.

Think they are high now ? Hide your money if the dynamic duo get in.

Hopefully not too much. Inflation is a global thing right now, not just the US.

I agree x I’ve kept mine the same so why carnt everyone else lol

You are lucky since your dad is for help

But wait,, our economy is greeat.......🤢

I hate them both anyway.

🥺🥺🥺

By the skin of our teeth

You're telling me!

I'm in South Africa and the price of eggs is like three times what it was a year ago.

Luckily for me I don’t have many expenses and am tight with my money

Capitalism baby. Got to feed those fat cats

Just barely. Times are definitely tough.
