Here we go…

I bought groceries two weeks ago. Eggs are always on my list and then they cost $3 a dozen, but there was a limit of two dozen, so that’s what I bought. I almost didn’t get the second dozen (but I’m sure glad I did).

I was about to get some more items for the next two weeks. I don’t need eggs at this point, but I noticed that now the same ones I bought cost $12 a dozen.

Is this what these morons voted us into ?

Unbelievable.

Trump said he was going to lower prices.....he did...look at the stock market.

@JSul3 Wait, that actually does help me: when the stock I own pays its dividends, they'll be able to buy more shares!

@thisguy20 But doesn’t that mean the stocks become worthless ? 🤔

@bijouxbroussard No: all that happens is the P/D (price to dividend) drops, which essentially means the shareowner is getting a higher interest rate... Thanks to the miracle of compounding, that can become quite profitable.

@thisguy20 Interesting.
