I can not believe how some things have gone way up in price. Besides fuel and consumables some things have gone through the roof.

In the past 2 years old spice deodorant in my area has gone up from $4.50 ish to almost $8.00. Every once in a while it goes on sale for around $6.00. Either they are paying the old spice guy too much or there is a microchip shortage that is not listed in the ingredients lol.

the blood of the economy is diesel fuel. I dont care what propaganda the uninformed spout out about electric this and that. The goods services and products that make the entire worlds economy are delivered by something that runs on diesel or fuel oil crude (also a diesel). whenever the cost for that fuel goes up we can 100 % expect the cost of everything else to jump up too. commercial trucks, ships, trains and so all need diesel. no one will convince me that it is not at least in part planned on purpose. up until recent decades diesel was always cheap, less than the lowest octane unleaded gas and in some case propane etc. shoot some of the older diesels before all the high tech junk would run on almost any type of oil like crisco, no joke. we could mix about a 1/3 a tank of diesel from the pump with recycled used cooking oil and it would run great in the 12v cummins engines and wakeshas. i will also throw out the point that we could go green by doing near 100% bio diesel that is sustainable, would put more money in poor farmers pockets and be good for the planet by reducing emissions and more co2 reduction. but that would be too simple i mean if we fix a problem what will we sell to the people in our campaigns and then how do we take more tax money for screwing them lol. ok ok im stepping down from the soap box.

They're trying to make up for having Jared the pedo in the previous ones.

Did you know subway's rolls were made from yoga mat material until backlash forced them to phase it out? And are classified as cake in Ireland due to sugar content?

Get ready for the great package shrink that will become a reality soon. 20% less for 20% more!
Already happening with fresh fruits and veggies. Selling by the piece instead of by the pound as they did previously.

Replacing him with Megan Rapinoe didn't help. My friends an I all stopped going when she was in the commercials. It didn't last long around here but I'd bet they still use her in some markets.

Hope you are throwing money into the stock market. Corp profits are freaking awesome currently. Now to sell my stock to fill up the Ranger and help out their profits.
