It has become cheaper to eat fast food instead of buying supermarket items. I have been waiting for everything to take a huge dump and a step back down to reality, but it’s not happening. People are still over paying for houses, cars, rent, food. The rate hikes are making some kind of impact, but it’s not enough, people have too much damn money and don’t care. ---

Not so sure, I paid $44 for a sandwich and half, bowl of soup and two small Mac and cheeses in Panera yesterday! (oh two bottles of water too, sharing those between 4 now!) ---

I don’t think it takes a Voldemort _who should not be named_ for people to figure out why times are tough and who they should rightfully kick back across the Potomac. We’ll see how much pain tolerance the constituency has in 6 short weeks… ---

Ah dont worry. McConnell and McCarthy weasels or numbnuts led by Pelosi and Schumer. They are the same. Plus i am sure they will need to stop counting votes because of a leak or whatever other reason. ---

> [@gasdoc](#): > > We need sub-vented rates and larger incentives from manufacturers. Sure. If you have a time machine, you can go back to pre-pandemic times. Most manufacturers do not need to incentivize leasing since there are still supply chain issues. FWIW, folks can choose not to lease. There are other options out there, such as not buying a new car or financing one that retains its value well As for your political statement, I am just going to ignore it since it brings no value to the discussion. ---

Oh, you’re referring to the guy who rides in a USG plated suburban and pulls out a bike a block from the office and then tells you to just buy an EV if you can’t afford gas. Yeah, not a fan of Alfred P Neuman in general but I can’t fault them for taking leave. Probably did less harm that way too. ---
