I just wanna be nice to everyone I like everyone in this thread ..
Absolutely... when I was a poor student, I would often opt for what I called the $1.00 special when my mates were buying Coke at venue prices (video arcade).every day after work on my walk home in the 90s id get a coke in the bottle and a skor candy bar think it was like 90 cents total lol
OMG That's terrible, but funny.Most know I grew up poor and been that was most of my life . Well a course that meant I aite much so much raman grew to hate it lol. Well my sister assumedi loved it since I aite so much of it lol. So one year guess what I got for Christmas lol
Same with me and my parents. Came here legally. Went through all the Red tape. It felt like half a lifetime before I raised my right hand and was sworn in as a U.S. citizen. My family has enough respect for this country to enter the right damn way!The truth hurts hence the heads buried in the sand.
Wife had some old guy tell her we need to help all these people that are pouring across our border?
So we should just let everyone who wants a better life just come right in? I think over half the world wants to live here for that better life who would blame them? So our population goes from 330million to 3.5 billion surely we can cope with that??? 😂
Oh did i forget to mention my wife got her U.S. citizenship in 2023. After coming here legally under a green card it only took 38 years to finally pony up the money and the many months of reasonable red tape but she raised her hand and swore allegiance to the America. I'm so proud of her. 🇺🇸
I like you too, raggie.I just wanna be nice to everyone I like everyone in this thread ..
Get some of that Frank's hot sauce. You can put that on everything!Sorry raggie, horribly exhausted from work over the weekend.
Currently speaking, at the nearest supermarket out by me:
Gallon of milk ~ $4.63
Pound of ground beef ~ $4.91 (and steadily going up).
Two loafs of bread ~ $5.98
Almost cheaper to hunt down people to cannibalize for meat. But I'm stuck in NYC, so most of them are going to be Vegan. I bet they taste like cardboard and tofu.
Same with my grandparents on my mother's side, and great grandparents on my father's side. I think both had to be screened for diseases at Ellis Island as well before they could even set foot on the mainland.Same with me and my parents. Came here legally. Went through all the Red tape.

From what I've read people are purchasing food using their credit cards. Credit card debt is at an all-time high. That's not managing the insane cost increases, that's adding cost in the form of interest.I don't know how people are managing with the insane cost increases, not to mention everyone want's a tip for every interaction no matter how trivial.
I'm glad to read such news. 👍At least my property taxes went down 39% this year thanks to the state legislature passing the homeowner's tax relief program.
Prices on food and gasoline always come down a bit, but never to the point they originally were. Unfortunately, politics does play into food prices as money mismanagement by elected officials causes inflation. Directly leading to our Dollar being able to purchase less than it did years before.any folks here recall prices ever going back down in foods? becuase dang come on enough is enough . should never cost so much just to eat. im happy if atleast chicekn thighs and and other foods droped in price
