but to everyone I know this is *just* shy of a disaster. Anyone who doesn't think this is a *SHIT* economy has NOT had to put gas in their work truck or buy groceries for a family for awhile.

For most people *I* know, it's been straight down the crapper since 2017 or so. Someone can print a billion charts and it doesn't mean anything when I'm looking at $5.49 gas and paying $200 for what used to cost $80 and shivering in the dark while still paying $500 a month to PG&E.

this. Economy. Sucks. And may anyone who thinks inflation of over 2 percent and Gasoline over $3 a gallon isn't as much of an urgent issue to be dealt with by any and every legal means freeze in the dark as they watch their pets and plants die because of this *ruinous* inflation.

Nice happy looking charts, statistics, and cheery words for ideologs. Nothing to do with the reality here in California.
