Walmart’s Statement on Inflation Undermines Biden Narrative As Many Americans Flee The Country. (Government Stops Reporting Numbers.)

The Biden administration wants you to think, like COVID, that inflation is pretty much over.

However, according to Walmart, in January, food inflation was running 11.4% year over year, which is well into hyperinflation territory.

“Generally speaking, food inflation has been the most stubborn of the categories,” Walmart U.S. CEO John Furner told analysts and investors on the call. “So, we were in mid-double digits in Q3, and Q4 hasn’t come down all that much. A little bit, I guess we could say, has come down the last couple months, but it still would be a high level of disinflation at this point.”

Walmart Inc. CEO Doug McMillon called inflation in dry grocery and consumables “stubborn, mid-double digit,” saying “those are going to just be with us for a while.”

“And it’ll get a little confusing because you’ll hear inflation numbers that start to sound lower, but you’ll have to remember, that’s on a two-year stack,” he continued. “So if inflation in dry grocery and consumables is only three or five, that’s on top of 15. And that’s still a problem for the customer and a pressure in their wallet.”

Eggs, he noted, were “at 200% inflated in January” but have since dropped to “just 50% inflated,” something he said is “still a problem.” Meanwhile, milk “is actually less than a year ago,” and beef “is lower in terms of pricing” as well, McMillon said.

American consumers would have to go back to the 1970s to find something worse than what is unfolding now.

The cause, of course, is endless government money printing to prop up the stock market and keep mortgages impossibly cheap, while they invade and run the rest of the world. They don’t have to print as much money to do this, but it’s easier to inflict an inflation tax on Americans than to demand that people like Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Tim Cook, and Elon Musk pay more while they’re playing “See who can die with the most hundreds of billions of dollars.”

In a ludicrous display of toxic masculinity gone wrong, Musk marched into Twitter in November, promising to turn things around, and the company is still hemorrhaging cash despite losing over 85% of its employees. They just had another layoff last Friday, which went mostly unreported.

But while Elon Musk is busy losing his fortune and trying to get a consolation prize of using a reverse shadow ban to multiply the number of people who see his tweets by 1,000, most Americans are facing a 9% increase in the price of cat food since last month.

I’m certainly glad I got a “cat food mountain” back when they had rebates on it. I still grab a bag now and then when there’s a rebate and stick it in the pile, sorted by the date of expiration.

Perhaps to discourage hoarding, I noticed that during the “shortage”, the manufacturers have been putting “Best By” dates on the bags that only go about 9-12 months out, instead of the typical 18 months or so that the bags used to have.

Anyway, cat food is a pain point when you have two of them to feed. Eggs have been just terrible too. To get them for 45 cents, you have to buy them 60 at a time. They were about 9 cents each in 2020.

If the Republicans were smarter, they could have used inflation to their advantage instead of making the last election a referendum on social issues that the public has strongly disagreed with them on for about 50 years.

Inflation is a major problem all on its own. As was recently discussed in the #Techrights IRC, the US is breaking down for many of the same reasons that Russia did after the Soviet Union collapsed. Gangsters are running the country, and the government is their pet. Additionally, something close to an absolute majority of American voters are too dumb to run a democracy, so things here are spiraling rapidly out of control while CNN talks about Cardi B’s butt implants.

Shortly after CNN published that a record number of Americans had resigned their citizenship and left forever in 2020, the government fixed that problem by not making any reports about it after Q2 of 2021.

CNN blamed Trump being in the White House for the mass exodus, but as it continued and got larger under Biden, this administration stopped the embarrassment by refusing to tell us how many people are now leaving.

More people would leave if they had any money. It’s hard to flee when you can barely keep up with the prices of eggs and cat food at Walmart.

For the past two decades or so, an increasingly oppressive dragnet that spies on everyone and makes criminals out of whomever it sees fit, and has people who are inconvenient to the state murdered in secret by the police (either shot or choked to death or deemed by a government coroner as “natural causes” in their jail cell) has been allowed to take root in this country. (If you become a persistent pest, they eventually deal with you and no questions are asked. If the questions are asked, you become the next target of the cops and there are still no answers.)

Nobody here is free, and nobody here has been free for a while. But now, most people are utterly broke and the media is covering up the deaths that continue as the legacy of COVID-19 and the mounting unemployment and inflation with stories making the US seem like a utopia with a booming economy.

This mass gaslighting asks Americans to take leave of our sanity and second guess everything we are seeing unfold in front of us.

The “All Cops Are Bad” movement seems to mostly make the issue, incorrectly, exclusively about race, however, I spent the last four years and untold thousands of dollars restoring my good name after being besmirched and severely mistreated by them after a campaign of slanderous lies by an individual formerly in my life.

The police will ruin your life and nearly drive you to suicide at three in the morning just because it amuses them. They don’t need a reason. If you want to make them a serious threat, make it personal and see where that gets you.

Anyway, once they have you in their twisted grip, the only way to respond is with a bankruptcy inducing legal defense because today, people who look at what’s happening in your life see a piece of paper and move right onto the next candidate for employment or an apartment or whatever it is. They don’t even want to know you.

There’s just too many people in their life with a clean piece of paper that comes out of the printer that will end up trashing the apartment and not paying their rent or not showing up for work and stealing money out of your cash register, but hey, they haven’t been caught doing anything wrong yet, and that’s what counts.
