Twelve dallers? That's a steal post-inflation.

I just fed myself and three kids on <$20, which was pretty cool.

When is the "post-inflation" going to happen? Haven't seen any indication of inflation coming to an end in my lifetime.

Fuck yeah.... Not really implying it's over but there's a huge spike from 2020 to 2022 but much less so from 2023 to (now) 2025.

Prices spiked from pre pandemic to post pandemic. Burgers from 8-10 dollars to 15 ish dollars. So like 50 percent. From two years ago to now... Idk. Burger spoked from 14 ish dollars tobamube 15-16. Ridiculous. But predictable/ reasonable (but actually inreasonabel).

That's where I come from. Chime in from other countries other than my current state of mother fucking Georgia, USA...

Edit: happy to double check my math with sources when I'm sober again. Happy new year's!

It's always a good time to start Internet arguments when you're drunk haha. Have a good new year's eve!

Oh yes you, too!

Also, I googled when sober again.

So I guess I was referring to the "mountain" of inflation around 2022 that really made everything so expensive. And I notice now as well that inflation has stabilized at a higher rate then before. So to circle back... Yeah... Maybe calling it "post inflation" wasn't quite spot on.

Anyway. Toodledoo!
