Biden has never traded in the stock market. (That's about the only promise he's kept in all his years in elected office) Besides, he doesn't need to take risks like that. He has assured income from China and other nations. How do you think he amassed several million dollars on a government paycheck?

CPT Jack Durish he got a cut from Hunter Biden sometimes as much as 50%. Why do you think the treasury won't review the $150 Financial transactions of Hunter Biden that have come under scrutiny.

He's just blissfully, i.e., heavily medicated, ignorant.

We have divided bills in our home. My wife is responsible for grocery bills, so those have been largely transparent to me. I will pick up the occasional bag of chips or such. But I am responsible for soda for both of us (I drink an unhealthy amount of soda, so I don't make her pay for that). And because I drink so much, I buy in bulk, at sales, and/or store brand. And in the soda aisles, sale prices for name brand soda have literally doubled from $2.99 / 12-pack to $5.99 each - when you buy 4 or more. Store brand 2-litres are up nearly 50% from 68 cents each to 96 cents each (which is still radically cheaper than name brand).

I don't know about "real" groceries. But if they are mirroring soda, we are looking at closer to 70% inflation over the last 18 months. Probably more.

LTC (Join to see) We have had rotating shortages. Lately it seems like the straight Coke or Pepsi products have been fine. The flavored stuff - root beer, grape, sprite, ginger ale, etc. have been very hit or miss.

Because I drink so much, I usually do store brand Diet Mountain Dew (Mountain Lightning (Wal-Mart) or Citrus Drop (Kroger)) in 2L bottles. There was a 2 month period where I would be lucky to find 2 on the shelf. Did a lot of springing for the "real" stuff. And even that was hard to find a lot of the time.

Lately, Mountain Dew and the knock offs seems to be back in supply.

Dr. Pepper was hit or miss for being stocked up, but I didn't usually see it *out* unless the shelves were completely bare, which happened a couple times.

SFC Casey O'Mally it is really strange because we always have Dr Pepper sold weekly as a loss leader by this drugstore chain that's linked to one of the big supermarkets. You can usually get a six pack of Coke for about 3 bucks and that includes Dr pepper, Mountain dew, lemon iced tea, but lately it's only been Coker Pepsi and we never in my 10 years of Recollections have ever seen anything be out. I've seen it where if they're out of the bottled Dr Pepper you've got to bunch of 12 or 24 packs of Dr Pepper but all I see is a little 8 oz cans which are a rip off. I live in a city of 1 million people. Last week, I checked two different drugstores and one Supermarket over the course of a week. I even checked today and I was able to get to 1 L bottles of Dr pepper. I know there's got to be a Bottling Company in Edmonton or somewhere in western Canada so I wonder if it's because of a shortage of truck drivers? Even during the coronavirus lockdowns, I never had a shortage of Dr Pepper. There is no sign talking about the shortage and we are not restricted to limited quantities like we were with toilet paper and hand wipes 2 years ago.

SFC Casey O'Mally - I have to order Mountain Lightning online, then pick it up at their nearest store. It is the only knockoff left. Winn-Dixie and Save-A-Lot have both dropped their versions.
