There are actually quite a few, but they come in waves. For some reason, the custom here seems to be entire families trick or treating together. We're talking groups of 15-20 cousins showing up at the same time
I suppose it makes sense, in a way, with the older teenagers being around to look out for the younger ones.
So I usually get four or five of those groups and a handful of loners. My dog loves it

I just had to close my business that was thriving under Biden's booming economy but that this Trump inflation destroyed it in less than a year. I can't even afford to live in this country anymore so I'm thinking of moving to sub-Saharan Africa for their stronger economy.

Move to Argentina. Trump has given them $40 billion and counting and sold out American farmers to benefit them twice. There was apparently a mix-up. Everyone thought MAGA meant "Make America Great Again." But it really means "Make Argentina Great Again." You'll need to move there to see the benefits of the Trump economy.

Figures for those who aren't talking out their arse because Macrotrends reflects nothing of what they say. They are full of ****
2020 Price
Steak - $9.65 per pound
Coffee - $3.09 per pound
Ground beef - $4.99
Eggs - $2.83 per dozen
The deeper truth inflation hides here is not just the steak or the eggs, it’s the fuel for the trucks, the wages for the workers, the packaging, the refrigeration, the regulatory compliance, the digital infrastructure for inventory and payment and even the cost of your shop’s electricity and rent
Each price tag is in a palimpsest of systems.
Farm level: Feed, veterinary care, coop maintenance, labour
Transport: Fuel, vehicle maintenance, driver wages
Processing: Cleaning, grading, packaging, compliance
Retail: Refrigeration, shelf space, staff wages, digital systems
Consumer interface: Card fees, loyalty apps and tech, data infrastructure and laws
Each on of these nodes is subject to its own inflationary and market pressures and the final price reflects a cacophony of invisible costs. It's not just the 26.6% increase on the shelf from 2020 we're looking at here. It's everything that's gone on inbetween and it's not pretty
So take your Macrotrends (If you need to) and check out the last 10 or 20 years and get a better idea of the long term effects of bad decisions that can be controlled, and then think about the ones that cannot

I just bought a lb of 93/7% ground beef and it was going for over $9.
I based my retirement budget on prices when President Biden was potus; things are tightening up now with The Diddler as our fake potus. -

Prices may go down temporarily next month with an increased supply of food on the shelves. But this will be because there will be no SNAP benefits next month.

This administration had more important things to do like funnel billions to Argentina, build Qatari jihadists a military base in Idaho, build a ballroom big enough for Donny to squeeze his fat ass into and, of course, continue hiding the Epstein files.

I believe Kushner has extensive business interests in Qatar, as well as Saudi Arabia (the nation that attacked us on 9/11). Everything Trump does is to benefit himself or one of his nepo babies.
