Shock, I guess I don't get out enough

At TSC this morning, 2-gallon jug of ISO 46 and a sediment bowl, $106. $59.99 for the fluid when the sticker on the shelf said $38.99. I really wish they'd keep their stock in the right shelf. There was only two jugs.

Buddy tells me the local Lowe's has stopped posting limber prices on the racks. He asked and was told the prices changed so frequently they stopped.

Mine stabbed me every time I walked into a Tractor Supply or Runnings long before all this started.

In our area railroad ties are cheaper or the same price as treated 4x4s and fairly cheaper than 8 pine posts. Guess which we buy. Its insane.

A local dealer charges $39.99 for an oil charges and the fifth oil change is free. So 5 full synthetic oil changes for $160.00.
The dealer does my car and truck. Oil changes every 6k, Then every 6h I go next door to the tire barn and get free rotation and balancing. Works out great.
Free rotation and balance and free tire repair from Tire barn.
Initially it costs $12.50 per tire for mounting and balancing then everything is free.
I like cheap oil changes and free lifetime rotation, balancing and free tire repair.

I used to expect that on a Ferrari but having trouble translating that to a 2x4. Lol.

This is the devaluation of the dollar and is a direct result primarily of the "Qunatitative Easing" due to the mortgage bubble burst, there is some lag time before the effects hit.

The dollar is intended to loose a few percent value each year, which is really a stealth tax on everything dollar denominated. To a smaller extent the co vid aid that was handed out also impacted this as well.

The current Ukraine situation is mostly impacting fuel and fertilizer with resulting spillover to anything grown or shipped.

It took 14 YEARS for the inflation from the mortgage bubble burst to show up?

What economics book did that idea come from?

dhermesc · Oct 26, 2022

The US money Supply (M2) was around 14.3 Trillion dollars in January 2019. It increased to about 15.4 Trillion in January 2020. In January 2021 it was at 19 Trillion dollars and in January 2022 M2 is at 22 Trillion dollars. Adding more than 25% more cash to the economy in a 4 year period with virtually no increase (probably a decline) in economic output is going to put tremendous inflation pressure on an economy.

M2 was at 10 Trillion in 2012. For there to be no inflation the economic output would also need to double.

There is a significant lag from QE due at least in part to it's smoke and mirrors nature. Add a few years from the co vid lockdowns to it as well. The effects were being seen earlier but were then hidden by the economic freeze of the lockdowns.

You only comprehended part of wp post............He is right on actually. (not my opinion)

Same thing here with both big box yards. In reality, you don't really want to know what it costs.........find something else to do...with your time and money.
