    Prices in Canada and Mexico didn’t increase anywhere near this much even at the height of the pandemic.

    Maybe Bird Flu is refusing to cross international borders. Or maybe U.S. monopolies no longer need to even pretend to compete and the producers are raking in record profits.

    I seem to recall that the White House is considered a historic building, and renovations need to be approved by Congress. It’s actually been a problem, because there’s a lot of wiring and plumbing issues that need to be addressed. Was this somewhere in the Big Murder Bill?

    Oh, right, I forgot about what Administration we’re dealing with. Of course he’s going ahead with it.

    What isn’t?

    This country never recovered from the 2008 crash. Each new “correction” as econ nerds put it has just compounded the damage done back then and added more. It isn’t going to get any better.

      You know they passed a law dramatically reducing social services and driving up the national debt with tax breaks for the rich.

      Par for the course. Thank a right-wing neighbor.

    Called the White House State Ballroom, the addition will be approximately 90,000 total square feet, which is significantly larger than the 55,000-square-foot White House as it stands now.

    The ballroom will be bigger than the entire White House by ~35,000 square feet.

    Room for infinite number of Big Macs and large fries.

      Yeah. While eggs have gone up a lot as a percentage, they’re still pretty cheap as an overall portion I n of the grocery bill.

      Egg prices doubling isn’t as bad as all the items that cost 5x as much as eggs going up 30%.

        Sadly they are still some of the cheapest breakfast options. 3 eggs is about 1.50 for a meal.
