Biden is not to blame....his incompetence may not be entirely his fault.

    For the record....was not a fan of Trump....but in the past 'election'....we clearly did not get the lesser of two evils. Perhaps my conclusions are too simplistic, but I can live with then
    "Brandon's" fiscal policies didn't help, but the other factors are significant part of it. The Fed reacted too late in my opinion.

    Hi this is Donald Trump,let's make Autogeek great again. I will file bankrupcy, again, and restructure everything. No one knows more about detailing than I do, ok? It's tremendous how much more I know about detailing then the evil Democrats. I'm very smart with coatings. I invented them. Maybe just inject some light and bleach into the products it will make them better. Just find me more votes and I'll fix everything. I'm the greatest ever and I'm like really smart, k? - Trump

    To many folks,(not saying you cleanit) believe those false captions to be true.

    Being fed up with the false information, lies, indoctranation, suppression of constitutional rights is an understatement.

    This keeps up and inflation will be the last thing americans will be worried about.

    Americans as a whole are to damnn nieave to think that we wont end up like china.

    Ending cash for Digital currency, mass suppression of rights and free speech against the narritatives, mass survallence will be the future, you will be told what you can and cannot do where you go and what you buy, starting by controlling your money. Travel will be restricted by "health" passports.

    Its a dark furture folks...

    You may be right about a lot of those things. I don't agree with everything in that oversimplistic image. You see both sides playing that game.

    I hope you're wrong about the future though LOL

    Re: Inflation! $$

    There is a book called Web of Debt by Ellen Brown that is really interesting. She goes back centuries. There are some economists that take issue with her analysis, but it's sound in terms of the history of it. It's fascinating.

    "Our money system is not what we have been led to believe. The creation of money has been privatized, or taken over by a private money cartel. Except for coins, all of our money is now created as loans advanced by private banking institutions -- including the Federal Reserve, the branches of which are 100% privately owned. Banks create the principal but not the interest to service their loans. To find the interest, new loans must continually be taken out, expanding the money supply, inflating prices -- and robbing you of the value of your money. Web of Debt unravels the deception and presents a crystal clear picture of the financial abyss towards which we are heading. Then it explores a workable alternative, one that was tested in colonial America and is grounded in the best of American economic thought, including the writings of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. "

    Costa Rica for me. My plan is to live in a hut on the beach. I will barter fish with the lady who lives in a hut downbeach from me who grows vegetables. If a hurricane comes and wipes out my hut...I will build another hut.

    Yea, it’s crazy, but if you think about it, not really.

    For example: [if my math is correct] Lets say you buy a gallon of Hyper Dressing and pay top dollar @ the current prices.

    -i.e. $128 per gallon
    Dilute it @4:1 to make 5 gallons which brings the cost to roughly
    $25 per gallon or $6.25 per 32oz. or roughly $3.10 per 16oz. bottle.

    Lets be honest, that’s actually not too bad, and some would say that’s pretty darn good for tire shine/plastic trim/interior dressing.

    If you dilute it @ 1:1 you’re paying $64 per gallon or $16 per 32oz. or $8 per 16oz. bottle.

    Some would still say that’s somewhat expectable if you were to pay OTC prices.

    Now lets look at what Meguiars used to charge for Hyper Dressing before the current state we’re in:

    i.e. $40 per gallon
    Dilute it @ 4:1 to make 5 gallons which brings the cost to $8 per gallon or $2 per 32 oz. or $1 per 16 oz bottle.

    Yes, you read that right, $1 per 16 oz. bottle.

    If you dilute it @ 1:1 to make 2 gallons which brings the cost to $20 per gallon or $5 per 32oz. or $2.50 per 16oz. which is still a damn good value.

    That’s 1 of the biggest reasons I appreciate Barry Meguiar, because from the start he made it possible for car guys to buy quality car care products at a fair price without gouging us and making us unnecessarily overpay for high quality products. IMO that can never be forgotten and it’s a reason why Meguiars will always have my business in return.

    I’m glad I was able to thank Barry and tell him that in person the 1st time I met him. He seemed genuinely happy to hear it. I knew from the 1st time I used Gold Class car wash over 20yrs. ago, that it came from a good place.Inflation! $$
