Don’t Worry, It’s Transitory

  1. Hyperinflation is coming. But wait, wasn’t it Russia that was supposed to collapse, and we were rich?

    When the pandemic of the vaxxed hits (and it’s coming) all those asswipes who gobbled up the clotshot in great bunches, are going to be seriously effed. Us unvaxxed will just have a sniffle at worst.

    Businesses will collpase from lack of healthy staff to do the work.

    Us unvaxxed will then be the new Jews. They will be forced to herd us into camps, “for their own protection”. At that point, you’d think vaxxed people who took the vax to protect themselves from the disease, will begin to ask themselves why it is that they need to be protected from people who didn’t need the vax?

      1. While collapsed, Russia still achieved some great things. (And by “great,” I don’t mean anything good.)

    1. I disagree about the camps.

      I believe there are a solid 20, maybe even 30% unjabbed, even in the worst countries like Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Some held out, others faked it. If numbers were really 90%, the torture wouldn’t have had to continue so long. And we have jabbed people on our side who made a bad choice for one reason or another. They didn’t have the manpower for camps then, they certainly don’t now.

      There are too many of us and a growing number who on some level know they were poisoned. I’ve heard nurses admit the shots were useless. Very little uptake of boosters would indicate most believe that as well. Next, the masses will move from knowing the shots were useless to they were intentionally harmful. At that point, our elites get hunted down. That’s my take…

      I believe the vaxxed are screwed but I’m hoping the cures floating around the internet help the coerced.

  2. Gee looks like they need to raise interest rates way higher to fight this inflation……(sarc)

  3. Gee, maybe it was a bad idea to shutter so many of our manufacturing facilities and let China build all our important stuff?

    The MBA / Wall Street answer is of course, “Hell no, we got great bonuses doing all that!” but here in the real world …

    I can’t see any other outcome for the next decade but bleak, bleak, bleak. A lot of fools have to suffer a lot of pain for our societies to make any meaningful course correction. It may not even be possible. We may well have passed peak Western civilization decades ago and are facing nothing but decline from here on out.

    1. “What did the Romans ever do for us?”

      Well… the Romans did provide us with a warning… but no one today is paying heed.

      Do the same things, get the same result. We seem to be headed off to join the Romans.

  4. And no aftermarket or junk yard salvage parts allowed on John Deere. Only available from a licensed John Deere dealer. So they can use their proprietary software to program it and the marked up labor cost 4 times over what it was 5 years ago. Then don’t forget back order. The part is will be there in 8 months and then it will cost $5000 for good measure.

    1. “And no aftermarket or junk yard salvage parts allowed on John Deere.”

      Absolutely not, only GREEN parts allowed.

  5. Looking at my driveway snow clearing contract today – up 8.3 % over last year. My property taxes, up 25%. Etc

      1. I had one of those for a few years. Put a lot of board feet thru it. The chip evac fan would inflate the dust collector all by itself. They were around $700 for close to 10 years. About the best you can get in the consumer line.

      2. Check out the Craftex 13″ helical one from Busy Bee tools. Currently on sale at $610

        I have one… good planer. And you could support a decent Canajun company.

  6. Yep, transitory to net zero, when all the West will flatline.
    They kept yapping for years about “the great reset”, didn’t they?

  7. But if it’s planned it is not a failure. Trudeau wants to make life horrifically unaffordadable to force us to make the choices he wants us to make, and he is doing it. As far as fullfilling his mandate goes, he is currently the most successful leader in the world. The masses be damned.

      1. @Arty – “I dunno. The English and French are ahead of target too.”

        That’s because it’s One Cabal with lots of greedy puppets.

    1. That’s what many, even on the right, don’t get – they can’t understand how the Turd and his henchmen can be so tone-deaf to the impact of their policies, that they’re damning their electoral hopes and should course correct, if not for the good of the country then for their party. But they, like the Biden regime, are doing exactly what they intend on doing. When you realize that, the implications for our future become clear – there will be no elections that will see a candidate elected who will slow or reverse what’s been set in motion.

      I think we’re past the point of no return. Here in Canada, every institution has been captured or corrupted. In the US, there’s a smidgen of hope, largely because of their constitution and Bill of Rights, especially 2A.

  8. The only people that are better off now than before Trudeau was elected is Trudeau and his cronies. You have to hand it to him though, he knew what what fools Canadians are.

    1. A lot of them voted for his commie old man. (Not his biological dad, also a commie, but we couldn’t vote for him)

    2. “You have to hand it to him (Trudeau) though, he knew what what fools Canadians are.”

      The masses are asses.

    3. “……..he knew what what fools Canadians are.”

      Again have to assume Trudeau is in charge. All indications are a global network in lock-step policies with fools to implement those polocies on foolish lazy populations.

      Trudeau isn’t smart enough, educated enough, or experienced enough to pull off everything he’s done with impunity as he has done.

  9. Just wait until they try to implement lockdowns.
    There is no fat remaining in the system.
    We are broke, overborrowed and interest rates only going higher.

  10. A couple of years ago, you could buy an 850 gram bucket of BONDO auto body filler that came with one tube of hardener, for about $12.
    I went to buy some yesterday, and the EXACT same can is being sold for $38, and the hardener for $8.99. There is more than just inflation going on. We are also experiencing some SERIOUS gouging from both manufacturers, and RETAILERS.

    My comment above refers to the Home Hardware near my home. They are gouging the crap out of us and hoping we don’t notice that everyone is to blame.

    Oh…and why the hell is a bag of Miss Vicki’s, $6.95?

    crazy.

    1. $6.95 for a bag of Miss Vicki’s. Our local GTA supermarket is less than $4. You are definitely being gouged, my friend.

    2. I was at Safeway yesterday, buying almost exclusively produce. The bill came to $130+. I emphasize this was mostly vegetables. In the summertime. I filled two paper bags with vegetables…over $130. I had a problem scanning some russet potatoes. I called the lady over who supervises the self-scan area. She mentioned how expensive russets were. Mm-hm, yeah, I said. Since when are russet potatoes expensive, I thought. I glanced at the bill as I was packing up. My five russets cost over 7 bucks. A potato costs more than a dollar each? I know this is Trudeau’s Canada, but really?? Then I noticed my bunch of bananas cost 6 bucks. So the banana boat charges less to deliver the bananas to landlocked Alberta than the potato truck from behind the hill over yonder. Sure, that makes sense.

      It’s going to be a long, cold, hungry winter for a lot of people. How much more money of ours is Trudeau giving to his bone-idle and brain-dead employees?

    3. I strongly believe Canadian retailers, wholesalers or Canadians in general are the greediest people in the world.

  11. Birthday card at Shopper’s about $6
    We got 4 cards, 4 AA batteries at Dollarama for $6.30

    1. Let us know how long the batteries last. If they don’t die within a month or so I’ll join the starving hordes fighting over batteries at Dollarama.

    2. When I visit Canada ,I love going to the Dollarama. It has some good deals especially with the exchange rate.
      The Kent store is also much nicer than Home Depot. Tim Horton’s is a shell of what it was 20 years ago.They don’t even have maple donuts very often .

  12. My cheapie potato chips at Walmart use to be $0.97, now they are $1.67. Can of GV mushrooms went from $1.00 to $1.27. Walmart no longer sells their cheap GV mac & cheese for $0.60, but only offer other brands for like $1.50. I can’t believe seeing beef roasts selling for between $40 and $60!!!

    Pretty soon “the people of Walmart” memes will only be showing millionaires. Oh, those poor, starving millionaires.

    With Trudeau’s immigration explosion policy set to bring another 500,000 or so into Greater Vancouver, I ought to be expecting my rent to jump from $1600 to well above $2,000. OK, I only pay $1200 because of rent control, but it’s a shit box 527sq ft, built in ’84, with no dishwasher, washer or dryer. The landlord keeps taking in people from social services, since the gubbmint doesn’t miss the rent. I have two schizophrenics, a bipolar disorder, and a couple of scum bags who sell heroin to street people living on just my floor. I can’t afford to leave since I would have to pay probably $600/mo more for something better than this, so I sit here waiting for one of these wierdos to cause my untimely demise.

    Then I drive to work with gas stations showing $1.989 for regular.

    Canada! What a country!

  13. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason (besides the gouging part) to some of the pricing. The problem with John Deere, besides the normal Deere gouging, is that the distributorship is almost exclusive to Brandt equipment, a Canadian company at least, they bought out Cervus equipment and also hold the rights to John Deere in the USA and Australia, but run very poorly with antiquated computer and accounting systems. I know someone that works for Brandt, they say the case dealer across the street sells Brandt brand grain augers for thousands less than the Brandt dealer themselves!

    Same goes for the food prices, it seems like a game sometimes. Good deals pop up and people race to get them.. No Name potato chips, “Always 3 for $3” until they weren’t, now $1.49 each. An 18kg sack of rice for $33 is a “good price” these days. Beef seems to be the latest victim of inflated prices, used to be able to find a deal on a whole sirloin roast and slice it up for steaks.
    Potatoes were on sale for $5.99/10lb bag, but you have to look closely, as the quality is poor and some bags have a rotten ones inside. You have to pour them out into a cardboard box to dry out and keep them in the dark, so they last.
