    A geriatric patient probably is not calling the shots on these things. I would not be shocked if Obama and Hillary are the ones really calling all of the shots right now.

    I will get you one for $8. You’ll save $2 and I’ll make $3. Win win. How many you want? 3,000,000?

    So I was right. OP was lying and/or needed attention. Or poss dense enough to fork over 2x the price for the hell of it.

    I am interested in this. Not the conspiracy theory part, but how the president “sets the tone” for inflation. What exactly is the mechanism by which Biden is driving down the price of money?

    @docspor you are our expert in this area. Would you mind enlightening us on the state of our knowledge regarding the causes of inflation?

    I am actually far from an expert on Macro & monetary econ. I am a micro guy. My wife is. I think the general consensus is that it was primarily caused by commodity prices, supply chain issues, years of loose monetary policy (world wide) & fiscal stimulus boosting demand. tight labor mkts seem to be contributing to its persistence.

    Damn. y'all are fancy. My go to "store bought" burger is the Circle K jalapeno cheese burger - usually 2 for $6. I've always been a gas station connoisseur. Allsups in W. Tx & NM is a fav.

    He probably was talking about the price of the meal, which is $10.54 according to mcdonaldsprices.com. That is still a lot of money. 4 years ago the price of a Quarter Pounder With Cheese Meal was $7.89. So the price of a Quarter Pounder With Cheese Meal has increased by roughly $2.65 during the Biden presidency.

    I'll go with lying, and would note that in any event he knows nothing about economics. Neither do I for that matter, but I do know Presidents have little control over inflation.

    My company has raised prices by 40% and it has had zero to do with Biden.

    And four years ago he was making $8/hr, now he's making $11/hr ... you have to factor that in, too.
