    He's a "giy"? What is he, French?

    Is he the kind of genius that posts under the name "madmax" when he's embarrassed himself under his other names too many times? Or is he the other kind?

    Mine where white, not organic or brown. There was a sign up explaining the cost increase of the eggs. I got mine at Giant. Would have normally waited until I go to BJs or costco next but was out of eggs and things will be shutdown for the next day or 2 with the snow coming.

    You're prejudiced against brown eggs? Even though they could be good for your economy?

    Not concerned. With Trump as president, we’ll have warp speed 2.0 pretty soon :D

    Oh, then, yeah, Giant ripped you off big time. Wegmans has 18 white eggs for $5.49. Safeway is cheaper than that too. Honestly, while housing is crazy, I am spending a lot less here on food than I spent in Louisiana because of all the grocery stores around here competing and keeping prices low. Plus no 30% increase this year on homeowners insurance (which is what our old neighbors took in New Orleans).

    Good luck with the snow tomorrow. I've spent much of the day getting in the Christmas decorations before they get covered. I did just get a text that I am off work tomorrow, so that is helpful.

    What do you think of the chart below in regards to 2008? It seems to agree with what my friend said. I haven't looked at 1980. 2000 and 2024.

    "The figure below plots the evolution of total domestic debt outstanding as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP), including both the financial and nonfinancial sectors, the latter of which includes household and public sector debt.

    [​IMG]

    Total debt rose rapidly in the years preceding the Great Recession, peaking at 370 percent of GDP shortly after the fall of Lehman. This ratio has since stabilized around 330 percent of GDP, a value that is still high by pre-2008 standards.:

    Back then? Silly you thinking that he all of a sudden stopped. The reason is because I care about law and order. The question is why don't you?

    Nope, that is the standard price at Wegmans for eggs. Feel free to look it up. Don't be jealous.

    Do you have proof that Trump currently employs illegals?
    That would be nice to see.

    You should eat whatever you find cheapest.
    That’s usually a great idea for health.
