Climate

Nothing screams inflation louder than a bag of Santitas tortilla chips. 

The ones that used to sell, and boldly announce while doing so: 16 oz, A WHOLE POUND, for $1.99 ONLY. Printed right there on the bag and everything. 
They really believed in themselves.
Wal-Mart even sold them for lower due to logistical blessings bestowed upon them by the NAFTA gods.

Then the chips right foot creeped up to $2.29 ONLY. 
No one batted an eye because their eyeballs were too busy batting at the news and cat videos and politics. 
And Fauci. 
Like where did that guy even go? (I'm not really interested, just saying). 
Even Wal-Mart upped their price to the ol' $1.99 just to stay relevant.

Then somewhere in all the fray, chip bags overall got smaller like Donald Trump's hands. Crimes were committed upon the general public, and nobody cared. Well, a lot of people KARE-N'd and got all mad but nobody really CARE'd. 

Suddenly, a bag of chips would be gone in a day and a half instead of three. People began to blame even themselves for just being fat North Americans, and yet it was different somehow. The manna still fell from heaven, yes, of course, by all capitalist means, just less costs MORE ONLY ...now?

And so today, behold, a 9 oz bag of tortilla chips selling for a bold, but in smaller font, $2.98 (only)

Of course it has to be small in order to save on printing and plastic costs.

A record high for almost half the amount. A high - so high - that even Wal-Mart has to succumb to the printed chip bag prices instead of passing the logistical savings on to youuuuuuuuuu!!!

It's okay. They even changed the formula for the CPI index to fool you, lest you attempt to pay attention in a very ninth-grader-preparing-for-current-events-class kind of way.

But what can you do? Vote? Heavens, no. 

Get this: you can run for president and be a convicted felon.

But you couldn't vote for yourself...as a convicted felon.

Or be a foster parent. 
Or serve on a jury. 
Or maintain a license for an actual profession.

So that's how you know this is all made up. Oh- and about the other candidate dropping out? Same show, different clown.

Let's watch the dumpster fires get hotter together!

Also, due to economic reasons, mullets will now be business in the front and the back.

Count your blessings before they hatch,
TWS
