Our ol’ buddy Stephen illustrates how it works with a, err, distasteful anecdote.
BIDENFLATION: Now Is When We Sit in the Dark and Eat the Canned Meats
So how bad are things, really, here in the real world?Let me tell you another patented VodkaPundit True Story™.
The details are all correct and I haven’t even bothered to change the names because none of us were all that innocent.
Thirty-mumble years ago, I might have made a drunken 2 a.m. munchies run to the Safeway in Arcata, Calif., with my best friend, RJ, and the college girl roommates we were dating. RJ, for reasons best left unexplored, picked up a can of Libby’s Potted Meat Food Product — and then dared me to read the label.
I can never resist a dare but, this once, I wish I had because “Partially defatted beef fatty tissue” are words seared into my brain to this day.
No, we did not buy or eat any of Libby’s Potted Meat Food Product. We weren’t that drunk. At 22 and working only part-time, we weren’t even that broke.
But in Presidentish Joe Biden’s America, canned meats are flying off the shelves like rarely before.
While the New York Post didn’t mention Libby’s Potted Meat Food Product by name, the paper did report on Tuesday that “demand for cheap canned meats like Spam and Vienna Sausages is surging,” according to grocery chain execs.
“Spam is a regular item again,” Bronx grocery store owner Miguel Garcia told The Post. “I’m selling them at a discount now because I’m buying more.” He’s even set up showcases at his Foodtown, Keyfood, and Met Foodmarket locations for inexpensive items like Spam, Libby’s Corned Beef, and Chef Boyardee Spaghetti & Meatballs because demand is up 10%.
Garcia said his average sale is now $15, down from $20 at the end of last year because customers are choosing cheaper items.
These are the expectations baked into the shopping habits of everyday Americans after three years of Bidenomics.
And Zee Bugz, too, Steve, don’t forget Zee Deeelishious Bugz!
What a world we’ve let them make for us, eh?
