She's talking about minorities, but I think white males are also a target, but mainly financially (i.e., make it hard for them to make a living to support a family).

In the three months I've been working at this job, two "real money advocates" (ha ha) have come in... the first guy was wearing a shirt that had "GOLD IS MONEY" on the back and "END THE FED" on the front. I talked to him... he apparently wasn't familiar with our little family here. The second guy was yesterday and I overheard him telling the old cashier about the price of silver, real money and how he needed to be ready... lol. I should have walked up and said...
"If you don't hold it..." ;D
Next time...
I just bought a $50 iTunes gift card for my niece for her birthday. They offered me 6 to 12 month financing for a $50 purchase.
Isn't that odd?
I got another round of "free" checks from Chase today. They think it would be a wise venture for me to go around and buy things for Christmas with these checks (or reduce my balances on those other high rate cards......) and they will give me a zero percent rate for one year, then it goes up on the whole balance to 8.95% (I guess that's cheap, I dunno, I made like 2 cents on my bank statement this month).
The zinger that makes me laugh is that the checks, should I (oooops too late they are burning in the stove) use them, charge a flat 4% up front for whatever it is you used them for. So they make 4% off the top, which is big interest these days, to provide you with access to credit you already have, and to give you a one year payday advance. If you screw up the date on the final payment they have you for the 4% plus 8.95 on the whole deal.
Fishing for pheeeeees?
Oh please.
I hate these bastards, but you gotta keep something for online and travel purchases and they are just evil.
And there's not much you can do about it. My (regional/local) bank debit card has reduced daily transactions on debit/credit/AtM to $500 a day.
So without a couple bitchass cards, you couldn't go buy that new generator or solar setup you wanted for Christmas, now could you?
Throw them all in the fire and let us dance.
I went to smart and final thursday, the bread I buy (Miltons) is 5.99 for a 2lb loaf ( I know I should bake my own) anyways it was 6.79 this time up 80 cents, ridiculous. Good thing I don't eat bread I just buy good bread for the little one.
Report finds Idaho living-wage jobs hard to find
Associated Press - December 12, 2010 2:14 PM ET
BOISE, Idaho (AP) - A recent report says 88% of new job openings in Idaho pay less than a living wage for a family of 4 with one working adult, and 53% pay less than a living wage for a single adult.
The 2010 Northwest Job Gap Report says a single adult needs to earn $29,642 annually to meet basic needs, while a family of 4 with two working adults must make $75,372 a year.
The report also says that for every 30 job seekers there is only one job opening that pays a living wage of $55,000 a year for a family of 3.

$5.99 for Milton's? Ugh.Quote:

Do you have a Trader Joe's near you? Their bread is much cheaper than Milton's. I like to get the 1.5 lb whole wheat loaf for $1.99. I'd rather spend 50 cents more and get the organic one, but it contains soybean oil.
The whole wheat loaf only has a few ingredients in it. You have to be careful with bread, because a lot of grocers (including Trader Joe's) are adding soybean flour to the loaves, or other fillers like cellulose (which is much cheaper than wheat I'm sure).
As for eggs, TJs sells a dozen extra-large for only $1.50. That's less than any other store in the area. I have to buy them when my friend doesn't have any eggs to sell me from her own hens.
For produce, I like to shop the Hispanic or Asian markets. In fact, just go to any grocery store in the ghetto, and you'll find the same produce from the same growers selling for a fraction of the prices that they charge in the suburbs. Isn't that nice? >:(
North Central, Rural Ohio..Gas Station pump Kerosene (1K), For the last 1.5 yrs has been steady at 2.99+Tax Per Gal - 3.19+Tax depending on where you purchase. About 2 weeks ago it raised to 3.49+T at the cheapest of Places, Now, Just today its 3.89+T at the cheapest of places.
Gas as of the A.M is above 3.00 (3.05) for the first time in the 1.5 yrs that we have lived here. :(
In the last couple of weeks I've seen more cars in the ditch than I usually see in a couple of winters; even though road conditions seem about typical for this time of year. It finally dawned on me what the likely cause is: a lot of people driving on worn-out tires this winter....
Never underestimate the stupidity of the average driver.Quote:

I had it happen 7 for 7 one day. I don't forget to watch them anymore.
Picked up coffee at Costco the other day, $12.99 for the same 48oz can I paid $9.99 several weeks back >:(
I predict the manufacturers will soon be stepping up the old switch a roo on package sizes to continue fooling the customers on price increases.
Ice cream now comes in 1.5 quart sizes versus the old standard 1/2 gal size.
Thomas Kemper Root beer comes in 4 packs versus the old standard 6 packs <-- I emailed them and was sent a reply that it was done for shelf space, they didn't reply too my reply of why didn't the price drop to reflect a much smaller package size. :oo-->
Kung Fu lessons just went up $10 FRN's/month

Sign at large restaurant supply store, open to public but they only sell food in bulk:
"Dear Customer, Due to rapid price changes from our suppliers, some of the items in our store may have different prices that what they are marked. Please check with one of our associates prior to checkout if you have any questions."
*Haven't seen canned roast beef available anywhere for months now.
*Getting harder to find plain frozen vegetables. It's primarily all smaller steamer bags; 'with cheese sauce', or other combos at ridiculous prices.
*Noticed a Wal-Mart carrying 25 lb. bags of wheat now, two different types. (Not sure how recently they began this, as I am only in that store a few times/year). There were 3 bags on the shelf, so I don't know if they maintain low inventory of it, or if it's a selling item.
*The "Fun Size" candy bars even shrunk! A mere morsel now. There's more packaging in a bag than product.

The lady later drove away in a not too old japanese sedan.
I was going to stick my word in and say that it doesn't matter if you vote for blue guys with red stripes, or red guys with blue stripes - it is all the same gang... but figured revelation will be enough to engage a mental block deposited into her brain by decades of propaganda...let them ripe and think themselves.

Wife wanted ice cream... of course you all know already they went from 2 quarts to 1.5 quarts and kept the prices about the same.
Next issue: cannot find chocolate with nuts anywhere even amongst the more expensive stuff that rarely goes on sale ... I figure between the increase in cocoa prices and likely increase in nut prices (I don't know where to find a stock exchange nut index) they must have yanked the flavor.
Second: Turkey Hill makes a flavor called "Party Cake" - they changed the formulation, putting cheaper-tasting and larger bits of "cake" to serve as filler for the more-expensive ice cream.
after mn eagle posted this, i went to walmart to see for myself. i ended up buying a bag. it was $12 for a 25 bag. says its "certified chemical free" + was grown in montana by:Quote:

Idaho trimming the budget again.
My wife works in the car business.
Found out that the bulk of car sales (at this dealership) are from people who are putting zero down and financing for 72 months.
I can't imagine paying for a car for 6 years.
6 more years of Obummer?Quote:

NYC line wraps around the block. Scary, scary, scary. Do they serve soup by any chance?
Deli meat is now $10/pound! I went to a store the other day that is a little more expensive but was not expecting that! Bread is getting pricey now too and some brands are $4/bag.
yeah - I paid $10 lb for freaking smoked turkey slices ---- getting closer.
Took a Quickbooks class at the local CC (one does not need a class to do it but employer wanted it) I'm in my early 20s and everyone there in a class of about 15 was 20 years older than me and most were there because they could not find a job and wanted to become more "marketable."
This happened awhile ago but ramen noodles were 18 cents a pack used to be 10 ;) a couple weeks ago chicken flavor was nowhere to be found :o
Meant to post this a couple of days ago, but I'm all caught up in the Japan DOOOM to the point that I have to close my laptop and stop being on the Internet. :(
I found out at work on Sunday (I work for a major retail chain) that there's been a rash of food thefts from the refrigerator in the break room! This is apparently a first (it certainly is a first for me--I've never encountered this problem before in any other workplace).
It's not fancy stuff that's being stolen, either, mainly basic things like sandwiches.
Ironically, the store manager and the HR rep had a sign up saying that if we needed financial assistance, please talk to them. I don't know what they expect when they've been cutting everyone's hours. I only work one or two days, and even my hours have been cut (some days I work a whopping four hours).
But a couple of weeks ago there was a story about our company in the NYT reporting about the few national chains that are experiencing "profits." Profits my a$$, that's all I have to say about it. But who cares since its stock went up?
On the "bright side," I noticed that they're providing a lot of extra free snacks, including microwavable popcorn, white and "wheat" bread and HFCS-filled jam. Thanks Marie Antoinette! :oo-->
My cab company just raised the meter rate from $1.95/mile to $2.10/mile. They also raised the lease they charge the drivers by $5/day.
When I started driving a cab in 2003, the meter rate was $1.50/mile and gas was $1.45/gal.
$3.99 for 12 oz. of diced ham. Along w/ the cream, cheese, & other ingredients; the cost of my egg bakes just went up.
Crazy.
Most expensive eggs in WholeFoods are 5.99 / dozen.
No such thing as 16 oz coffee pack, they have all been downsized to 12 oz.
Same with cereals, almonds, etc. while the bags appear like they will still hold 16oz.
Just found out on FB (it's good for something! lol) that a friend's POS 1995 car with over 265,000 was stolen from her workplace.
My new package of Scotch Brite sponges are absolute CRAP. They start to shred after only a few uses. And they used to be so good! :boohoo
Stopped into a Cost Cutters for a haircut. If you want a shampoo, it's now an additional $4.
Next time will return to Fantastic Sam's where the shampoo is included in the (lower) haircut price.
