#2
While the Fed's and their MSM cohorts outright lie and claim a 3.2% inflation rate. We have watched consumables & perishables (Gas, Meats, eggs, milk and etc..) jump 25 to 50++% and shrink in container size.

Hell most of what we now eat & drink does not taste like it did in pre-2020.

#3 The Fed calculates inflation using "a basket of things" nobody actually buys.

#5 #3 only things the top 1% to 5% buy and those who play paper games to make money.

GenZers are going to miss all those home economic classes that the 'educators' did away with.

#6 all those home economic classes that the 'educators' did away with.

Lots of blogs and influencers among the Trad Wives know all that and more. The information is free and readily available — at least so long as there is electricity and the internet.

#7 I was a high school guys athletic team trailblazer @ taking Home Econ class:
"Idiots! You get to hang out with chicks, make each other food. Eat. And CHICKS!"

#8 Eat. And CHICKS!"

A trailblazer, indeed. Cooking is, as my chemist father demonstrated regularly, merely a particular branch of applied chemistry, so it probably helped with your engineering studies later. ;-)

My little sister (now a computer prof.) was the first girl to take shop. She figured she learned plenty of cooking at home, so she went to hang out with the guys and use very sharp implements of destruction.

#9 Shop class might be more important than AP, given the current state of Higher "ED"

They don't know what to know, so they don't know what to look up. In the other ear, Corporate is telling them to look up Sumdood to come fix their blinds. It creates an atrophy of mind and body.

Got an assemble-it-youself drafting table, made it a point to assemble it in front of the kids and sure enough, especially with the decline of decent instructions over the last 10 years, and they at least see not only how to use the tools, but how to power through a blunt turn the screwdriver which fits into the space, plus 'gee wish I had this particular tool'.
