Biden is apparently responsible for world wide inflation.
He is not responsible for it here either.
(his response could be better)

He isn't directly responsible. The fed bank is.

Things are really slow up here, I'm giving quotes for trees and milling and not getting anything. People are going with the much more expensive guys, because they offer financing through those high interest rate loan companies. They used to bill customers for the tree removal and stump grinding separately, so I was able to come in and at least get the stump, but now they are charging both together and leaving the stump for months. Motor shop is dead, as is the live edge and milling. Last government we had insulated Canada from the world's economic problems but they were worse than nazis, so we are told.........

The time to buy was back in July when inflation was 0%.

Yes I do. And after seeing what wood is going for now I might just sell some overstock.

The guy I rent from gave me a rotten old-growth Bishop pine today. Oh, boy. Oh, boy I'm so happy now.
Butt log about 30 inches dbh by 30 feet long. The rind is sound and about 4 to 6 inches thick and is clear vertical grain fat-wood. Splits like a deck of cards.
There's years worth of kindling in that rotten old pine, and you can light a stick directly with a match. A single stick, half inch square, will burn like a candle for 20-30 minutes. Sooty like a rubber tire.
Though you wouldn't want to burn too much at a time in a wood stove. Because it will soot up a flue in just a matter of hours and cause a chimney fire so ferocious, if the instalation wasn't spec you'd burn the house down for sure. Bunker oil.
For discriminant use only
I'm cutting and splitting the fat-wood into bolts, and setting it aside for years worth of easy kindling in the coming years.

Record culling due to record # of cases of avian influenza would have nothing to do with the price of eggs....
How many thousands of items are on the price list for inflation numbers again?
Eggs is a small one and would have little effect on the overall numbers..
Our local gas station quite giving a 10 cents off per doughnut deal if I buy two. That doesn't mean inflation is at %10...except for my occasional morning doughnuts of course

Denial is not a river in Egypt.
Feel free to state what you mean clearly.
I never said anything about "sole factor".
There are many things involved: manipulated/convoluted numbers, actual supply chain problems, logistics issues, greed, real inflation, deflated worth of currency, etc.

After many trips across the desert Southwest. I can say that Amtrak is THE way to travel. That said, every trip has been something of an adventure. Just ran into a raging lefty. Her young son was told I smell like alcohol. That's likely true, I don't doubt her. What I take umbridge with is being called a racist, when that woman had never spoken to me. The black lady from Vegas didn't think me reprehensible, and I was being polite. I offered to carry the lefties oversized luggage downstairs and was yelled at. So I slipped past her mess and stood by the door so I could step out for a smoke. That's when she decided to talk smack to her son. Well at 1:30am, I ain't got the patience God graced me with at 1:30pm. So I lipped up. I also didn't quit.
"Ma'am, you can judge all you like, but I know where I stand with God."
"Don't mind him honey, God's not real"
"So this excuse for a human would rob her child of all wonder in the world, all that which is sacred. That's fine, you worship at a low altar, and God will judge you for that. I will keep my oaths and my faith in my brothers. May God preserve your tainted soul, and may you find solace before the final end, ma'am."
"Don't listen to him, he smells like booze."
"Ma'am, I may stink of malt liquor, but you reek of self-righteousness. Your bile will turn your child against you and you will die alone. Bless Your Heart."
She was silent whilst me and the black mama chatted until the train stopped and I helped the mama to her car while smoking a cigarette. I may have been really petty and dug at her as she passed with another "Bless Your Heart", the epitome of Southern Slang. For those who don't know, it's often a code for "frig yourself, but HARD".
I happen to have a certain amount of poetry in my heart, and upon occasion, I use it for unkind purpose, as God moves me to.
Kind of like hollering at a pair of flat landers traipsing across a drainage in the petrified forest. I'd spent over an hour wrangling my daughter into the trail, for these ass wipes to walk through the mud, in line of sight of the "Stay On Paved Surfaces" sign. Brother Wyatt started, but I wouldn't shut up til they got back on the trail. "Hours of yelling at an 8 year old to behave herself, and look at you fucks, In line of fuckin sight of the damned sign. Are you retarded? Or just self important? Don't worry I'll wait, frig stains!" And so forth. In public, loudly. We also reported them to the park rangers, and supplied photos.(Not here, that's on going investigating, and I want the fuckers to fry!)
Sorry, just mad at self important, self righteous fuckheads. I've been years, making right with both my Gods and the Christian ones, but what do I know of atonement?
My life is a journey of faith, and I welcome it, for God Wills It, and God is Good.
