Just checked my email 😭😭

My beloved McDonald’s €1 hamburgers are now €1.40. I’m now bad at maths and really healthy

I reject your “inflation is only measured over 12 months” frame.

Anyone who covers CPI as an actual statistic *COUGH* *cough* All In Podcast ** And proceed to discuss 2% 3.2% 6% as actual targets of CPI always rubs me the wrong way.

I paid 60$ for 1 basket of normal groceries last week

If inflation is 3% then we have an entire economy colluding and price gouging… lots of companies breaking the law at the expense of the American consumer.

Careful with Namecheap, Marty. They seem to believe that domain name registrars should be able to censor without even waiting for court orders :

The FBI definitely believes that 💜

I often feel such nostalgia for the time (maybe 25 years ago?) when I believed the FBI was actually a force for good.

It was just a belief. I had it too. 911 changed that. 💜

If only more FBI people could be like Ted Gunderson.

A man ahead of his time

Don't mind me just buying 10 more years of time onto my renewal

I can’t speak to .xyz but as to .com, the registry (Verisign) under its government regulated monopoly contract with presumptive right of renewal gets to increase prices 7% in 4 out of 6 contract years. Due to the strength of the .com brand, they take the increase every time.
