Prices were up 5% in May compared to last year as the cost of many goods keeps rising. The rise in gas prices is one of the most noticeable signs of inflation.

Why would we expect anything less from this administration?

RBOB Gas (wholesale gasoline cost) has increased from $1.03 per gallon to $2,18 per gallon, since election day. That strongly influences all other prices. Biden is a disaster.

Caused by inflation, remember when we produced more energy than we used? Yes, that was six months ago.

Adam Schrader

Stupid question. Of course higher prices on everything effects one's finances

4 boards to replace on our deck was almost 5xs what it was last year. Fuel has doubled since Biden took office and groceries have doubled some have tripled

The price increases are not across the board, so their impact is felt differently depending on what consumers purchase.

The items that have gone up the most have not been things I needed yet, but I feel for my friends and neighbors who are being affected.

Do you spend more hours a week watching traditional entertainment or user generated content?

Way more time on new media.

Switched to YouTube from Cable like it so much better because of what we normally watch is programmed for us.

I'd say it's like 60/40 in favor of things like user generated content, but it has more to do with time than anything else. Due to things like work and chores, I just don't have time during the day for movies/TV. But for a few hours in the evening, I tend to watch more movies/TV, which I prefer.

This is one of those where I'm voting the honest truth, even though I'd prefer it be the other (while still making time for Geekvolution, of course). I think it's because of how casually I can spend hours on YouTube, as opposed to being intentional about catching up on content I intend to consume.
