squidward just told me a hilarious joke and i thought you might like to hear it.

@Mr_NutterButter @matrix this is the same guy who got his "cylinder" stuck in a tube and was wondering how to get it out without potential damage to the "cylinder"

@TornadoOfTerror @GrungeQueef @zero from my experience, autists seem to like it as well.

after tasting simply orange i can't ever go back to this gross shit.

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas, spending time with your loved ones even though it may have been a little stressful for all of it to come together!

I am so incredibly blessed to have the relationships in my life that I do. Don't take yours for granted!

Let them proof til twice the size
With angelic yeast proclaim
Christ is born in Breadlehem 🎶

@LukeAlmighty part of it is that, but you would think that people selling more expensive stuff would want to continue making the same profit margin lest they see a slow down in revenue, or their brand being seen as cheap, etc. The only reason to think they wouldn't do this is that they care about the customer's purchasing power in these trying times, but knowing modern day capitalism that's completely false. You have shit like rings of power xD

A decent example of the other side of the spectrum is Dollar Tree turning into $1.25 Tree. It's not really because of inflation, although that certainly is part of it. The real reason is that absolutely nobody wanted to work for them because they paid minimum wage. They were shutting down stores all the time because there weren't enough workers. The price increase of their goods (that only require pennies to produce) was mainly so that they could pay workers more so that it would be more enticing to get a job there, which doubles as a way to hire people who aren't retarded, felons, or both.

I can see a big reason for prices on cheap things rising being the cost of gasoline, actually. Diesel is at record highs right now and much of the world is facing a (completely self-inflicted) energy crisis. That will increase the cost of shipping for sure so it'll be included in the price of the product. It doesn't cost more to ship an expensive item versus a cheap item as long as they're of the same relative size/weight.
