The news media and government downplay the effect of inflation in America. In this video, several real-world examples are provided that show how prices have changed from 2020 compared to 2024.
These examples are merely a random sampling of what Americans face every day. Beyond food – necessities such as fuel and housing have also skyrocketed. While many are frustrated it seems that many have adapted and simply accepted this “new normal.” I find this incredibly frustrating.
I know many of us are fed up with the actions of our government. Their policies and corrupt actions continue to wastefully spend tax dollars in many ways the people do not support.
I digress. The video below shows several random inflation examples.
Please consider sharing this video with like-minded folks and also comment on how inflation has impacted you and your family.
Take care all –

Welcome to A Survival Story. What follows is a fictional daily journal written by "Jed". Jed is a 39-year-old man who lives in the small city of Rock Hill, South Carolina. Jed recently started thinking about his life and the mistakes he has made. He has decided to start keeping a journal to organize his thoughts and try to understand not only where he has been but where his life is going. Jed begins this journal at a time in his life when he is considering whether he will ever meet "the one" and has just scheduled a trip to attend his 20-year high school reunion.
Jed is relatively physically fit as he has been working out with weights, takes martial arts, and rides his mountain bike periodically on some light trails. He would like to lose about 15-20 pounds but is not overly concerned about it. Jed is 5' 10" tall and 205 pounds with very short brown hair. Both his parents have passed and his younger brother Eric moved in with him a couple months ago. Jed has always felt the need to care for his brother since his parents are no longer around. He has been an active survivalist for the last several years - especially since 9/11. He has stocked up on a lot of supplies with an emphasis on the basics of "beans, bullets, and band-aids". The few people that know of Jed's concern for the future dismiss his "prepping" as a hobby and a fad. Jed takes it seriously, however, he is not fanatical about it and enjoys many of life's comforts like anyone else. Jed recently purchased a 2011 black Jeep Wrangler 4-door - a rare splurge for himself.
See how Jed and his community deal with multiple attacks across the United States. Here we begin....... a survival story.
