For those of you that are regulars at Kinnick

Well it was a dumb comment especially considering the US has the least inflation of any rich country in the world.

We do? Hate to buy a loaf of bread in Germany then.

We do. The current Fed and the Biden admin has done a fantastic job with curbing inflation in comparison to the rest of the world.

What happened to the pre-game newspapers that were handed out on the corner by Stella's? Haven't seen them in a couple of years. TIA and Go Hawks

They all fell down in the knot hole section bleachers.

I thought you were going to ask what happened in the pre-game. It looked like somebody in the control booth hit Back in Black a little too soon. The song played for about 20-30 seconds and the big screen was just a shot of the locker room door. Eventually it opened and the team came out. Is it really that hard to find somebody who can do their f***ing job right?

We took that as a missing man formation type thing because Kirk was not there they just let it roll a bit since he wasn't there to lead them out and then they came out about a minute into the song. Seth was not out front like Kirk always is during that.

It's not spin. It's fact. Look up the numbers yourself for developed countries inflation levels.

I believe you but there is no one happy with the current prices of absolutely everything.

I hear you. Inflation happens from time to time, especially when we have world events like covid happen. I've talked to a lot of visiting europeans in the past year who are jealous of our 'modest' inflation in comparison to their own inflation. I know it's tough out there for many people, but try to remember it could be a lot worse.

I own two shops in northern NJ and, I've seen some of our vendors lowering their prices, fyi. The supply chain issues were hard for vendors so they raised their prices and perhaps raised them a bit too much. Perhaps that gives some hope moving forward that prices, in some cases, will be dropping or at the very least holding where they are now.

If you're talking about the ones that the Daily Iowan does, I'm pretty sure that I saw them in one of the DI newspaper machines on campus.

There were two girls walking through the parking lot around the Marriott handing out copies.

^This. I grabbed one in the hotel parking lot from a DI gal who was handing them out. Always good to have a roster handy, especially at the season opener.
