Inflation has gotten out of control. Yesterday I was in El Pollo Loco and the Original Pollo Bowl combo shot up from $5 to $7.89! That's Wiemar Germany levels of fast food inflation.

Inflation's been pretty stable, I suppose they are just siezing this chance to catch up and raise prices to a more realistic level.


We get massive meals for dirt cheap. It's not gonna last like that. Jusf be thankful you'll still be getting a shitton of food for slightly less dirt cheap.

Because the prices have inflated there even more.

Tacos used to be only $1 at local taco trucks. Now they are $1.50. they even used to have 2 for $1 taco Tuesdays, which they no longer have. A burrito at a taco truck costs $5- when it used to only be $3.00 - 3.50..

$5 is a lot of money to pay for just a burrito from a truck, and no restaurant with refills and air conditioning to sit down inside. That's half the money I make in an hour.

What's worse is the Fed is lying to everyone that inflation is super low. Obummer quadrupled the money supply, now we get to see the effect. Inb4 QE money is low velocity and wasn't supposed to move out of reinflated home/stock markets. Clearly not the case.

Although tortillas and hard shells shouldn't be compared together.. flour tortillas are really popular when it comes to cow meat tacos

Also to get more specific and looks like that webm has beef ribs, beef brisket, pulled pork which is the one he pulls apart with his hands, some sort of smoked sausage, and maybe some sort of chicken or something but I'm not really sure about the last one.

True it's more fast foody than KT.

Although all the Del Taco's where I live went under because there wasn't enough Mexicans and the people had never heard of it.
>>
>>131305609
Smoked brisket, smoked short ribs, pulled pork, smoked sausage, it's hard to tell what the last meat is but it looks like smoked chicken breast, although it moves freely, so it could also be a smoked pork loin. The side dishes are mashed potato salad, cole slaw, southwestern black bean and corn salad. The sauces are most likely made using the typical bbq sauce as a base.

They're a good size, but I've had other places that have the same size nachos for $5. The prices started going up about 2 years ago. They put a notice up that said prices on carne asada items would be going up because of a beef shortage. The price ended up going up on everything. Taquerias used to be for poor spics. Now it's more expensive than any other fast food place.

Its not inflation. Its shareholders wanting to see that quarterly green at the bottom right hand of the spreadsheet.

KCRA is a local TV channel owned by Hearst Communications. They told Dish Network that they wanted more money for Dish to take the KCRA signal in through the over the air signal that they produce for free. Dish did not want to pay more money because it would mean asking subscribers for more money. They had to turn off KCRA because by law Hearst Communications can say what happens to the free over the air signal. People could still get this signal if they had an antenna themselves but most TVs do not support both cable and over the air modes. The blackout going on for 2 months until Dish caved and now subscribers have to pay $4 extra each for the same fucking thing. Hearst Communications does nothing new with the signal they just put it out like they normally do. They just decided they wanted more money because they are required by their shareholders to get more money even if it means just raising the prices for something they only control.

Welcome to Capitalism.

Yo soy delgado, pero a lo que me refería es que el guisquil, pipianes y la zanahoria le dan un sabor dulce a la sopa de res.

Papas nunca he visto que le pongan, ya que la comemos con tortilla.

Entiendo, el secreto esta en no cocinar mucho los vegetales para que las proteínas de la calabacita, zanahoria.y chayote no se conviertan en azucares, de hecho nunca he percibido alguna clase de sabor azucarado en ese caldo, solo resalta muy ligeramente el sabor azucarado de la zanahoria.
