Inflation raising prices faster than some Bethesda restaurants can print new menus


Inflation is hitting hard in even wealthy areas like Bethesda, on everything from groceries to gasoline. Restaurants are not immune. Mamma Lucia has posted a sign at its 4916 Elm Street location to alert diners that inflation has caused the price of menu items to slightly increase. It says those higher prices are not yet reflected on their printed menu, and that newly-printed menus will be arriving in the near future, thanking diners for their support.

    Inflation was significantly slowing per the data reported on Friday. Restaurants are opportunistic. If this wasn't an issue for them 6 months ago, there is no reason it should be one for them now.

    Liberal apologists like 5:41 PM insist on using MSM talking points trying to save Brandon's administration from the real facts about inflation.

    Cause & Effects: Diesel fuel is at a historical high and predicted to go even higher by the end of the year. Liberals say; Why do I care because I drive an EV? Answer for the shortsighted: That EV along with your Starbucks coffee and virtually all menu items at EVERY SINGLE RESTAURANT are delivered from origin to processor to warehouse to distributors and many times directly to the restaurant by DIESEL TRUCK. Many items flown in to BWI and transferred by truck to the Maryland Food Center in Jessup for distribution, by truck, to area restaurants.

    Conclusion: Democrat policies continue to wreak havoc especially in the energy sector so while they're sipping $7 espressos and eating organic whatever flown in from California, in the real world people are suffering. November can't come soon enough.

    @2:59 Which Democrat policy is affecting world fuel prices?

    It's predominantly the Russian invasion of Ukraine that is causing it.

    Inability to objectively look at facts is the result of a liberal public education that focuses on everything except actual education.

    “I guarantee you", “We’re going to end fossil fuels.” Joe Biden - 9/16/2019

    Average price of regular gasoline on 1/20/2020 - $2.38

    1/27/2020 - Biden directed the Interior Department to stop oil and natural-gas leases on federal lands and in public waters.

    2/14/2021 - Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm. She previously said, “We ought to be doing everything we possibly can to keep fossil fuel energy in the ground.”

    9/23/2021 - Biden nominates Soviet-born and educated Saule Omarova as comptroller of the currency. She had said of oil and gas companies, “We want them to go bankrupt.” She also stated, “The way we basically get rid of those carbon financiers is we starve them of their sources of capital.” Drowning in controversy, Omarova eventually withdrew from consideration.

    1/31/2022 - Biden administration will raise the royalty rate that drilling companies must pay on oil and gas leases it plans to sell in the first quarter.

    2/24/2022 - RUSSIA INVADES UKRAINE. Average regular gasoline - $3.53

    Meanwhile Biden, with help from the Democrat controlled congress puts roadblock after roadblock up killing domestic production while begging Venezuela & Saudi Arabia to send more while depleting the SPR. Gasoline rose by almost 50% BEFORE the Russian invasion and has continued its steady climb up but since Brandon, along with the MSM, screams Putin, the liberal sheep are there to regurgitate the narrative. Seriously, democrats should take a peek outside their comfort zone once in awhile as there is a world of reality that your missing.

    When even an NBC opinion can't avoid certain facts you know the ship is sinking.
