US inflation eased last month in the first slowdown of 2024
"Led by lower food and auto prices, inflation in the United States cooled slightly last month after three elevated readings, likely offering a tentative sigh of relief for officials at the Federal Reserve as well as President Joe Biden’s re-election team."
IMO & WHAT I SEE WITH MY OWN 2 EYES ~ ELECTRICITY... FUEL... LABOR... MOST FOODS ... ESSENTIALS, ETC., HAVEN'T MOVED LOWER, LONG TERM. WE NEED REAL PEOPLE IN THE POSITION OF SAYING WHEN INFLATION ISN'T HURTING.... NOT THE WEALTHY THAT HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IT MEANS TO NON WEALTHY.
EVEN MCDONALDS IS LOWERING THEIR JUNK FOOD PRICES TO GET MORE BUSINESS...
OUT OF CURIOSITY, I GOT AN ESTIMATE FOR HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST ME TO HIRE SOMEONE TO MOW & TRIM MY 4 ACRES. USING MY EQUIPMENT & GAS, IT WOULD COST $200.00 PER MOW & TRIM. LOL THERE ARE A LOT OF TIMES WHEN IT NEEDS MOWED TWICE A WEEK ~ (SOMETIMES 3 MOWS)...TO KEEP IT IN THAT "GOLF GREENS" STYLE. LOL
Hey Jean,
Nice property! Does it give you lots of privacy?
But a pain to mow. Imho, $200 for 4 acres including trimming doesn’t seem high to me. Here it costs ~$70 for a home with limited trimming on just 1/10 of that acreage though with their equipment/gas.
That is an extremely nice, well kept property, Jean!
You can blame the increased frequency of moving on climate change.
DEAD SERIOUS!
Not sure what kind of grass you have there, Jean:

LARRY... THANKS...I'VE GOT PLENTY OF PRIVACY. HINDSIGHT, THO'. I SHOULDA BOUGHT THE ENTIRE 40 ACRES, INSTEAD OF MY 5, IN 1973.
I LOVE OUTSIDE "WORK". IT'S NOT WORK, IMO. IT'S TENDING THE GOOD LORDS' CREATION. NOT ONLY DO I KEEP THIS PRISTINE AS POSSIBLE... I HAD MY OWN LAWN SERVICE FOR 15 YEARS (25 LAWNS...(ALL BY WORD OF MOUTH...NO ADVERTISING NEEDED)... PLUS I CONTRACTED THE 5 CEMETERIES IN MY TOWNSHIP. PLUS I WORKED A FULL TIME JOB WITH LOADS OF OVERTIME. ( LOL I EVENTUALLY HAD TO CUT THE HEADLIGHT WIRES ON MY RIDER, 'CAUSE I'D BE MOWIN' MY OWN, AFTER DARK. HAHAHAHAAA I GOT TOO OLD TO KEEP UP & GAVE UP THE CEMETERIES.)
POST STROKE, I CAN'T KEEP UP WITH MY OWN, ANYMORE. ONE GOOD LEG & ONE GOOD ARM DON'T ALLOW FOR MUCH OF ANYTHING, PHYSICAL. I CARRY MY CELL PHONE WITH ME WHEN I MOW, IN CASE I FALL OFF THE RIDER... I HAVE ALMOST ZILCH FOR BALANCE. I GO VERY SLOWLY AROUND THE POND. I OFTEN WONDER IF I COULD EVEN FLOAT~I KNDA DOUBT IT WITH A 1/2 BODY AT DEAD WEIGHT. HOPEFULLY, I'LL NOT FIND OUT. LOL
