Well don't be to shocked by these prices. It's going to cost that much for all of us in a little while and our paychecks won't be adjusted for inflation. This is what happens when we have a private central bank (federal reserve) printing trillions of dollars out of thin air. If you don't believe things will cost that much, look at the price of gold. In 2003 gold was $300 an ounce. It is now $1600 and rising. Gold doesn't fluctuate much in value, it's the value of the dollar that is changing.
@withtheoldbreed Actually it's rampant speculation driving the price of gold up, no? Look what happened with real estate prices during the boom. Prices didn't skyrocket because the value of the dollar decreased; they increased because of speculation -- too many people and companies trying to make a quick buck. Unfortunately, busts follow booms, and that's likely to happen with the wildly inflated price of gold, too.
@TemperateFloridian Actually it is rising because of a lack of confidence in the dollar. How do you think the Fed makes the interest rate 1%? They don't just declare it at that, they have to increase liquitidy and credit to do that. Look at the value of the dollar since 1913. It is down 97%. It is down 30% since 2000. We have 15 trillion in debt, last Monday our debt hit 100% of GDP. If interest rates go up to 20% like they did in the 80s the interest will be more than all tax revenue..
@withtheoldbreed We already saw the bust of gold when it reached 1900 and then dropped to 1500. That was the speculation. Now it is back up to 1700 and it will continue to rise, so long as our government continues to command the economy into the ground.
@withtheoldbreed Agreed, the speculation is in large part due to the lack of confidence (let's call it "fear") you cited. We can say that lack of confidence is driving the price of gold up, but that doesn't mean that it's rational or that the price of gold won't crash just as the price of homes did when people finally woke up and realized, hey, these prices are nuts. And just as with the housing bubble, there are plenty of people driving the gold hysteria because they stand to profit from it.
@TemperateFloridian Is their not a valid reason to fear? As paper money becomes increasingly diluted, gold reciprocates accordingly, increasing its value in dollar terms. I don't even see how it is possible to compare gold to the housing bubble. The housing bubble was facilitated by the easy credit from the Fed. The government encourages the production of houses and still is. You can't manufacture gold, unlike the millions of new, vacant homes scattered all over this nation.
@TemperateFloridian Also if gold were such a bubble, why are their businesses all over the place that buy gold? The average American is selling gold, not buying, and even despite that, gold is still rising. I remember when I bought my gold at $300 an ounce and people were calling it a bubble... Hmm. I wouldn't be worried about gold, unless it was going up $100 a day. At that point it would either be a bubble, or hyperinflation. We could tell if it was from hyperinflation.
To say the dollar is down 97% since 1913 sounds scary. It's true, but we have to keep in mind that even a normal rate of inflation, compounded over a century, can make scary sounding numbers if taken out of context. That said, though, even your stat supports the hypothesis that gold is way overvalued. The ounce of gold in a 1913 $20 piece was worth $20. That $20 could buy $460 worth of goods now. But the ounce of gold is now at $1700! So the speculative bubble is actually about $1200/oz.
@TemperateFloridian So you believe our massive debt will create a deflationary depression which will lead to gold falling in value? In my opinion If gold goes down I'll still be fine, because the only way that can happen is if the economy improves, and the value of my dollar goes up. Either way i'm golden
I live in Phoenix, Arizona. Weather here is wonderful. Prices are very low, and so is the cost of living. You can grow anything here too, even Brazilian Papayas.
Only thing is that it is hot AS HELL here! My area reaches 130*F!
I'd still rather be here in the desert than to freeze my ass off in the Arctic. Can't even ride up there. I really feel sorry for anyone forced to live there. A month's grocery budget there would pay for a plane ticket to PHX. Do away with that 71*N. Come down to 33*N.
@jityr2 If you have a well, water is free. Here in Phoenix, an average water bill is about $30 per month for a large family. Everything is cheap here, even gasoline.
@B0eing1992 As of this moment, yes. I was at Circle K yesterday, and it was $3.02 per gallon. I live in unincorporated Peoria, so it may be cheaper out here.
buying local - not only better for your wallet but the environment as well! You know how many greenhouse gases are used in shipping that stuff thousands of miles away. Eat corn and beans in Mexico, rice and soy in asia, polar bear and fish in the arctic!
@Coke315636 Polar bears are endangered. They are not allowed to be hunted.
Whales are often hunted by the natives, and, of course, there is an abundant supply of fish. I don't know about you, but I'd get awfully tired of eating fish every day. As for greenhouse gases, please. They burn more in heating oil than what is expelled in shipments. As for shipping, your best bet is to do away with shipping groceries to the Arctic. Instead, ship yourself OUT of the Arctic.
I think that the government should subsidise the price of groceries so you dont have to pay so much! I guess I will just stay here in warm Chicago! Well, warmer, not always warm!
@groundhog2008 would you pay me 300$ a week form your private income so i could buy my dreamed 6pack of beer, crips and bloody steak? If yes, just let me know :)
Nunavut is even worse.... they pay $15 for 4L of milk and paper towels are like $48. Everyone up there relies on processed food being shipped in by plane b/c a microwave dinner in a box is only $7-8 while an apple is like $9..... Northern, Northmart, AC Value Centre, Arctic Grocery, Arctic Coast Trading Post are the 5 most expensive grocery stores i know of.
@Bigblackbear17 Yeah I spent a summer in iqaluit sheesh lucky my family has money but for most people there they dont have as much money plus the food is the most expensive in north america so yeah
@iFr4ntiK You live in Barrow? I saw one guy in Barrow that made 20 dollars an hour at a grocery store in Barrow.. I would imagine specialized oil-field workers would be paid nearly twice that.
I'm glad here in Ohio I bought milk today for $2.87, bread .75 cents, eggs $1.35, cereal $1.50 and chips for $2.00. I couldn't imagine paying that much for that food. How much is min. wage up there?
Geez I thought $7.00 for milk was bad in Fairbanks. I stayed in Alaska last summer and I thought the prices I saw were really high. I don't think they were this high though.
Had a tour up to Barrow from Fairbanks last year in August 2009. Spent about three hours in town then flew back. Was an expensive tour, about $750.00! I don't know if I'd like to be living on an ice cube in a freezer though.
A bit reminds me of Europe. In Denmark or Norway a hot dog will cost like eight bucks. In Denmark and Sweden it costs like $50 to cross a bridge. Gas for $4.25 per gallon that's still cheap by Euro standards. It costs $6 or more per gallon in Europe where gas sells for 1.2 Euro per litre(per quart) or $1.50 per quart. And not to mention in the EU every country has like a 20% national sales tax or VAT value added tax on all wholesale and retail goods plus all services. USA still is sane.
fuck all that, thats why i like living within the other 48 states. my guess would be that the average wages up their are higher than anywhere else in the states.
O______O Holy Alaskan yeti! Thats insane..I mean I live in Alaska and Its noting like that where I live! Note to self: When going to Barrow bring food from home >.<
i've lived here all my life. theres no road leading in/out of barrow, everything has to be shipped up here through plane. the prices are so high because they include cost of shipping/handling and to make some sort of money off the products they sell. and for the record. on sale 12 pack of soda is 9.50 a gallon lol. gas prices are 4.25 a gallon. and if you only use your vehicle to get to and from work you only need to go to the gas station once a week. ^_^
@Flomounier1 ur slow... LOS ANGELES IS A MAJOR CITY.... barrow alaska is the northern most point of north america. it is 300+ miles ABOVE the arctic circle... they pay extra to get that shit up to them
fuckin retard, compare the north pole to fuckin los angeles lmaooo
Um... its so expensive because they have to compensate for fuel cost to get it there. Barrow is the most northern city in the United States. The snow storms and weather they have make it harder to get in fresh product so they have 2 charge so much to compensate for expenses!
wow! I wonder what the gas prices are in barrow? How much is a meal in barrow at a restaurant? The good thing is that Im sure that a tank of gas lasts like a year because it's only a couple miles from one end of barrow to the other.
Oh and I wanna have a second house in barrow it's cold but fun to visit!
not sure I can answer that with 100% confidence, but it is still pretty expensive when you have to fly most of the stuff in (cargo ships only make it in August) - and anything perishable has to be handled carefully. USPS doesn't get most of the stuff to Barrow - Alaskan cargo companies do most of the shipping as far as i'm aware.
In another video, the woman passenger said gas was nearly $5.00 a gallon. Actually, these prices seem almost reasonable since everything has so far to get there, you know, like on the west coast way of life, gotta get over those Rocky Mountains!
It's about $9 or $10 US. We pay about one dollar more per gallon than the lower 48 cities on the road system, but it's far more in Bush Alaska (off the road system).
AC is pretty bad, but The Bay in Iqaluit is worse. Its 15. for a gallon of milk in Iqaluit now :s. But at least natural gas is cheap in Barrow. In Kotz my friends have to pay a 800 dollar heating bill because the town dosnt have the gas pipeline like barrow.
yeah, the gas pipeline in barrow is a great advantage. I've been in Iqaluit once ... (passing through on my way to Alert, Canada) ... back in 2000 ... didn't get to see the milk prices though. Wow ... !
