Inflation.
Tariffs.
“Jim Crow 2.0.”
And somehow… Cracker Jack prizes.
Welcome to another episode of Seasoned & Unfiltered, where we look at the numbers, ask the obvious questions, and occasionally wander into pinball machines and Casey Kasem.
This week:
Is inflation actually going up — or are we just being told it is?
What do the Consumer Price Index numbers really say?
Did prices spike under Biden?
Is Trump lowering inflation — or just getting blamed anyway?
And how exactly did requiring photo ID to vote become “Jim Crow 2.0”?
Also — when did Cracker Jacks stop putting actual toys in the box? That’s the real crisis.
We break down:
Inflation rates from 2021–2026
Consumer Price Index changes
Gas prices vs. grocery prices
The Save America Act and voter ID debate
What 83% of Americans actually think about voter ID
Party lines, cassette tapes, America’s Top 40
And why pinball for a dime was peak civilization
No yelling.
No corporate talking points.
Just numbers, common sense, and a little nostalgia.
If you’re tired of the finger-pointing and just want someone to walk through the facts — and maybe reminisce about when prizes were real prizes — this one’s for you.
