BRANSON, MO — The cost of groceries has continued to rise, despite the Biden Administration's concerted effort to reduce inflation by printing money. In fact, prices have now increased to the point that a Payday Loan Center was seen setting up shop in the egg aisle of a local grocery store.
The store graciously made room for the new enterprise by throwing out all of the Beyond Meat™.
"Shout out to Joe Biden for providing much-needed employment for loan sharks like me," said Payday Loan Center franchisee, Dirk Greedsniffle, while lighting a Cuban cigar and flicking grocery dust off his bright blue pinstripe suit. "By wringing every penny out of vulnerable families, I'll be able to afford eggs myself!"
A young mother then approached the shiny, oak desk of Greedsniffle and took out a short-term loan with a reasonable 75% interest rate, compounded daily, then carefully placed a single egg in her shopping cart and, ever-so-gently proceeded to checkout.
At publishing time Republican lawmakers had proposed a bill aimed at helping working-class families who suffer from rampant inflation by providing Payday Loan Centers in every home.
Citing concerns about stiff competition from Amazon and an impossible-to-please Gen Z, Santa has announced he's hanging up the hat for good.
