Just a basic simple grocery store trip is now crazy expensive! Where the hell is the money going?? Just basic, very cheap stuff like lentils is now more expensive than it was just a year ago. Chicken, beef, even produce has gotten more expensive.
Forget about ever getting a cheap low-budget lunch at a small restaurant now. That's gone. Even just chicken soup is way more expensive than it used to be.
Even canned stuff is more expensive. Canned soup used to be really cheap. Now, you have to make sure to only buy it when it's on sale.
What the hell is going on?
What on earth did this idiot Biden do?
Gas prices, paris climate fees, inflation probably, its just gonna get worse.
Maybe that's why all the criminal activity?
economic downturn and crime go hand in hand.
It's the result of injecting a bunch of fake money into the system and handing it out. The poor does get any richer and the middle class gets poorer.
I'm not even middle-class by any shot. And can confirm, I'm definitely not any richer.
Well, there was this fake election about 5 months ago, then......💥
I notice how all frozen foods are injected with water to swell the food, increase the weight. You get about half what you paid for. Those sneaky water absorbant pads at the bottom of the tray, sometimes weigh a pound or so.
This guy gets it. Yup, exactly. What's going on with frozen foods and refrigerated meats is a total travesty.

Lolol no. But this is just really striking. It's like you have to be super vigilant all the time now just to go to the grocery store.
It's amazing how quickly a country can go from practically free food to standing in bread lines.
When was the food practically free? Although yeah there was a time when fast food places were really really cheap. You could get a burger and fries and a drink and a side for like 6 bucks with tax. Subway used to be cheap and good too.
When you have to be well under the poverty line for food to make up a significant percentage of your income, it's practically free.
It's definitely not "practically free" now lol.
And if we keep it up much longer, it will soon become priceless.
We got homeless people who are fat. Food gotta be free.
Hell, we got people who claim they're poor or broke but are fat!
If the food isn't free, how the hell can you afford to eat enough to get fat?
I don't think this is about demand from free money at all. Retail prices on staples do not work like that at all. These are commodities like grains and meats.
All that free money is going towards paying bills and paying off debts like overdue utilities and rent. Any money left over would go towards discretionary purchases like video games and consoles, not chicken or rice or lentils.
And if anything, restaurants are highly incentivized to lower their prices now, not raise them staggeringly high on basics.
Restaurants are raising prices because they are barely holding on. I’ve noticed lots of places with a surcharge on every bill due to the lockdowns. Not to mention, prices are going up for food staples and fuel. I’m sure Uber and Lyft drivers are feeling it because gas comes out of their pocket. Uber and Lyft have also started charging a surcharge because of AB5 (I’m in California) requiring those companies to provide benefits to their drivers.
I’ve also heard that the cost of insurance has gone up as well in Democrat cities due to the rioting , looting and burning down businesses and the billions in damages.
You're completely ignoring the supply chain for commodities. As I said earlier, this is not exclusively about demand.
Joe Biden's America.
Sure seems like it. This has all gotten worse under him.
Oh no, potato isnt the brains behind this operation. Same people Obama was fellating, they got cocky nd thought hillary was gonna win and it just set them back a bit.
Yeah potato is the front.
Inflation and supply chain delay.
Gas is up too for same reasons.
Cant get out of equites completely, but get that palladium, gold and silver.
Inflation is too much money chasing too few goods and services.
Joe would say he got you $1400 that should make it all better.
Yeah. And that money for anyone making less than $100K will go towards paying overdue utility bills and rent i.e: existing debts.
One reason is people can use welfare to pay for hot or precooked food now.
When gas goes up, everything goes up.
One of many switches being flipped right now to kill off the middle class.
Restaurants run on a razor thin margin. If you cut capacity, they have to raise prices a bunch to stay green.
We've done nothing but print money for a year. You're paying the same, it's just your dollars are worth less.
It's going to get MUCH MUCH worse
I work retail grocery. It's not just prices going up, the products are shrinking. Smaller portions/packaging. That type of thing. I watched a video on inflation and this exact thing was described.
I've also noticed that products that have people on them are being changed as well. Kind of like that new coke slogan... If you know what I mean.
This is exactly what I'm talking about. These weird, crazy price increases on staple foods and prepared foods made from staples. It's insane. These are all food commodities. And their prices are steadily going up and no one seems to care.
Oh yes they care... they are doing it on purpose
What is the desired outcome?
Control/power. The endless printing of money enriches those closest to the the money spigot -> politicians, bankers, government contractors to the detriment of everyone else In society.
It’s one way to institute socialism/communism
Eat the bugs
Democrats. The apparent kryptonite to everything good.
Inflation. It’s what happens when you expand the money supply by 40% in less than a year
