america isn’t even dealing with the actual consequences of the ukraine war and my fucking rent still went up like 20% and I want my landlords to fucking die
I just got a 40% pay increase woops there goes all that, fuckers
This seems… oddly low to me? Here in 'murica prices at my local grocery store (miraculously in walking distance so it’s the only one I’ll go to) have risen by around 30% or more over the last year.
I’ve noticed a new supermarket chain popping up where they only have stuff that doesn’t require refrigeration which is really expensive to run especially now with energy prices being out of control. So as consumers you don’t get any dairy or meat or frozen vegetables or anything like that but you get the rest a little bit cheaper than other places.
It’s the typical capitalist solution, instead of addressing the real issues of price gouging and self-sanctioning they cut stone corners and makes everything a little bit shittier for everybody else.
