A buggy full? Wow, high roller!
We've stopped using carts. What you can carry is it. We call it the democratic diet.

I think, like everything, they pick their metrics to make sure it tells the story they want.

They say inflation is down, but certainly not compared to 2019. Even if the price of bulk items is down, the two main places the average American sees inflation is at the gas pump and the grocery store. Gas isn’t terrible, but groceries are still way high.

I usually shop at greers. Aldi's has the cheapest staples like eggs, bread, milk

When I splurge and want Publix fried chicken, I swear I'm walking out with a $200 bill every time.

I have given up on most fast food due to shrinkflation. Had my fill this week with subway. Over $40 for 3 subs and they were very skinny compared to before.

100$ to fill my truck. My card cut the pump off, luckily the handle was clicking.
Did I miss the station with $2.00 gas?? At least it's a gas burner. Not a diesel. Yikes.

Gas prices may not be over four dollars a gallon here right now, but at three dollars a gallon currently they are still up 50% from Trumps last days in office

inflation

Inflation is a tax that government controls... it's just not called a tax, so that the government can do it all they want. Taxation without representation, voting or our general agreement is theft. Inflation is theft. If you're not mad as hell about it by now, then you're not paying attention

Never forget that predictive programming said that the post apocalyptic Taco Bell will win the franchise war

Hell, it's an international food restaurant isn't it? Must be pretty high class!

Yeah! Just like Demolition Man!

And if you are broke you get a rat burger

Karl Marx was an ideological parasite and a professional unemployed person. Having an excellent education and a good mind, he never worked seriously anywhere in his life. Although he wrote a lot about the proletariat, he himself did not belong to them. Having the status of a journalist, philosopher, scientist, he was not really any of them.
While he was writing philosophical and political books and articles for communist magazines, at the same time he wrote plaintive letters to Friedrich Engels where he complained about his poverty, wrote that his children ate bread and water, that he had nothing to pay for housing, that there was no money for medicine, etc.
F. Engels, who was a friend of Marx, and part-time "golden youth" and the ungrateful son of his father - the richest capitalist and industrialist of Germany Friedrich Engels Sr., had to support Marx's impoverished family.
Karl Marx died in poverty.
But what ideas there were - not to work and live at the expense of plundering the wealth of capitalists.
Socialism is not an idea of social equality, it is an ideology of universal poverty.
