    According to these comments there exists some fairy lands untouched by inflation and food deserts don’t exist, it’s just those damn millennials and their avocados again… 🙄🤦‍♀️

    The kind of privilege that enables for that level of detachment (within the working class) is already obscene, but then using it to literally claim other peoples’ reality simply doesn’t exist is just so fucking gross…

    Maybe people should just be thankful they’ve magically managed to escape the global inflation and all the rest of the bullshit companies are pulling to charge more for less, instead of calling people less fortunate than them, liars.

      some people are less fortunate.

      some of them are just idiots who can’t budget. when my friend who makes 50% of what I do, and spends twice what I do on groceries, complains about groceries prices and COL. he’s just kind of a cunt. his habit of 20/lb cheese that is now 30/lb is nobody’s problem but his own.

        Being an idiot in that situation is true, but in your example is also true that the item he was buying has gone up 50% in price. It doesn’t matter that the item is extravagant, it still has gone up significantly. That’s pretty much across the board with food.
