She summarized this succinctly and powerfully.

I manage a big box store and we've literally gotten 3k price changes from home office over the past two weeks with 90% of prices going up again. Tinfoil has literally gone up six times this month!
-
Youโre not alone. I am retiring from walmart. Mostly due to the incompetence and hostility of store management & the Home Office towards the employees. The massive greed of the home office bled the employees of hours & wages. I saw the costs/sales ratios. Robbery used to be a crime.

I live in Tampa, Florida. Their ad comes out on Thursday. Tuesday, the price for gatorade zero was $5.46 for either an eight pack or twelve pack. Today? They were at $6.12 each. 2 days in the same week the prices are good for. A loaf of bread went from $4.49 to $5.19. Increased in 2 days.๐ฟ

This was always part of the plan,..create cheap labor. Want food? You do whatever they want you to do.

And yet so many Trump voters claimed they picked him because of the price of eggs.
Joke's on them. Between runaway bird flu and high feed prices, they'll be lucky to even find eggs in the stores soon.

Billionaires need a broke workforce they can take advantage of

Just wait until this fall when there's nothing to eat because nobody was harvesting anything this summer because #PresidentPedo deported the Farm Workers.

What she doesnโt mention is that all the money from Tarrifs ends up in Government accounts that Trump can use to pay for his ballrooms, personal golf trips, jet upgrades and Maralago hotel rooms for his staff and security.
The Tarrifs enrich Trump so he has no reason to reduce them

The "suck up economy" working as intended
Nothing to see here

People will be surprised to find out that lots of folks can in fact go on living like this.
Or more specifically, that they eventually just decide to accept that things are more expensive and start cutting back.
Things aren't gonna get cheaper or go backwards afterall.

This is the time to dump those unhealthy foods and start cooking real food like our grandparents did. There are many ways to make a quick, delicious and healthy meal for less money than the convenience foods. Once you learn how, you wonโt want to go back. Iโm happy to give some ideas to non-cooks.

Okay hear me out.....
I can remember feeling this way back when 1 subject spiral notebooks weren't 10 cents a piece, when the snack bags of chips went up from 25 cents/ 4 for $1 to 35 cents/3 for a dollar And again when gas went above $2 for the 1st time. I could see nothing was sustainable๐ฉ

Wages: โ 19% since 2020
Groceries: โ 135% Rent: โ 30โ50% (some areas โ) Car insurance: โ 20โ33% Electricity: โ 25โ40% Gas: โ 35โ60%
This is unsustainable.

Retirees are never going to be able to afford this. Itโs evident that this inflation is going to kill us and therefore save Social Security from going bankrupt. Itโs โtheirโ plan.

Trumponomics! Trumpflation! Trumpstagnation! Trumpstarvation! Trumpenslavement!
-
I appreciate this. Thanks for raising attention to it.

Thatโs what the BBB gets you! 4 Trillion โnew dollarsโ printed to compete with your hard earned dollars. Itโs called hyper inflation and its here to stay.
Why we should buy land with water, stocks with a ROTH, Cardano, tools, assets. Dollars are officially trash.
Thanks GOP!

The 4 pack of muffins at the local grocery store that was $3.99 as recently as 2023 is now $5.99, that's 50% inflation in 2 years! So much winning ๐

One of the costs of having Trumps cruelty, was keeping inflation. Evil has a price.
-
2/3 E.g fab planes & golfing away days & reducing taxes for wealthy cronies & himself & a massive gestapo enforcement agency. Didn't understand the effects of what he's doing or listen to experts who know. Instead of declining, inflation unmanageable. Americans did this to themselves.
-
1/3 If Biden's policies continued, inflation would have continued to decline & wages would slowly catch up. There's always a time lag. But US elected POTUS of inflationary obsessions: tariffs & mass removals of immigrant workers, while alienating US trading partners & expensive corruption (cont).
-
Walmart's stock price has almost doubled since the election too.

With Biden you got inflation. With Trump you get inflation and the end of democracy.

I know my groceries were 140 now 300 easily.

I went to buy ice cream and it was two dollars more this week than last week.

But according to trump billions of dollars are flowing into the U.S. because of those big beautiful tariffs.
Yet we normal non billionaire citizens know his fairytale story is a big ugly fucking lie.

I bet if she went back one more year to 2019 it'd breach 150%
-
..but does she (and others) relate it to the Trump administration, Thiel and Musk?
Life is less affordable while golden ballrooms are built, but MAGA allways blames someone else, like their fuhrer does

The music is about to stop in so far as the middle class may have to take two vacations per year instead of three. All of my siblings are middle class with white collar jobs. They are fine. They will continue to be fine. They are also unbothered that the low wage/poor/disabled/elderly are not fine.

Walked down the soda aisle yesterday, every 12 pack was โon sale,โ at $10.99 each. Took me a second to realize, โoh you mean $11 for 12 cans? Is this a bar?โ

Please chime in and repost! I'm skimping so hard myself... ๐ฃ

I spent $80 this week. Combined with my food pantry take,I have enough food for 10 days. After that, it's peanut butter, toast,eggs and cereal for the rest of the month. No fruit, no greens.

I bought the items for 3 nights worth it dinner, no left overs at all plus some topo Chico and a few snacks for my son while on summer vacation. $200. I live in SoCal. I thankful make enough that I am not literally finically destroyed by that but if it continues I will be.

Absolutely Astonishing and Correct โ Trump has unleashed the profiteering of all businesses

And microbrews are like $16 for a 6 pack. I remember buying them in college for $8. That's a doubling in price since 2011. #inflation

Werenโt prices supposed to come down on day one??? Anyone who actually believed that lie must have half a brain.

Wow! I have noticed that 12 seltzer water cans used to go on sale almost every week for 3/$8 or $10. Now one is $5.50. I stopped drinking seltzer water because of that.
-
For the real!! Almost $9 for A BOX OF CEREALโฆummmmโฆhow do all the voters who voted for the pedo because of the price of eggs feel now?
-
When Trump tariffs totally kick in the cost of those groceries will be double and maybe even more.

I've been screaming this for 5 years.
