Groceries aren’t more expensive than they used to be: The value of our time —our very lives— has been significantly diminished. We should be asking by whom... Someone benefited.

Well, I understand your reasoning but groceries are actually more expensive compared to our spending abilities.

Inflation? Stagflation? Shrinkflation?

Salaries haven’t moved much in 20 years or more while everything around us becomes a struggle to afford.

In one view, at least people and families are trying to eat healthier and waste less.

“More than seven in 10 consumers (71%) are concerned that tariffs, geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions and other global events will continue increasing the cost of everyday goods over the next six months.”

A perfect example of why we need to grow our own food and stop importing foodstuffs (like beef). We have plenty of land for growing and raising animals, but the government and elites want to make us a global family. It also doesn’t help that land prices are skyrocketing with this BS of house shortages (not a shortage too many foreigners coming over) which has run many a family off their farms and ranches and prevent newcomers to the trade, coupled with asinine government regulations.
