Food prices are heavily related to oil prices since chemicals and transport account for much of the cost of food.

Oil prices were unsustainably low. Biden’s anti-hydrocarbon policies caused oil and food prices to soar.

The millionaire couple had six security people in tow

They must be really paranoid. So it cost the tax payers $5,000 every time they go to the store.

Yellen: Is this the $1,000 or more aisle? I’m confused.
And this mayonnaise was $2.49 last time I shopped, maybe October,2020. Now it’s $7.19 and fewer ounces. And this little Fritos bag is the $6.99 the family bag used to cost. I’m going to ask for a pay raise. My $246,400 salary doesn’t go as far. I have to dip into my net worth assets. Until I go broke.

Note:
“Between 2018 and 2020, Yellen received over $7 million in speaking fees from financial companies such as Barclays, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and the hedge fund Citadel.”

From Wikipedia:
“Yellen has an estimated net worth of $20 million, accrued from stock holdings, speaking engagements, and various government and academic positions. Upon taking office as U.S. Treasury Secretary, she divested her shares including those in Pfizer, ConocoPhillips, and AT&T, among others.

Yellen inherited from her mother a collection of postage stamps worth between $15,000 and $50,000.She doesn’t collect them on her own.”

“The millionaire couple had six security people in tow”

When the nomenklatura goes shopping they have armed guards to protect themselves from the people they rob.

Why are we paying for this useless blumkin to have six armed guards?

And someone just happened to recognize her and be there to take a picture. Yeah, right.

This was staged.

As a low-income person, I’m certainly no expert, but restaurant food is expensive nowadays (especially from an online menu) and I have reason to believe Japanese restaurants are somewhat above average in pricing. Plus, the restaurant is in DC, so the prices probably should be considered reasonable.

She goes shopping. Well, she’s an elite very wealthy woman. So she doesn’t feel anything from increasing prices. It’s simply 1 drop on the bucket, or 2 with these people.

Hell, even *I* don’t go actual shopping. I select off a list of the things I want, usually buy, and just drive there, they load it into my car, and I drive home.

Also, limits impulse buying!

Yellen, 77, and her husband, economist George Akerlof, stopped by a Giant Food store in Washington, DC, after grabbing lunch at Japanese restaurant Raku.

Most Americans couldn't afford to buy a rice-ball at Raku's...
