    We did it. The price of food went from "not cheap" to "holy shit" and its still at "holy shit". We won.

    Now everybody needs to stop asking for those fucking raises.

        i saw the smallest boxes of the same type of cereal i used to eat as a kid at the grocery store today. $3.99 for a 7.9 oz box of count chocula which was on sale. Pretty sure when I was a kid the boxes were at least twice that size, probably more, and were cheaper by at least $1

      I'm just glad we didn't give everybody raises. These economists clearly were right when they said if everybody got a raise inflation would be insane.

      Instead we just had massive inflation at the same wages so everybody is fucked.

      It's still wild here in Europe too, cooking oil went from 2 to 6 dollars for a liter and only went down to like 5 recently. I haven't deep fried a single goddman thing in 3 years
