I’m not saying this is always the case, but the fact that it’s the case at all is fucking insane.

    If you ever use a grocery app to order for pickup a really painful activity is going back a year or more and hitting "re-order" and comparing the totals.

    It really puts the single digit inflation numbers into perspective. My groceries almost doubled in price but yeah inflation is only 5% or whatever

      Yea it's really telling that the super serious government entities have decided to exclude housing and food from inflation numbers.

      Deeply unserious country.

      If you don't count the money I spent on pot and booze I'm the most fiscally responsible motherfucker in town.
