This is what is known as the middle class squeeze. The WIC/food stamp class is insulated from this misery because the government is paying for it.
So these companies are free to gouge the cash paying middle and upper classes.
Formula has become an oligopoly of 3-4 companies (all owned by big pharma). Diapers are basicly a duopoly.
American mother says she can’t have a second kid, not because she doesn’t want one but because she can’t afford it
This mother bought one can of formula and one box of diapers. It was $92
“Who in the f*ck decided we could make diapers and formula, the 2 most needed things when you have a child, the most expensive things on this planet? These 3 things just costed me $92. Oh, you want me to start thinking about having a second kid? Simply how? How? I can't afford that. Abso-f*cking-lutely not”
I looked into this, over the last 10 years
- Diapers have increased 50%+ in price
- Baby Formula is up about 40%, sometimes way more if you want without seed oils
- A better brand can cost $52+ and only last about 5 days
We need to make having a baby much more affordable
Detroit is, moreso than DC, the capital of America. It is a pure distillation of our Republic; its golden age was our golden age, its problems are our problems. Its tragic fall is ours. Those who cared enough to salvage it are the best of us. We win when Detroit is great again.
@JackPosobiec@JoshuaLisec Massie massively out performed Cassidy and Raffebsperger. The latter 2 stood for nothing. Massies points of disagreement with Trump clearly animate a significant part of the base.
