BOOMER: “Nobody wants to work anymore.”
ME: “The warehouse nearby pays $18/hour.”
BOOMER: “That’s decent.”
ME: “Average rent is $2,200.”
BOOMER: “Get a roommate.”

My wife and I were talking last night about groceries.
I went back into my Walmart app and pulled up an order from January 2020.
30 items. $70.20.
I added every single one back to the cart today.
$165.42.
Same 30 items. Same store. Same cart.
$95 more, In six years.
They told us inflation was temporary. They told us it was under control. They told us the economy was recovering.
My grocery bill didn’t get the memo.
135% increase in six years and nobody in Washington has missed a single meal.
