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 didnโt get the memo.
135% increase in six years and nobody in Washington has missed a single meal.
โJust so you know, agriculture uses more water than data centres and golf courses combined.โ
Yes, but we have to eat. We donโt have to use AI or play golf. This is a useless argument.
Couldnโt justify paying $15 for a burger so I bought $67 worth of ingredients to make it at home and now have a sink full of dishesโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ

Not even an exaggeration when I say that all sanitation workers should be paid an insane amount of money. The risks they take to keep our cities free from filth and disease??
