source
The reason is one word: Biden! Don't lie about it. My God — liars all. Leftist cover BS>……
and yet the govt keeps giving out Subsidies in corporate welfare, the multitrillionaires are becoming even richer, The govt still borrows from the Fed Res (a pile of private bankers) instead creating its own money for the american people
Stop growing in your own place
This is all distraction. It's inflation tax and that's it. All this is spin.
Why
Because people want to own a billion dollar canned soup company
We are incapable of making the changes needed.
We will keep going until wheels fall off.
Potato chips. There's almost nothing in that air-inflated bag anymore.
Climate change LMFAO,the powers that shouldn’t be are killing the dollar,it’s called inflation
Let’s not forget about inflation
If I dont have food I'm going to go out and take some. If they catch me, they will put me in a place where I get fed. That's a win win.
What's going to happen to my wage? It's been about the same for 15 years.
Burn down the rain forest, sell wood, increase the cost of coffee, it's a win win. People keep wondering why they dont attempt to work against climate change? Because it's a win win for those doing it to us, and we are all too addicted to care. We are the livestock, companies and governments are the farmers.
I swear this is WEF propaganda the full video looks like a fcking WEF video. 😂
Nah we been noticed. With things like mints and chips chip bags shrank first then the price went up.
Because they want it to rise, they don’t want people to have money and wealth. The elite want to own everything. Its all part of “you will own nothing and be happy” its all pre-planned.
The shelves were fully stocked and prices were fine before January 2021. Let’s go Brandon!
So over people using "racism" or "climate change" as a way to blame the current circumstances on something besides the real point. Government overregulation. Also, NPR in December of 2019 reported that due to the tariffs on China and from China, they were NOT buying our meat from the packaging plants as much as before. Therefore, the meat packers around the country were almost close to filling up all their freezers with extra meat. Had that 100% capacity been reached, they would've had to dump meat onto the market at reduced rates (good for buyers). Two months later, covid, shutdown and then sky high meat prices because plants began to shut down. OK
Americans eat too much. Go to restaurants and see the huge portions served. Watch people having a picnic or doing take-outs – they eat far too much. And also too much stuff like chips, cookies, ice cream, etc.
and if any one person, government or country, think that they are god and can control the climate, they are delusional. There may be effects and cleaning up rivers, not polluting, etc is obviously good, but thinking that driving electric cars and using reusable bags will somehow cause the rain to fall in ways that will resemble back to "normal" , it's a fantasy. The world has changed, there is NO going back. Maybe that's for the best.
Walmart still has reasonable prices. Target prices are generally very high, even before the pandemic.
Some segments in the video are stamped not adjacent to each other
The federal government giving out more food stamps is part of reason this inflation is happening.
Sorry/not sorry but if i gotta shoplift then it is what it is.
It’s called inflation
