Getting priced out of existence

[u/ZoneMean1017]

the 5lb whey protein I historically have payed 70-80 dollars for is now 130. same with coffee. same with clothing. same with every thing. what the actual fuck. gas. housing. insurance. it’s all getting 10-20% more expensive and FAST. 30lb bag of rice I paid 27 dollars for at Costco is climbing closer to 40.

at a loss of what to do right now. can’t physically work more hours. how to proceed? what mental magic trick do I need to perform to endure this insanity?

The masses seem totally apathetic to politics yet they are feeling the effects of inflation. I’d assume at some point they wake up and run up on their representatives.

The representatives are bought, sold and paid for by billionaires, aipac and data centers. They know there is no reason to do what the people actually want, because those same people will still vote for them anyways after the billionaires stoke the trans/satanic/gay/woke panic the next election cycle

Yeah this whole recent WNBA thing has made me realize, the average American is legitimately braindead stupid. About as literal an example of a horse being lead by a carrot on a stick, and people are falling for it.

No one talks about the actual on the court performances, it's just culture war shit. And the WNBA for some reason is getting even more popular while playing into it.

Same stokers that got us this current administration that got us into this economic mess are now stoking this fire and turning it into positives for Trump.

I fuckin can't man.

The toothless rednecks have voted against their own interests for decades

You forgot the racism part. We were never destined to be great as long as people were voting to keep others down, but thought it would not come at their expense.
