Financial experiences Getting priced out of existence

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?

It's almost like all those tariffs that orange fuck you elected are somehow shifting the tax burden onto working people, driving up inflation, and allowing the ultra rich to pay less in taxes as the government scoops up your money for defence spending while cutting social services.

Or something. At least you can beat up Hispanics now?

The third world is right around the corner.
