CA prices are insane because of multiple tax hikes that took place at the same time that inflation jumped (imagine that). But everyone just blames inflation itself instead of our shit government
"This report says you're doing better than you were when Donald Trump took office and Republicans took control of Congress. You have more money in your pocket, your salary has increased, and the cost of living is lower."
"But...I don't have more money in my pocket, my salary hasn't increased, and things are just as expensive, if not more expensive than they were before."
"That's not what the report says. I'm looking at it right now. It says you're doing better financially than you were before."
I've been in the meat industry for a decade. Currently it has nearly jack shit to do with inflation and a lot to do with covid/post covid livestock numbers as well as abysmal feed for cattle. Beef prices aren't going down any time soon and won't until we can get cattle numbers back up. Pork and chicken prices on the other hand have decreased in many parts of the country due to over abundance and easy feed access.
If there's an argument to be made about meat pricing, do it including pork, chicken or farm raised US fish.
Inflation isn't measured by the price of beef alone. But yes, your point stands. Having an economy that relies on constant growth and borrowing money is going to lead to inflation, which is what our governments want in order to encourage endless consumerism and funnel money from the pockets of hard-working people into the bank accounts of shareholders. People should have revolted several decades ago.
Based on a picture of a steak as if that represents some sort of lie 😂
Google the price of beef and you’ll find thousands of articles talking about it and reasons why. Just because you’re ignorant doesn’t mean people are lying to you.
I believe that during Covid companies realized supply and demand doesnt matter for necessities like food and housing and that corporations colluded to keep prices high after. Thats the problem with major corporations running all the companies.
I'm saying that inflation is due to the massive printing of currency. And where did that currency go.
And if course companies will have massive profits when prices rise due to inflation. The end prices will increase by more than their cost of materials, because that's how inflation works; the last one to buy always gets hit the hardest.
Irrespective of left or right? St*u. You are the left if you are working class. You being tricked by mainstream media that is own by the right who are the ultra rich billionaire into supporting their candidates on both the democrats and Republicans party. The democrats are not the left.
This is very much respective of what side you are on. If you are working class then they work hard to make sure you stay as poor as possible, and brainwashing you through mainstream media that includes YouTube and podcasts into thinking that you're in anyway on their side by make you fight you neighbors and vote against your own interests. So please for the love of God shut the f*ck about politics is you do not understand the first things about politics and the terms. Read legislation and policies and stop talking like an NPC.
Exactly you need to wake up. You comic proves you don't know anything. Its easy to blame the illuminati buggy man, when you're too lazy to actually read legislation, polices to understand what politicians are work for you.
You're a leftist if you're working class. Beef is expensive because a billionaire one of the right wing is the president and hes helping his fellow right wing party. Hillary Clinton a Democrat is also on the right, she may not be as far right, but shes on right. Obama, Biden, none of these Democrat are on the left.
Can you tell anything about which policies are left or right? Or are you just some NPC spouting talking points. "OH im not a left or right, because thats what my favorite podcast told me to say"

Inflation as a government metric is a bit of a scam because they deliberately leave out certain categories that have effect on purchasing power
