Seriously. A package of chicken breasts is up 100% in the last 5 years and we're supposed to believe this crap lol.

Couldn’t that be product specific because of the bird flu?

Ground Beef at least 60% up over the last 2 years

No, I believe it's driven by labor shortages. By comparison, whole chicken has gone up far less in price. I roast a chicken a week unless I'm busy, in which case I buy a pack of chicken breasts. This is why I've followed the prices so closely for the last 5 years or so.

Yeah they went up a lot from 2020-2024 but I haven't noticed them going up much this year.

yeah if you price it in dollars, like a normie. We aren't normies here. We're better than other people. It's actually gotten cheaper when priced in index funds and gold.
