Serious question: Why did I order a drip coffee the other day and get charged $4.25?
“I planned to get a new car in the summer of 2020.
And then came the supply chain issues.
And then USED cars started selling for MORE than brand-new cars!
It’s now 2024 and I still haven’t gotten a new car.
I will this summer, but goddammit, no more issues, yo.”
oh, no thank you

That is now dead.
I fucking hate going to the grocery store now.
In addition, the high prices are definitely due to greed and not just inflation.
Shopping at Aldi is sometimes depressing.
However, it is the only affordable store in my area.
Lets not even talk about the price of regular-ass drawstring sweatpants these days.
Im paying $7 more to have to patch up the pockets right off the shelf."

“Getting headphones with your phone purchase.
I loved having corded headphones as a backup!
I hate having to buy them separately.
“Just going to get McDonalds now.
Two regular meals are almost $25…for burgers and fries.
Thats trickle-down economics doing what it does best, though!”

“I miss menus!
QR codes are the worst.”
A once-500-gram pack of pasta is now $5 and only 350 grams.
Bread is smaller and over $10 a loaf it’s ridiculous.
A movie ticket now being $24 means even that has become a luxury, once-in-a-blue-moon outing.”

“Little stops to get coffee and a snack, for sure.
“I got a quote to have the asphalt done in my driveway back in January 2022.
It was $11,500.
Unfortunately, I couldnt afford it at the time.
Fast-forward to today: Same company, same driveway, same materials, is quoted at almost $16,000!
Im having it done as we speak.”
The rich get richer, and the poor get squat.”
Yes everything is more expensive now but at least the quality is way worse too
