Was going to pop in and say shit is pretty bad here in shithole leafland as well.
The funny thing about it here is that people are dumb enough to shrug off a lot of the increases on cheaper items that percentage wise are fucking absolutely insane while complaining about something going up $1 when it was already $9.
But just the last few months some big jumps I've noticed percentage wise on shit that was $1-$1.33 going up to $2 is fucking wild.
Really basic common shit like Heinz beans going from $1ish on sale to regular $1.29 all the way up to $1.99. Some very small donuts that are common going from $1.29 to now being presented as '$2' flat as if it were a deal or a sale(similar to how up thread you guys also have some things that get presented as a flat dollar amount being a good deal)...just countless examples of that.
One problem here is that there's only a few huge corpos that collude to keep prices high.
Record profits though...so woohoo for them

If 17 year olds dating 3 years younger then them is seriously some FBI level shit these days, then honestly a ton of people from my high school in like late 90s and early 2000s would be criminals.
Like dozens of people at least. Possibly hundreds if we go over multiple years.
And presumably thousands unless the older generations were different somehow(I doubt it...)
Honestly, I guess you know you're old when things have changed so much you don't even feel like you're living in the same society.

Everything is relative...so the equivalent to that would have to be equally impactful
