So are house values
I saw the title of the post and said, “oh bullshit” but then went to walmart dot com and yeah, actually they are twice the price they were in 2019.
they were under $1 a dozen then, they’re still about $3 here–last i noticed the price anyway.
I know the federal reserve renovations were more expensive but it just feels like more hypocracy from this administration. No money to renovate a building that needs it, but gosh darn, we really need to spend hundreds of millions on a ballroom to be able to host better parties. And I have no doubt it’s going to cost more than budgeted.
This is the right meme for the class war.
The supplier that supplies eggs for Aldi was found price manipulating and abusing chickens. Meanwhile local farmers were selling much better tasting eggs where you could see the chickens out in the fields happily foraging and unafraid of humans AND for lower prices.
The local farmer can’t supply eggs in the quantities Aldi needs, so Aldi prefers a simple supply chain with a couple of contracts with large-scale producers. Same as the other national/regional chains. Government stopped enforcing anti-monopoly laws, all the retailers consolidated to drive out the independents; the six remaining grocery chains forced all their suppliers to consolidate to national-scale production; the food packagers prefer to deal with factory-scale farms… We could really use a little competition in our ‘free’ markets.
Always support your local production! It’s better than feeding the mega-corporations that have an oligopoly in basically every single industry and market.
The biggest issue is that these “too big to fail” conglomerates are willing to take a loss to kill off local businesses, and then raise prices when they’re the only option you have left.
I’m leaving in half an hour to go to the Saturday market to get me some fresh free range (although not completely organic - near impossible if you want healthy birds) eggs. Cheaper than in the States and cheaper than Aldi, AH, Jumbo, all the big chains. I can see the farm on the map, with chickens outside, at least when google took that photo.
0.5c off if you reuse your old container. It’s possible, just difficult to overcome the big chains. And yes I’m dripping in privilege but I moved continents to get it it.
Good job! You’re doing your best!
We wouldn’t need to move continents to do it if we hadn’t destroyed the environment so dramatically :/
You think prices will go down once they go up?
I seem to recall that the White House is considered a historic building, and renovations need to be approved by Congress. It’s actually been a problem, because there’s a lot of wiring and plumbing issues that need to be addressed. Was this somewhere in the Big Murder Bill?
Oh, right, I forgot about what Administration we’re dealing with. Of course he’s going ahead with it.
Release the Epstein files!
The plebs will dine on the happiness of the elite and have full bellies.
Adjudicated rapist, inmate #P01135809, formerly known as the former presidential placeholder but who is now currently known as the current presidential placeholder says: “Shut up about egg prices.”
Whenever a Republican pretends to care about the national debt, they’re lying.
Trumps is paying out of his pocket and an
donationbribe from an unknown source.
And yet we’re not camped out on the white house lawn, grinding the economy to a halt.
They built a couple more walls around the White House for some reason.
Choppy chop!
Oh look. Epstein distractions.
