“While inflation has cooled from its peak, grocery prices have not returned to where consumers remember them,” Martin told The Post.

“Food prices have effectively reset to a permanently higher level after years of supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, transportation costs, and broad inflationary pressures,” he added.

Meanwhile the minimum wage hasn't been raised in almost 20 years. There's nothing that leads to revolution faster than hunger:

They said if I voted for Kamala the prices would be high and we'd be in more wars. Well, they were right!

    Trump has catastrophically failed in delivering every single promise he made to the working class MAGA cunts who voted for him. However, these dumb bastards still vehemently and passionately support him, with some even outright lying to convince themselves Trump has made their lives better.

    There is no greater evidence that Trump's supporters support him entirely for his racism, corruption, pedophilia and atrocities. Its the only thing he's delivered on, and they're head over heels for it.

    He delivered 100% on being a Nazi, and that's the only one that really matters to them. They'll sacrifice themselves to hurt minorities. They've practically told us this and now they're proving it

    Conservatives value in-group solidarity more than almost anything else. Feels good in their brain.

    You'd probably be an asshole too if you came a little every time you yielded to authority. That's how their brains work.

    1 in 4 girls are sexually abused before age 18. 1 in 6 boys. That's a lot of pedophiles. The math adds up is all I'm saying. They love him because he's just like they are.

    Where are you getting these numbers from? That seems insanely high.

    One thing is true, not every Republican is a pedophile, but every pedophile is a republican.

    When you put the entire population of folks that used to work the fields and man the meat processing plants into concentration camps and then lose a war that spikes food transportation costs, why would you expect anything less?
    What did Trump say recently about his feelings about families struggling with higher costs of living?

    He's a con man and always has been.

    But the conservatives just love to punch themselves square in the balls to own the libs, because they rely on the fact that everyone else will suffer, too, and they hope that libs suffer more.

    If only those Republican voters who are not MAGA and don’t agree with Trump would vote for the Democratic candidate, but they won’t. The best they can do is not vote.

    Then how is it that I was seeing headlines today about how inflation has softened, been "tamed", etc.? Is that just based on the Fed not raising rates (even though they probably should)?

    "Every society is three meals away from chaos

    -Vladimir Lenin"

    The US starved for over a decade during the great depression. Even by WWII almost 40% of men were turned away from joining the army because of malnourishment so bad it had affected their development.

    People really like to pretend revolution is just around the corner.

    Bullshit story, it includes COVID inflation from years back where prices went up 21% between 2021 and 2023.
    There is nothing new in this article, and only at the very last part of the article they write the truth:

    Prices for all food are expected to increase by 3.1% in 2026

    I don't know why people are claiming it's a bullshit story, grocery prices are up 33% compared to 2019. It includes the inflation from COVID pricing because those prices never went back down.

    If you don't like the nypost you can find the 33% figure in several other more reputable sources. They are all working off of the same data about Consumer Price Index index from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    I don’t know why people are claiming it’s a bullshit story

    Because they don't write that it's since 2019, that means it's over 7 years.
    Such numbers are usually on a per year basis unless otherwise indicated.

    Hey maybe that's how they plan to solve America's obesity. Nothing going in one side while everything goes out the other side.

    Jokes aside I feel pretty bad for people. This happens in the summer, in the peak season for vegetables. I would go crazy if I couldn't eat any salads when it's so hot outside and cooking is uncomfortable and more of a chore.

    Climate change will also help solve the obesity crisis. When crops fail (which will also disproportionately affect the supply of animal products), the portly will be forced to eat only what they require for sustenance as food gets rationed. And they’ll have to eat tofu while protesting.
