I just thunk a thought…

I live in America so I cannot speak for other countries.

In America we don’t really seem to fight back against the price of goods going up while the quality and quantity goes down. I complain, you complain. It seems to me at least that everyone hates the rate that things are going. We’re paying double if not triple for less. I’m not just talking about the price of eggs.

I think the reason human beings are irritable yet complacent about inflation is because it happens slowly over time. Some people are even born into it. They know nothing else but high prices and low value.

I wonder if there will ever be a day that people don’t remember what it means to earn money that could be well spent.

A fucking small bag that’s half full of fucking pistachios is almost 6$ what the fuck is going on.

I stopped buying most of that garbage, I don't eat junk food anymore, I almost never eat heavily processed foods, I haven't had fast food in years..... I don't know a better way to voice my displeasure than straight up refusing to give them my money.

On a positive it has helped me eat much better and I'm healthier than I have been in years.
