Peanuts, really…

Which you could argue is also a large component of the inflation we’ve had. We wouldn’t have had to massively stimulate the economy if there wasn’t a pandemic. But it was all Biden, charging you more for eggs, right?

Nothing, and nothing needs to be done. It’s his company, he can run it how he wants and that will result in how successful it is. Personally I wouldn’t be anywhere near him and unless I had a dire need not to, I’d quit working for whatever company he owns and find somewhere more sane to spend my time

If someone doesn’t have that little money for food then they have real budget issues to work out. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen but finding a solution to that for them is far better than turning to thieving or rioting

Moving is different for everyone but obviously it can be done. Look at the people trying to come here from South America with nothing but the clothes on their back. They’re not angry thieves or rioters, they’re not mad at corporations or rich people or anything else, they just want an opportunity to work and live a modest life and they’re leaving everything behind for the chance at it

Here in America you probably have a car already, some basic essentials and maybe some money to your name. That’s more than those migrants have so I know it’s possible. My grandparents immigrated to Canada from Austria to flee the war, built their own farm by hand and scratched out a living. My parents moved us every few years for work to make sure we were fine. I moved myself from East Coast to West Coast to escape a bad social life and restarted completely with an unpaid internship, working my way back up. None of it is easy, of course not, I can’t give an answer on where to go or what to do for work but at least try because all this other nonsense people are saying is just not helpful and at worst will land people in trouble

Wow, some terrible answers in here. Look, dumb answers like steal, riot or “eat the rich” don’t do anything. You all sitting there acting like internet keyboard warriors literally does nothing to solve this issue so wake up and get a grip.

To answer op’s question, the only thing one can do is not engage with it. Price increases or not it’s still a free market and you do have choices on what you buy. You don’t need a new truck, or phones or organic eggs or whatever they want to sell you. Take care of yourself, learn to be budget conscious, work on your career and your own journey and ignore the rest, it’s noise. Truly if you’re underwater and can’t afford to live where you are, move. There are places in every state that remain cheap. Food should not be a problem in this country. Everyone can afford $50-100 a week for food and you can stay in that budget if you learn what to buy and what to make with it. If everyone did that it’d be far more effective than rioting or stealing or any other dumb response.

And maybe if he’d done a better job with COVID we’d still not have this problem

Good luck with genocide Trump… If you think he’d give two shits you’re kidding yourself

That’s an excellent point and probably why things only continue to get worse

Hmm, let me see. Ceasefire in a country that has nothing to do with us and doesn’t effect us in the slightest

OR

We elect a literal fascist who actually admitted he will be a dictator and use the military against his enemies at home

Tough choice

People shitting on your comment but the majority of Americans should eat less food overall, and change the type of foods, exercise etc. the weight loss drugs do just that, make you eat less and you can do that for free with a little mental discipline

So… He wouldn’t mind if the government withholds any financial aid to the state from now on, right?

Putin: “Niet”

Shamed by who? Yeah we’re there because people have silo’d their lives to be with others like them, both online and offline. Used to be you didn’t talk about those things, regardless of how you felt, now it’s taken over a lot of people’s lives.

I’ve been saying this for years. It’s kind of not really a choice, as much as it sucks. Let’s just hope enough people actually turn out to vote

Polls don’t mean shit, they’re wrong constantly and shift on a dime. Just write some good fucking policy and focus on the people

Open and shut case. Blah blah, democracy, freedom of choice, whatever…

Nothing, same as the first time. He couldn’t do what he wants anyway, the stuff he can do can get reversed just as easily. All the other stuff is just noise.

Don’t autopay when possible, keep your credit cards down to one or two and itemize at the end of the month so you can catch things adding up. Things like groceries, budget roughly around the same amount each time, things like eating out, door dash etc that’s where the itemization comes in, do the math or use an app to help add it up. Put money into a savings account whenever you have extra. Do not, I repeat do not look at your bank and go “sweet I have an extra $300 this month, time for a new [whatever]”, put it in the savings

Same, it’s great separating the two and itemizing at the end of the month so you get a better idea where the majority of money is going

Cash money, son
