Normal American: Groceries and food are so expensive now.

DCUM liberal: Go shop at your local farmers market.

Normal American: Okay. I'll go to my local fish market tomorrow.

DCUM liberal: Yes, what are you seeing?

Normal American: Well...crab legs are $85.00 a pound now.

DCUM liberal: No, not like that!

Some sectors have fully recovered from the mid-2020 economic collapse, but others have not. The latter still have problems with their labor forces, production, scalability, supply chains, etc. We need those jobs and sectors to recover and then everything else will work itself out. Job growth and business recovery are more important than inflation.

Recovery from the best economy ever under Trump...yeah!

Trump inherited an excellent economy from Obama, but then it tanked on his watch.

Yes because we all really feel the pinch when we can’t eat crab legs every night! Are you for real?

No one is eating crab legs every night. It’s amusing how liberals have shared the same refrain since August though - prices aren’t unreasonable. You got walloped in the November gubernatorial races, can’t wait until the midterms this fall.

Wouldn’t crab legs be exactly the type of product that would have supply chain issues that would result from the pandemic? I remember blue crab prices skyrocketing during the Trump pandemic years. It was widely acknowledged to be a result of an inability to hire migrant labor. But that must have been Biden’s fault too.

Climate change is the number one issue for millions of us. We’re done with your obstructionism.

John Kerry, January, 2021

“He knows Paris alone is not enough,” Kerry told reporters at a White House press briefing, referring to Biden re-entering the US in the Paris Climate Agreement in one of his first acts as president.

“Not when almost 90 percent of all of the planet’s global emissions come from outside of US borders. We could go to zero tomorrow and the problem isn’t solved.”

So your answer is for the USA to follow the lead and standards of the third world? That doesn’t make any sense at all. How does your reasoning work? Oil is a finite resource. Why would we structure our entire way of life around a finite resource when alternatives exist? It’s inevitable even if you disregard the environmental cost. It isn’t logical on any level whatsoever. The only reason I can possibly think of is that there is too much money to be made that we would never just leave it in the ground. We’re destroying our home for the sake of other people getting rich.

Like Kerry’s going to confront the PRC.

The labor shift away from low skilled workers to automation is happening now. Great thing about robots and software is that they don’t require benefits, higher wages, or join unions. They also can be programmed to take out rebellious masses of the poor. Inflation is the modern day culling under the planet’s survival of the fittest playbook.

I live in Maryland and I consistently have to self checkout my groceries.

Acme--I regularly have to self checkout with my cart full of $450 in groceries. They generally only one human working a checkout lane. If you don't do self checkout you can't exit the store.

Walmart Market--I have to self checkout there. I only pick up a few things here. They only have two human checkout operators here. You funnel through to the self checkout kiosks to exit the store.

Food Lion--still employs checkout operators--no self checkout here.

This is one reason why I like Publix in Florida. I've never seen a self checkout in a store.

Then the poor start robbing your stores by smashing and grabbing items.

So you are equating a fish market with a farmer's market? Are you dumb?

Yeah but that’s where the cops of today who shot and beat the looters will turn into armed drones and robots tomorrow. The moral of the story is don’t get caught being poor. Study hard, work hard, be smart in your choices and if you live in the US you have an extremely high chance of not being poor, despite inflation.
