And I am fine with it.

I would have paid ANYTHING to have that raging a**hole Trump gone.

Good for you. A large portion of American people and families however can’t afford to buy groceries now, though.

Partisan hacks like you going around calling everything the other side does "cringe inducing" is cringe inducing.

“We’re in a period of unprecedented commodity inflation,” Unilever Chief Executive Officer Alan Jope told investors Monday. He said Unilever would recover some of those costs in part by selling smaller packages of some foods at the same price as a larger size.

Higher prices on grocery-store shelves and restaurant menus are part of a broader rise in inflation. U.S. consumer prices surged 5% in May from a year ago to reach the highest annual inflation rate in nearly 13 years.

More expensive used cars and trucks fueled the increase, according to Labor Department data, and prices for furniture and airfare also jumped. Food prices are rising because of the higher costs for labor and transport but also ingredients including corn, soybean oil and wheat.

Supermarket executives said prices they pay for beef had gone up from 20% to 40% depending on the cut. Keith Milligan, controller of Piggly Wiggly grocery stores in Alabama and Georgia, said the company was passing much of the increase on to customers.“

I don’t understand how the pp who claims food prices aren’t higher continuously denies the fact.

13 years ago was when we were coming out of the last recession.

Beef, pork and chicken price increases happened because of the pandemic. And that was for multiple reasons - 1.) hoarding and 2.) meat packing plants exploit their labor and do nothing for their safety which resulted in numerous raging outbreaks of COVID meaning worker shortages. None of that was because of "Biden" no matter how much you want to point fingers, if anything it was Trump's mishandling of the pandemic and Republicans who reward greed and back policies that exploit workers.

As for a 5% cost increase in other goods causing people hardship that goes to show that American workers desperately need wage increases. And they deserve wage increases as wages have not kept pace with productivity, profitability and any other metric. All of the money flows to the top and gets skimmed off resulting in greater and greater wealth disparities. And again Republicans to blame.

I don't understand how the pp who continuously wants to blame Biden keeps continuously ignoring and denying the truth of all of those underlying factors and deny the role that Trump and Republicans had in all of it.

We can argue all day as to the reasons for price increases; the truth of the matter is that prices are increased, families can’t afford groceries, and the Biden administration thinks it’s a win that people saved sixteen cents on a bbq and ignore the fact that that a few cents savings were wiped out by increased gas prices.

Not to mention the price of charcoal, paper plates and plastic utensils, soda, etc, for a bbq have increased as well. It was a tone deaf tweet. And people who deny that fact and the fact Americans are struggling to purchase basic groceries are blind, deaf, dumb, and uncaring.

Inflation isn't the difference here. Were you worried about the poor people under Trump?

Why would I care who is president when caring about struggling people/families? It’s not just the poors being hurt by this issue. Working families are struggling as well, even though they aren’t “poor.” Tell me if Trump had put out a victory tweet about saving sixteen cents you would not have been sickened.

Well, let’s see. Source afte source has been produced, providing evidence to support the statement: food prices are skyrocketing. You have provided no sources, only your defensive, knee-jerk OPINION that Biden shouldn’t be held responsible for this. You’re so offended at any criticism of this administration that all you know how to do is stamp your feet and throw tantrums. You’ve been proven wrong, over and over. Grow up.

Can you imagine the mocking? This is nothing compared to the reactions Trump would have gotten. The tweet was tone deaf, corny, and just plain stupid. Fail.

I don't get the indignation. Trump boasted plenty about the big beautiful economy he (thought) he built, and American families were struggling then, too. Did you get up in arms about it then as well, or is it only when there's a Democrat in the White House that you dust off the fainting couch?
