The price of cotton went up during and after the American Civil War. If only those annoying Republicans hadn't insisted on fighting to end slavery.
The price of produce is going up right now, likely partially due to the difficulty of having a permanent underclass to exploit.
No more exploiting underclasses for cheap labor and cheap goods.
Join the local gardening club, get on youtube and learn to grow at least some of your own produce in the backyard or in pots on your deck. Buy from your local farmers market. Take your neighbor's unwanted zucchini off his hands. Or just pay up at the grocery store. You may have to drop the soda, energy drinks and buy less wine DCUM, but somehow you will make it through.
