      Meanwhile before the election every outlet seemed afraid to say more than one sentence about how tariffs really work. 

      And now on Facebook and whatnot there’s just a constant stream of posts talking about Trump being right again and we’re doing so well with the tariffs. …

      It’s getting more and more difficult to blame Obama for this, but I’m absolutely certain that MAGA will give it a go.

      ***From Rolling Stone’s Peter Wade:***

      Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows food prices have spiked by 2.9 percent since last July, and wholesale prices on fresh and dry vegetables increased by nearly 40 percent last month — the biggest increase in the last three years. And rising prices are likely to continue.

      Why?

      Donald Trump‘s tariffs.

      We’re a little over halfway through the month and I’ve overshot my food budget. The local foodbank is overtaxed, and good old Christian charity is nowhere to be found.

      I hope MAGA is proud they’re starving people with their idiotic decision making and clear lack of critical thinking.

      Add to the tariffs the government attack on migrant labor. The one-two punch seems to be aimed at consumers; not a whoopsie but a hahaha.

      The painful irony is a lot of people voted in this administration thinking they’d lower prices.

    8. vtosnaks on

      And they targeted workers across the entire supply chain, from farmland to storefront. Who’s going to produce and deliver that shit for that cheap now? Crickets… This admin’s so dumb, they can’t even do evil properly.

      hungry families can just have three groceries instead of thirty. why do you need thirty groceries?

      Prices at Walmart wow good luck with that oh did I forget to say release the Epstein files.

    13. CheetahPatient6926 on

      Well, also because of ICE – they are removing labour, which will push the salary up

      My partner’s food stamps benefits were reduced to literally $26. About 10% of what she got before. She tried reapplying thinking it was an error. I knew it was just cause there isn’t funding anymore. Idk how we’re gonna make it…

      I haven’t heard a single news outlet talk about eggs anymore when that is all we’ve heard about getting up the election.

    20. Leather-Forever2649 on

      these trade wars are entirely of Trump and his henchmens creation

    21. Oil_slick941611 on

      People are so stupid, unlike trade, the tariffs aren’t new money. It’s money already in the US going back to the government. It’s a tax on the American people and businesses. Yet they lap it up like trained seals.

    22. urbanlife78 on

      Weird, the media and Republicans seem to no longer be concerned about this. I wonder what changed

    24. ChefChopNSlice on

      Let them eat cake, right? But cake is now 200% more expensive, and 75% the original size.

    25. Likestoread25 on

      MAGA be like it’s only been 7 months, he needs more time to lower the prices

    26. Vraye_Foi on

      > According to the Consumer Price Index, prices for consumers have already risen on several foods. Prices have increased by 5.8 percent on meat, 3.1 percent on poultry, **16.4 percent on eggs**, and 14.5 percent on coffee

      Instead of paying American wages, farm owners are perfectly happy with letting half their crop rot, collecting insurance money, and raising prices of what’s left.

      The crop that has gone to rot was going to be exported anyway and isn’t competitive with tariffs. So, they git more money from the crop going to Americans, and as I said insurance money is worth more than exporting crop harvested by with American wages.

      It makes zero sense for food prices to come down any time soon.

      $368 for 2/3 of a cart of groceries. Will feed my family of four for a week.

    30. VladtheInhaler999 on

      How have flaired users justified high food prices today? Is it to own the libs or just to drain your wallet because I don’t see any win win situation when it comes to paying more for food

    31. spribyl on

      And deportation, can’t sell what isn’t harvested or unprepared animals.

      Can’t move into half completed structures

      Oh, sorry your rooms not ready

      Please wait someone is washing the restaurant dishes, oh that food will be a bit.

      You nurse will be with you in a few hours, there are other patients a head of you.

      Good. Nobody forced you all to vote for Trump, it was your own choice. And you got what you voted for.

    34. Affectionate-Cup-657 on

      lets gooo(im sorry we all have to starve) but once enough people go hungry that will force everyone to rise up and we can enact real change(get rid of the billionaires and maybe Capitalism)

    36. dextercho83 on

      It’s the people that doesnt vote that always gets me. They say they never wanted this but at the same time, they withheld their votes

      I have been buying the 3 LB can of ground Colombian coffee for a few years and the price has always been stable at about $17. Today it’s at $23.99. crap

    39. parkinthepark on

      Every serious economist in the solar system: “Capricious protectionist trade policies will raise prices”

      Everyone in America: “These capricious protectionist trade policies are raising prices”

      Trump: “My capricious protectionism is working!”

      Media: “Let’s wait and see who’s right”

      And his supporters will continue making excuses and licking his ass.

      Big surprise.

      I had a decent paycheck this week because I worked a bit more than normal. Between groceries and one bill, it’s nearly gone. I haven’t lived paycheck to paycheck in many many years. It pisses me off to no end that I have worked as hard as I have to get to this point, and now I’m having to check my bank balance to make sure I can afford necessities.

    44. Recipe_Limp on

      I try to only buy food from the U.S. – mostly from local farmers markets and ranchers. Mostly good where / how I shop.

    45. Oceanbreeze871 on

      Every week, everything I need costs more. This is pure insanity.

      Eggs are $10. Double than during the election when JD Vance was crying about ot

    46. DrunkenNinja27 on

      Ah yes the poor get to starve just so a pedo can feel like a big man.

    47. MidnightWorried6992 on
