Yeah, I don’t understand why this is downvoted either… do people not think women’s rights are in jeopardy? I mean, if they don’t live in the US maybe nothing has changed in their world so this doesn’t impact them. Being American, Roe v Wade being overturned is terrifying to me.

Just read an article that said groceries have increased 9% in the last two years. That is not at all correct...it's at least doubled here in California!

The government needs to intervene here. Inflation is 8.7%, yet stores have jacked up prices 100% and more. Eggs that were 99 cents a dozen a year or two ago are now $4.19.

CNN actually reported the rising prices of many foods are due to "greedflation," stating people were willing to pay higher prices for food. . . as if we had a choice not to eat

Basics should be free (selected food staples, shelter, basic hygiene) and if you want fancier, better, have choice.... earn it. I guarantee you that once people have needs covered, they'll outdo themselves to get better

This is textbook communism but I'm not against it considering we are in debt purely due to our grocery bill.

They act like we're all too stupid to notice things have gotten smaller and more expensive. I'm sorry, but I've *never* had to spend 75$ on a month of meat to feed my family. I could just feed them questionable animal parts I guess, hot dogs are still 2$ a package if I buy the brand that might have bone chips in it... Ramen guys. RAMEN is getting expensive. Ramen. I know other countries have it really bad, but I'm not in other countries, I'm in this one. I feel for them, truly I do. It can't be easy living in dirt, scraps or possibly nothing. But that's not going to magically put money in my wallet to afford all these jacked up prices. I need to feed my family. If I had any excess id feed other people too. I used to, but God forbid I try to buy a cabbage anymore. You know here we're not allowed to have our own gardens or collect rainwater? It's not like I can skate by on my own soil and hands.

Not just food. The battery in my renote start key fob died, so I was using the other one, well the other cold A** morning the second one died. Went to the store last night and they only had a 10 pack. For $22. Now what really pisses me off, is that both remotes take different batteries, and a 2 pack of the other kind was $8. So I bought a 6 pack of battery operated tea lights, since they use the same batteries, for $3.49 and then paid the $8 for the other ones. To top that off, this is the second or third time, depending on which remote, that I have changed the batteries on a 2016.

Keep demonizing the energy industry. Making it harder and harder to domestically produce gas and fuel... and the prices with continually increase for everything. Not just food. It's like people have no clue why food costs what it does? You have Europe banning fertilizers, meaning less food per square acre. So costs go up. People who have no idea how economics works but will cry to high Heaven when their morning coffee is 15$ a cup.

It’s to keep poor people dying. and just remember whenever you think going to the polls is important, it’s not, it doesn’t matter who gets elected. Has any year gotten better since the last few decades? Have the prices climbed every year or have they dropped? Exactly. It will never get better. Never.

It has both gotten worse and better my friend. I can feel you're very angry, and I am too. If minimum wage bothered to keep up with inflation, I'd be making almost 30$/hr right now. No, no let's go ahead and keep it at half, *at most*. But good things have happened too. However angry you are, no matter how bad it is, never lose sight of whats true. The truth is far more important than religion, political loyalty or some such nonsense. Just make sure to keep going, you got this.

Clearly there's a spoilt generation totally unused to the idea of inflation, just shows how good things have been on the last few years.

I think you spelled "inflation with stagnant wages" wrong. And l'm old enough to remember when inflation was 20% and YET people didn't have to resort to food banks to eat.

23 Things That Are Slowly Phasing Out In 2022 And Are Probably Going To Completely Disappear Social acceptance for cigarette smoking in public. Like the old-fashioned light-them-on-fire tobacco smokes.

I go all over for work, and it’s a noticeable event if someone smells like smoke. No buildings seem to have smoking areas anymore, even the butt cans are rare sightings. Can you even imagine someone lighting up *inside a restaurant*? People still do it, but they almost have to hide it, only smoking at home or in their cars or vaping while out and about. When you come out of a store and you smell cigarette smoke, it’s noticeable because it’s not always there. The difference from 10 years ago is huge. 20 years ago this would be unimaginable.

Even when you aren't working, shifts are so long it feels like you're losing your whole day and your days off are the only chance you have to catch up on cleaning and doctor's appointments and maintaining your life that it's hard to find the time to do any leisure activities. Just watching TV or making a meal feels like such a time investment because there's so little time to waste.

23 Things That Are Slowly Phasing Out In 2022 And Are Probably Going To Completely Disappear Honestly? Cheap and neat finds at antique/thrift stores. Most places upcharge outrageous amounts for the items they get in, especially if it's a legitimate antique or unique item. On top of that, a lot of what's being sold now are nicknacks and decorative items that were made cheap at the time, and no one wants anymore.

I think we're also phasing out of the cheap product phase for everything, or at least slowing down. More and more people are choosing to repurpose their items or try and fix them, rather than just tossing and buying something new. Repurposing is even easier than ever thanks to the internet, it's no longer a struggle to figure out how to fix s**t and to buy missing parts and tools that you'd need to get the job done.

Yup, Sitcoms are fading in general. Or are already completely gone. At least good ones. Maybe because you can't have dark-humored, sarcastic content anymore. Imagine "Married with Children" going on air nowadays. My favorite Sitcom...
