Rent and housing costs are up 150-300% in my area. Liberals don't give a fuck because they either already own or are slumlords themselves. Death to America and it's "real estate investment" market.

I don’t feel a shred of sympathy for them but it is funny that they’re excited about their home values going up when it means they’re paying like $300 more a month in taxes… and if they sell and buy a new home the “gains” in their home value are instantly wiped out by the inflated price of their new home. The system isn’t really working for them either but stock market brain prevents them from understanding this.

Yeah that’s the problem my brother has. He’s got a “cozy” starter home he’s outgrown but between home values going sky high and increased interest rates, it’s simply not economically feasible to get a new home.

Chicken on sale at 99 cents a pound

Dude what store I will road trip for prices like that. Last time I was in the grocery store, chicken was like $6/lb by me. A rotisserie chicken costs more than my entire gigabit internet bill.

He's lying. People love to just make up numbers. I estimate as much as 99% of internet numbers are hallucinated.

Anybody who says the words "my portfolio" when talking about cost of living should be [redacted]

"America is the best because we have access to unlimited treats!"

"What, you wanted treats? Why are you so entitled?

Me, when the average cost of my groceries nearly doubled over a span of 5 years: Guess I can stop buying cheesy num-nums!

I would raise an eyebrow at any chicken that costs 99 cents a pound...

I have received word from the toddler league that they resent their language being coopted by treat demons

NPR was talking grocery prices and they interviewed a someone who was buying nothing but snacks. "a bag of chips a day". Then they went on to talk about how consumers are willing to spend more on name brand wine and seltzer

Due to a rare medical condition I will die unless I have 7000 calories of cheesy num noms a day.

this is an actual product? I assumed they were being condescending about the dumb poors and their unhealthy snacks being expensive which makes them vote against his favorite guy.
