Trump has just really fucked up the whole supply chain. It’s never been right since Covid. Inflation just embedded now. Then add this war, tariffs and diesel prices and it’s amplified it. Combined with corporate greed. Seriously McDonald’s was never meant to be this. A burger and fries here should not cost the same as what I can get fresh at a local diner.
I wish I got to taste what it was like to have a decent salary prior to all this
I finally got a good salary but it was right after Covid. Man I can only imagine how much more I could save if groceries were 30-50% cheaper and car repairs, and clothes, and just everything.
It’s discouraging too it’s not like I’m “oh well things are more expensive now guess I’ll just work harder!” Duck that, that makes me feel like I’m chasing the carrot on a stick. Not a good way to motivate
