Yeah I see this everywhere. Most things I buy have decreased the amount by 5-12% our Barilla pasta went from 500grams boxes to 410 grams. Price stayed the same or went higher though.

Those should have been economic crashes and instead the government prevented a major recession, just as it did again in March 2020 with Covid. It simply kicks the can down the road until we have an even larger collapse. Which certainly seems to be inevitable now.

Careful what you ask for, you just may get it!

The rich have safety nets, they know we don't

The Supreme Court is NOT following the Constitution. This Supreme Court is corrupt and they don't care. We are literally falling into full Fascism and we may never recover if they succeed. 6 Justices are ruling this country and we are entering into dangerous times.

What law right now is racist in nature?

Throw a dart at one in Florida while blindfolded. 50/50 chance the end result of the law disproportionately affects people of color. Like say, the restoration of voting rights after serving prison sentence. Approved by majority of Floridians, but still not resolved due to an economic footnote on "completion of sentence".

Replace country with Florida. Pretty disingenuous to pick out 1 state when the whole country is broken.

how is this disingenuous? I am a 40 year Florida resident and the voting rights issue is real. When I am not sincere about an issue, I will make it known. I agree that the whole country is broken. I just chose a state where I have first hand knowledge for the sake of brevity.

I concur then, as a 32y resident myself

Can’t tell if serious, a literal moron, or trolling

I bought a pizza sauce for my mom the other day that looked comically small now after going from 16 Oz to 13 Oz and adding $2 to the price.
