This article is propaganda bs. The price of a meal is not directly related to the state of our economy. But this article sure would like you to think that. Evil companies will always exploit the people who blindly buy their products. Especially if you buy their overpriced shit and post about it. It's just engagement for them
This is the kind of thing someone says when they don't know what it's like to be hungry
I can't wait till they have to learn.
Blaming pricing on consumers is such baby economics
Sure. But that doesn't establish the relative price/income ratio of retail.
The horse-race politics angle is pure political engagement. However, the cost of basic necessities relative to the prevailing availability of incomes is a lot more than just engagement. They're describing real material conditions.
