Prices of inelastic goods necessary for survival are high. This is bad because election 
Honestly it amazing me the greed and utter stupidity of politicians and capitalists. Like there's gotta be some bullshit public-private deal Biden could workout with food producers to freeze and rollback prices. Just print money and give it to them. Is this ideal? Obviously fucking not, but the only other alternatives are doing nothing and exploding a (already exploded) campaign or nationalizing certain farming sectors and driving prices down that way or just doing a price freeze across the board. Obviously the latter isn't happening because somehow Richard Milhous Nixon was a better president than Biden. Nationalization is apparently impossible because "muh cumminism." And they're continually deluding themselves that some numbers on a chart showing GDP or whatever matters to literally anyone.
People judge if their life sucks based on pretty simple metrics like what percent of their pay goes to housing, what goes to food, electricity and other necessities. If pay goes up 10% and groceries 30% people notice, and they aren't exactly happy.
In a two party system the only "punishment" you can deal to a sitting party member is to vote for their opponent. Which of course with Republicans just worsen things... but they were getting worse anyway! So, sort of doesn't matter in the end.
Like ants in a giant bathtub when the plug gets pulled. Those closest to the hole already went in and are dead, homeless, in prison, etc. Around and around the drain we circle, some get sucked in first while the rest on the slowly speeding up outside of the vortex get more and more nervous about that impending black hole.

It seems that biden’s administration has never taken a class on propaganda. Democratic voters seem to be tricking themselves into making up and believing in their own propaganda which makes Biden lazy and refuse to do it on a large scale for the whole nation.
Fast reaching Lucille bluth levels of banana prices.
"working as intended"
I guess "Joe Biden fixed the economy except for the goods you need in order to survive" isn't quite as catchy
"Unemployment has never been lower because I kicked everybody off of unemployment!"
"COVID's gone Jack, I stopped having us report it"
~~i did that~~ 
~~i can't do that~~ 
~~putin did that~~ 
you did that 
If you don't vote for me, you ain't Black!
Literal bread crimes. 
A bread crime wave one might say.
SMH don't those groceries know democracy is on the ballot
Don't those grocery prices realize that the economy is doing great
Very rude of reality making Biden a liar about the economy getting better. He said it was better and reality didn't listen. Uncivil
Have they tried turning off sanctioning half the world?
Get out of here with that crazy talk! Clearly they just need to sanction the other half of the world as well!
“You don’t want to give back what you’ve ~~built~~ stole” by dropping prices too much, Breuninger said. But food companies risk antagonizing retailers with more price increases. “They know it’s going to be ~~a tough conversation.~~ social murder”
