Tbqf I think a lot of this stems from the 2008 financial crisis. I'm noticing many of our woes of today are a continuation of the horrible choices made by the elites back then. When there was finally a time for a big correction, a time where literally everybody was going to get beaten to a pulp (financially), they bailed out the elites, leaving the rest of us to get beaten to a pulp for over a decade now. And it keeps happening. And they keep just throwing around money like it doesn't even matter. Heck, what's another zero added to that number we're sending to Ukraine?
2008 was officially the year where money among the elites basically turned into monopoly money. Ya know, the game where if you run out of money in the bank, you are literally told in the rules to just print some more on pieces of paper.
Thanks for this, Liz. You've hit the nail on the head. "Is this what what we want? A world in which all non-essentials have been scrimped out of existence?" No! But it's what the Great Reset WEF UN NWO crowd want for us: "You'll own nothing (we'll make sure you won't be able to afford the basics or to have fun, heh-heh) but you'll be happy." All beauty's gone, we're now living in black and white not technicolour: Toronto's a **ithole and getting worse every day. The COVID lockdowns, mandates, and never-ending lies, got the misery ball rolling, all justified by the merciless lying elites. I pray for our kids and grandkids ...
Grocer profits are a result of two things: 1. Monetary inflation (that creates price inflation); 2. Price inflation of big ticket and luxury and convenience goods and services that leads people to stay home and spend MORE at Superstore instead. Also, Grocers are better at finding efficiencies thanks to COMPETITION -- supermarkets are one of the less-regulated spaces in our economy. Ottawa and the provinces will be sure to change that in the coming months and years.
I am a boomer and I resent your premise lol.. I grew up on a farm and started working at age 9 and am still working at 61 no shame in working hard and living well below your means..My parents lived through the depression and WWII and my mom told us stories about how horrible the depression wasn’t how neighbors helped each other and there was a real sense of community.Now it’s all about divide and conquer well this American Citizen isn’t playing that game.Thanks for a great article and a few laughs
I somewhat agree with everything you have said. But…not totally. When I had a bar my cocktail waitresses were shocked my Liz owned a house. I said ‘how much do you spend a month on cigs and drinks?’ It turned out in three years they could have all saved enough for a down payment. Right this minute it is hard to buy. But this changes over time. In fifteen years we should have a massive price correction on housing. Kids 20 now will do great. But not if they don’t start saving now. And likely we will have another good buying period between then and now.
Actually you ought to be blaming the political class. But no, to you it’s a particular age group. lol. Get a fucking life. Quit whining. And stop voting communist.
Uh hello... Based department?

Heh heh. This is so well written it will be criminalized by one Trudeau Nepo Fontleroy III.

Trudeau’s solution to high grocery prices is to tax the corporations more. And the shit rolls downhill.
