Last year in July and August, I spent around +/-$50 bucks a week purchasing basic groceries for the week for myself and the cat food/litter for my cat,
Francoise. This year it is 3x that amount for those same weekly items and the prices increase every other week. Everything is far more expensive at the grocery store. For example, a year or so ago, Campbell's Chunky 19 oz. canned soup was +/- $1.49 per can and Stagg 15 oz. canned chili was +/- $1.29 per can. Today, both are being sold at Von's for $3.99 per can. That inflation/stagflation is true for every item which I purchase at the Von's grocery chain where I shop. Everything in Von's is pretty much 2x -- 3x the cost of what it was 12 months to 18 months ago. I don't see this inflation/stagflation ending any time soon or any time at all even in the next several years as long as the incompetent and insane Turd is in power. I still work and if I'm bitching about it -- I can't help but wonder just how terrorized, emotionally traumatized and psychologically anxious tens of millions of American families are who are trying to make ends meet on a fixed income or with subsistence incomes. I'm certain that electricity costs everywhere are exhorbitantly expensive as is water and gas and other utility charges. Wait until Winter arrives and people are trying to heat their homes. When I look into my crystal ball and I see those images of those people "starving" to death in Gaza because of the Israeli war criminal ethnic cleansing going on over there -- I can't help but know that similar "starvation" and "malnutrition" is coming to many of the poor, the homeless, the lower classes and the elderly here in the US this Winter. I think that it is soon going to get real fucking brutal for millions of people!
