those kiwis are a bunch of commies
I actually think they're just spineless and let commies rule them. A country full of Mello's?
They have up their guns...for safety.
I was curious so I took 5 minutes to pull an InstaCart grocery receipt from 2019 and compare to my most recent.
I took the 10 most common items purchased and added up the cost.
The average increase in price was 43.6%
I have to imagine that is absolutely crippling to the average working class US household. Biden deserves to lose and lose badly in November.

It really isn't close. It's an absolute massacre to middle class families.
Seeing as middle class white women elected Biden I've checked out at arguing the point with working class people that still don't get it.
Keep Voting for Biden, fuck it, I'll be fine.
I read an article published by Fox 13 the other day that claimed the minimum annual income for a family of 4 to be middle class in WA State is only $74,000. No way in hell that's right.
A couple each making $19.50/hr at Costco full-time exceeds that rate before taxes. Housing alone eats up almost half of the net income, plus if you have two kids to raise.
Maybe in Omak
If you're making $75,000 a year in most of King County, you're in a 400 foot studio, right? I don't live there and won't live there…
A shitty starter home in a place like Marysville probably runs about $450k these days. With $0 other monthly debt, $75k can't quite qualify for a home at that price.
75k a year means you’re sharing a 2BR apartment in Burien and waiting on payday so you can pay rent/cable and buy groceries.
Literally paycheck to paycheck with no chance…zero…of property ownership.
The American dream of home ownership is on life support. Urban planning is becoming suburban planning. If you’re 23 years old it’s you against blackrock. Good luck, but hey…you voted for it. Or at least you tweet for it while sucking down an 8.00 Starbucks latte.
I’ll be fine. Some others in my age demo will be fine. Fewer in the millennial bracket. Even fewer with Gen Z. Kids younger than that are fucked.
but hey…it’s all Trump’s fault
Me and Buck got mine. Fuck the losers

Maybe. If it's super, super shitty. Otherwise, like we say, ….

I'm good.
That's also assuming people making 75k a year can save up the 90k down payment.
