To confirm, you think the government should control prices of every day items, correct? If not, tell us who should control the prices we pay for these items?

Well, first of all, do you agree the government played a role in these high prices? I’ll grant you that Trump played a part with those fat stimulus checks.

I agree, though, that it doesn’t make much sense to bitch about the price of everything while you are still eating out.

My grandparents did not go out to eat multiple times per week.
Now I don’t either. I don’t feel deprived.

I do feel sorry for the mom and pop restaurants feeling the pain, as well as the employees at chains.

I'm with you here.

I hate it for local owned places. I hate it for folks who can't afford shite. I want stuff to be cheaper for myself. But how do you force a corporation to lower prices if those higher prices are generating more revenue and more profit? That's kind of their job, to do exactly that.
