Well, first of all, do you agree the government played a role in these high prices?

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 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.

Competition should take care of pricing.
Are corporate profits so high (compared to before this kind of inflation) currently that you don’t believe the higher prices are due to higher costs the corporations are facing?
