People old enough may remember Trump making noises about lowering grocery prices way back in 2024. Well, now we’re tracking how well that’s going — just in time for his tariffs to kick in. Gift link: wapo.st/3E052cZ

Bezos putting a price tracker behind a paywall is perfectly on brand. No notes.

Why on earth is that labeled “opinion”? The whole point of the article is that it’s tracking facts.

The numbers are facts, but the act of "tracking them" is "opinion" under this Regime.
Same take this Regime has with tracking anything else, like measles, sars2, TB, etc etc.

Well at least Truck Fump can still afford to stuff his face with Big Macs. And that's the success he'll babble on and on about.

Looks great. But having decreases in green and increases in red is a bit confusing. Just something to consider.

In this essay I will track how boomers used “millennials” to complain about college students in the 2000’s then Gen X picked up “hipster” as the term for people in their twenties between ‘01-‘16, and then “millennials” became the catch all ‘20 somethings” from Boomers w bonus “born before 97” from Z

Haven't had to buy eggs in a couple of weeks. But definitely noticing the increases on a number of things I buy weekly. So far the only things I haven't noticed an increase on are bottled water, bananas and fruit bars.
Got gas the other day and shyt was just under $3 a gallon. I don't recall the last time it was that high here in KS.

Eggs are $2.99 for 12 today in ShopRite. I just brought 36.
I personally haven’t seen much of a change in pricing, however, I started going to the farmer’s market for fruit and vegetables and it’s much cheaper. Got 3lbs of grapes for $2.49.

I was expecting producers and conglomerates to level or lower prices. In solidarity to trumps first 100 days, but that hasnt been the case. But they so greedy, they dont care to give a little.
Gas has lowered around me which is a good sign. But other things still kinda stay high.

In one of the country’s poorest areas, the quantity and quality of government deliveries have dropped, forcing one charity to make do with thin soup and dried cranberries.
