I'm once again reminded how happy I am to live in Australia

Your fuel is still cheap in 'Murica, but you insist on owning stupid vehicles

I'd be unlucky if I spent 'Murican$200 a month on groceries (it's just me and my dog), but I eat proper food (no convenience food, nothing from a packet)

It's usually steak, roasted cuts, proper identifiable bits of animals with vegetables, salads etc.

No frozen pizzas or any of the processed shit

And I'm not on a particularly high income or anything

I have never had junk food delivered

I don't think Americans actually understand that they have mostly had a fat lazy life of convenience

Rocket Mortgage had this truly nasty commercial that showed some schlub walking towards his house with three bags of groceries while the voiceover says that it used to be six bags. Then the guy's house starts talking to him, reminding him that he has a tiny bit of equity in the house and he can get a second mortgage to pay for groceries. Then the guy starts dancing happily.

Just astonishing that a corporation can sell borrowing money for food as a good thing. Rocket Mortgage's owner Dan Gilbert also owns my favorite NBA team (Cleveland Cavaliers); I would be happy that they're getting the shit kicked out of them by the Knicks if it weren't for the fact that the Knicks' owner is just as big of a scumbag. At least Gilbert doesn't pretend to be a blues musician.

So... no eggs?

I’m a single man 43, when Donny was reelected my weekly grocery bill was about $80. As of march my groceries have cost me well over $170 and as of last week it is close to $200. So much winning we might get tired of all the winning.

I'm hungry a lot. I work part-time in a grocery store. I hate being an American.

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago

i’d steal here and there - the small things

I havent bought beef in a while

[–] jhdeval@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Me either I might by a pack of ground beef a week. Where I am it is nearly 6 us dollars a pound which translates to about 12 ish dollars for my family for one meal component. Chicken is not a lot better at around 4 dollars a pound.

[–] bufalo1973@piefed.social 1 points 27 minutes ago

The shitty chicken they sell you is at that price??? In Spain we are paying 6ish€/kg. And without bleach.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 11 hours ago

at one point I kinda wanted to give up pork but its both more affordable and lower on the environmental impact.

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 19 points 16 hours ago

I used to buy a lot more. The combination of getting laid off and only finding a shit job that pays shit (thanks AI) and inflation are the big factors.

Capitalists can go fuck themselves. If they want people to buy they need to pay us.

What will be the total effect on the US economy after the Orange Shit Show concludes? On the other hand, does this mean fewer animals will be slaughtered to feed obese AmeriKans?

[–] forkDestroyer@infosec.pub 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It won't dent animal food production. It will probably produce more food waste though. The corps will probably remain just as profitable, at the least

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 points 38 minutes ago

The only thing that would dent animal food production in the US is if the billionaires develop a taste for human flesh. It's possible they already have.

[–] IratePirate@feddit.org 10 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

It's only 61 percent because 38% have started stealing groceries. The remaining 1% steals from all the others, like it always has.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It’s only 61 because the 39 are Trump supporters and won’t admit they’re starving.

"After four years under By-den, I'm dying to own the libs..."

[–] Juan_de_Silentio@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago

Only 61%? My weekly grocery bill has gone from $100 to $150 on average. That's with cutting back by no longer buying snacks or nice cuts of meat.

So glad that PEDOnald the Pumpkinhead is focused on:

  1. Covering up the Epstein files
  2. Distracting from the Epstein files
  3. Starting wars and raising prices for everyone
  4. Kidnapping foreign leaders
  5. Plotting to steal resources (such as from Greenland and Venezuela)
  6. Disappearing gardners
  7. Babbling about "men in women's sports"
  8. Still fixated on better men and trying to trash-talk them because he has small dick energy (Biden, Obama)
  9. Engaging in obscene levels of fraud and corruption that will possibly set up himself and his crime family to be bankers to the world and deal himself so much money that it would embarrass Putin and make his crime family the richest in the world - https://www.unftr.com/trump-stablecoin (Stablecoin/USD1/GENIUS and Clarity Act)

Man, with how dumpy has acted over the last decade, his dick must be fucking microscopic. I don’t know enough about him to say how he acted before 2016, but I’m sure it was still small dick energy

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

staged like 3 shootings recently, to distract from the epstein files, also now the iran war hasnt been resolved, he needs the press to stop reporting that too.

3-9 is basically distracting the epstein files. something new always comes up about epstein, he needs a distraction again.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

not that it matters but yeah
