      I mean, because the left and center are concerned more with the collapse of democracy and the rule of law and the right wants all brown people to die.

        Possibly because you are a Xitter user, where 90% of the user base is bots.

          I'd say it's because during Biden's term he was running a fairly basic administration and during the run-up to the election, inflation was something they (repubs) could use to rile up the base, but now not only is the election long over, there's so much new horrible stuff every day (both real and made-up) in the spotlight that inflation pales in comparison.

            In part because people got used to those prices rising. But mostly because the media couldn't generate clicks discussing it anymore.

              Killing all the brown people was how we were supposed to get cheap eggs. The brown people were making our eggs expensive so we had to spend $600M on an Everglades concentration camp

                What's crazy is that ground beef is practically a waste product. You can get it for under $4/lb in Houston. Hell, come by certain grocery stores at the end of the day and they're trashing buckets of it.

                $6.12 for something that's filling up garbage cans and landfills to the tune of 429.2 million lbs in 2022 alone? Seems like Americans are getting price gouged.

                    Oh, man. I haven't thought about Ramit in years. He used to do a blog called "I will teach you to be rich" or something like that.

                    Surprised he's not a Trump voter, to be honest.

                      Because it’s* worth it seems the likely answer.

                      I find it interesting you put the asterisk on the first it whereas i would have put it on the second. I wonder why that is!

                        I think it’s less about ‘worth it’ and more about how mainstream right wing propaganda news networks assign opinions to their viewers. If their media isn’t talking about it, they don’t care. (Epstein files notwithstanding.)

                            Whilst I am profoundly disconcerted by the egregiously inflationary trajectory of alimentary commodification, my consternation is exponentially exacerbated by the preposterous proclivity of certain individuals to gratuitously employ grandiloquent and recondite verbiage in a transparently ostentatious endeavor to simulate intellectual superiority.

                              It really is incredible how much land is used, pollution created, and environmental devastation caused to create more waste for landfills, furthering the aforementioned problems. Meanwhile, folks starve next door and around the globe. Coming down from the trees was a terrible decision.

                                Steak mince vs ground beef are different things.

                                One is basically offal, the other could have been a steak. Unless they're using the term incorrectly, the price should be different.

                                      the average amount of red meat consumed a day on the earth per person is something like 2.2 ounces.

                                      seems like the price isn't high enough to make Americans recognize how a 1/4 pounder is twice that average in one item.
