@aloha-hoosier that's a different type too.
A different typish. We throw unlimited money at it and are extremely picky with the standards of people who are in the military (compared to a random government office in some random city). Not to mention they're highly incentivized to be the best (winning at war is a lot cooler than losing). Even with all that the military is still extremely inefficient and wasteful.
Grocery prices about to go up 10% in NY. Genius!
NY. LMAO. Food prices are up 33% nationally. Trump's tariffs and Trump's war are major contributing factors.
This isn’t soccer—you’re allowed your use your hands.@bulk-vh i waste an incredible amount of time on my phone trying to get the like, laugh, fire emoji to appear and if I hit the wrong one I’m cooked. I just have to hit my phone repeatedly, tapping in a desperate and sometimes futile attempt to correct the emotion I’m trying to convey.
What I would suggest you do is 1) make them bigger and 2) space them out a little bit. That fix alone would greatly enhance user experience. Thank you.
“improved in the last ten to fifteen years”
That puts the change starting in Trump’s first term. Coincidence or did his administration push this?
@hhlurker they cleaned it up after 1800 were infected there. That’s usually how these gov agencies work. CDC gets caught. Light on it. Then they spend the next decade plus cleaning it up

The 33% figure actually refers to the total cumulative increase in U.S. grocery (food-at-home) prices over a seven-year span since early 2019, driven largely by pandemic-era inflation and supply chain shifts.
Yeah I hit Gemini up on that one too. Bullshit detector went off the charts.
@bradstevens Yes. I didn't say "since '25" but I can see how that could be inferred. I should have been clearer.
I did say Trump's tariffs and war have been major contributing factors, not the only factors.
My primary point was that rising grocery prices are hardly just a New York phenomenon, but I understand that poster's orientation.
There’s one caveat though. I was pleasantly surprised to notice unit prices being the same but then I noticed they were putting less quantity in the units, speaking of vegetables in the vegetable aisle.
Sneaky Ass bitches
I'll still contend the vast majority of "normal" grocery stores (excluding Trader Joe's and other high end type stores) are making their nut mostly from the non-perishable items they sell. Hence why Walmart is by orders of magnitude the largest grocer in the country. It's a loss leader for them. Meijer has a similar model. Kroger has even moved to more non-perishable items as evidenced by the monstrosity in Fishers.There’s one caveat though.

Your point, like all your posts, was to type “Trump”….it’s truly an obsession
