minus-squarequeermunist she/her@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·5 hours ago that’s a 40% increase in my oats? No, it’s a 3.5% increase cost in your oats based on inflation numbers. It’s not a lot, but for some people that’s the difference between having oats today or having hunger for breakfast. You’re really out of touch with how precarious people’s lives are.

minus-squarequeermunist she/her@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·27 minutes agoYeah no shit, but the price of housing keeps going up and the price of oats keeps going up. Both things are getting worse now, whereas before housing was expensive but you could at least still afford to eat.
