Connection between high grocery prices and January 6th

The biggest problem people are having around me and in my groups turning them to trump is the high cost of groceries. Kitchen table issues are what is hurting Democrats. People are blaming inflation, even though it's only 2.4% when they should be blaming stores like Publix raising prices and grabbing a 49% increase in profits since 2022. That would be 2022 when Republicans lost elections they thought they would win...and prices shoot up. Who is it that is the Publix heiress?? Julie Fancelli who gave 3 million dollars to the January 6th Insurrection effort. So if she can't steal the election with violence, she will try stealing it with high prices by making voters unhappy with their lives under Biden. One store raises prices, they all do

Think about this.. The rich don't want any democrat in control because the taxes they will face will cut into their billions significantly
more than it will affect any of us. They will do anything to keep us out of power including pouring millions into campaigns against democrats. It's a good investment for them because their money will largely be taxed less under trump and nothing he does to us will cause thrm any issues. They can just hop on their private jets and spend a couple of years in Europe counting their money. We are the only ones left holding the bag. The rich control us in whatever way they can. Please share this the next time someone complains about high prices. We are all getting played.

Conventional eggs down to $2/dz on sale. Strawberries .99/#. Whole chickens .99/#. Milk $5 for 2 gallons. Shop the sales (that $7 mayo will be on sale once a month for $4 or less). Soda and snack foods are still pretty pricy if not on sale, but they are not nutritious so skipping them is actually healthier.

Eating out is still more expensive than before. Local mom and pop affordable dinners/meals have gone up $2-4, so 20% tip goes up as well. We never ate out that much anyway.

Wages are stable after year or so of raises.
