On the plus side, Americans ain't gonna be as fat now that they gotta crowdfund their grocery bills.

First voters will punish the Democrats. Then if the Republicans don't fix it the voters will punish them. It is in the DNC and RNC's best interest to have 2 or even 3 more viable political parties to blame.

So if you have to pay 8% more on your groceries, is that really a big deal? Or am I not interpreting this correctly lol

I'm not saying I'm happy about it, but I'm trying not to live in fear because there's nothing I can do to stop it..

Inflation increases the prices of everything... It's a big deal for poor people who will be most affected.

8% doesn't sound like much but in the long run it adds up bigtime. But yeah I agree with not living in fear part cause there's really nothing we can do about it.

Just be thrifty and creative with your meals if the going gets tough.
