Ok explain why the prices in my local supermarkets go up every three weeks. Go ahead. Whats the argument.

I'm not an expert in macroeconomics but I'd say some global effects are likely due to the invasion of Ukraine (global exporter of wheat) ABC News and US Gov, the rising price of oil (some fertilizer uses fossil fuels)NBC, and possibly that the world has changed due to Covid and that a lot of things had shifted along with it CNN. A country that once was in the top 5 of grain exporters dropping off the global map is going to shake things quite a bit and oil unfortunately affects so many different markets.

Thank you for the explanation :)

I know all this. We can go through all sorts of explanation to see why, it still does not make it okay.

Let's say for the sake of the argument and not remotely because I believe it is the case nor any other reason than for the sake of the argument, your prices go up due to inefficiency, that doesn't change the fact a increase in pricing doesn't prove inefficiency. Just that sometimes it is the reason.

My pet is a dog. Not all pet are dogs. The existence of pets doesn't prove the existence of dogs nor are all pets dogs.

Do you keep paying those prices every three weeks? There's your answer.

We need water, so uh, what do you think lmao. The cost of necessities going up and still paying for it doesn’t equate to it being acceptable, bootlicker.

You're paying for water at your local supermarket?wtf is wrong with you?

What kind of fucking moron gets water from a supermarket?! If you have to buy water from a shop, why don't you get it from a distillery? Fuck you're dumb and deserve everything wrong in your life.

People like me with specific diseases or issues need a specific brand we can get from supermarkets or the source itself. I cant drink filtered tap water or other stuff or i might actually die. Ever thought about that scenario? To me water is medicine and absolutely an expense. Back the fuck off and tone it down with the swearing. Shame on you! Username checks out. Don’t bother replying you are blocked.

this is some stupid bullshit. if he thinks there's magic water, he's insane.

but mostly, he fucking retarded, because I said "distilled" and he ignored that, and wrote "filtered", so that he could strawman to "win" an argument about how he's not dumb as shit.

jfc, people. this is why Lemmy sucks.
