My sister blames Biden. THE ANTI VAXXERS are really responsible. No one wants to work around "the Karen's" and the covid spreaders, so workers just won't work. And THAT causes prices to skyrocket. SKYROCKET!!!!! So I tell her don't blame Biden, BLAME YOURSELF because if you are blaming Biden I would bet that YOU are not vaccinated. And.... she isn't vaxxed.
Yet... I think some of the price hikes are simple greed. When is a better time for the Dollar Stores to raise prices??? A lot of rents and utilities are going up too because Social Security gave folks on SS a pretty big hike in benefits. I think 5.9 %. So.... knowing the old folks got a little more money to spend then why would they not raise prices? That 5.9% was suppose to offset what had already taken place with rising prices, but when the cost of rents and goods rose after that 5.9% SS hike, then as usual the seniors on fixed income take the hit. And medicare went up too for 2022. so that 5.9% ends up being a negative 3% for seniors.
