A lot of the unnecessary products from the grocery store. I used to like to drink Powerade. Welp, price went up 60%. Don't buy those anymore. I would occasionally buy those theater-style boxes of candy. Price went up 50%. Don't buy those anymore. Bags of chips? Could have swore these were $3 a bag, not $5. Cross those off the list.
Doritos.

Wages in the bottom quartile went way up, wages in every other quartile went slightly down except top which went way down. This is what income equality looks like

A big part of this was during the immigration ban from covid, but they're kind of still going up and I'm not totally sure why.

I had a bug report at a multinational client, they're like "so and so says their zero decimal currency is being represented with .00 on the end". I'm like "what backwards butt country are we dealing with that doesn't have decimal places in their money"? Well, there's your answer.

Article after article is coming out recently about there being a massive disconnect between the actual economy, and what people believe about the economy. It's genuinely weird, and genuinely worrisome, because these morons will frick up a great economic situation simply because they feel it's bad somehow. Inflation is and was minimal, wages are up, unemployment is as low as it's ever been, stock market's OK, consumer spending is fine, and so on and so forth. You have to look really deep to find anything to complain about, but these r-slurs act like it's 1973 and there are lines for gas plus double-digit inflation and unemployment. And if you say that the sky isn't falling you're a neoliberal chud shill, though no one can actually explain what exactly you're meant to be shilling for... But thinly-veiled communist agitprop about The End Times of capitalism, oh, that's organic.
As always, social media ruins everything. My favorite phenomenon is people bitching about housing prices constantly, and then it turns out 62% of millennials own a home, while 69% of boomers owned homes at the same age. Shit's fine.
