I have a weird idea. Much of what I see the left promoting is very luxury. A luxury can be a fast food visit, a new console, or some cool new item. It's not necessary, but it's fun. The prices of these are going up.
Necessity items are gas, electricity, food in the fridge, and internet. The prices for these are going down.
There's a weird upper middle class that wants necessities as luxuries. This is the "Farmers Market" fresh, Whole Foods, and gaming PCs for work. The price going up makes them feel better, because they think the value goes up as well.
No idea how to explain this to a lefty.
When I was a kid the Farmers Market used to be actual farmers that would show up with baskets of whatever their farm product was. Most of the time you’d be buying from someone who was obviously a farmer or someone from their family. Hell I remember when I was 12 or so talking to just another white kid my age about computers who was there with their family selling farm stuff. The rest of it would be the crafty country people selling jams and pickled stuff. Most of it was very cheap and cheaper than the grocery store. Farmers get a bigger cut, we get cheaper food, etc.
Last couple times I went to one, it was Mexicans and if you looked closely they were unpacking them from Sysco boxes or something similar. You’d notice things we just didn’t grow—pineapple or oranges or something in the climate I was in. Why the hell is there pineapple for sale?
