I just want to read Spark Mandrilll's opinions on this debate.

Why? He's a fag. His opinion doesn't matter.

Chicago Sun-Times didn't get the memo.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdogs/2026/02/13/grocery-prices-chicago-climbed-inflation-trump-cpi-food

Grocery prices in Chicago have climbed double digits over the past year despite Trump's vow to lower them
The Sun-Times has been checking the prices of 35 common grocery items at four Chicago stores for the past year and most items haven’t become cheaper.

Nah, that can't be right. Fake news.

Fatass lives in Tennessee, and things are great. So, what you shared must be inaccurate.

Try again.

To take the politics and the bullshit out of it...

You're talking to someone on here that grew up dirt ass poor. Literally. Dirt. I lived in a trailer in Rantoul until I was 10. There were nights that when I was hungry my mom gave me a piece of bread and told me to fold it in half. Bread sandwich. And I ate that, then I laid down because I didn't have energy. I didn't want to play because I was hungry.

I don't honestly know what my parents did as far as assistance. I'm sure they were getting it, but it wasn't enough to keep my belly full.

When I grew up, I promised myself that I would have enough. Always. That's all I ever wanted. Just enough.

Now, I do have enough, and maybe even a little bit more. Not enough to brag like Fatass, but I have enough and I'm doing well. When I want to go out to eat, I don't think about it too much. When I want to go to a game, I go. Basically, I have the ability to do whatever. And that's great. But I also know that I'm one bad phone call or business decision from not having those luxuries. And I think a lot of us are in that boat too, whether we want to admit that or not.

One call from your boss saying "we are going in a different direction, thanks see ya later" will change your life. And there is nothing you can do about it.

So, then, an "able bodied" (according to dipshit Judy) person needs help, and suddenly I, or someone else, gets looked down on by a piece of shit like Judy because, hey, you're able bodied. Why should I have to pay for you?!

Nah, fuck that. Fuck people like JudgeJudy. And fuck people like Fatass. Fuck all of you assholes. We're all out here trying to survive. Yeah, some of us are comfortable now, but we're one crazy decision away from being really damn uncomfortable. And I will be fucking damned if a piece of shit like JudgeJudy tells me, or anyone else how to live.

Fuck you.

Hope that was clear and concise.

You fuckers want to know what's crazy?

Sometimes, I eat a bread sandwich. Just two fucking pieces of bread, mashed together. To remember where I came from.

Maybe some of you assholes need to remember where you came from too...

well said.

I didn't grow up poor. My Dad worried about money constantly - I attribute that to his family being a half notch below the family he created, and stories of the depression he grew up with. He wasn't fanatical about it, but you would notice things like given three options at a restaurant, he might eliminate the one he didn't like and then take the cheaper of the two remaining. Guac is extra? No Guac. Fix his own car, appliances, he built my bed frame in his workshop. A lot of that is just common sense or investment in self, but it adds up and by the time he passed they were very comfortable. I started another half notch up but took the lessons, I have co-workers with Porsches, my wife and I share one car and I bike to work.

That sort of sense of things built in my the understanding - no child in this rich ass country should be eating a bread sandwich, or having a growling stomach. Why the fuck are their means qualifiers for free school lunches? School lunches are dirt cheap. Just make it free, stop paying the administrators, and feed the kids. It pays massive dividends in children's outcomes - both from removing hunger and stigmas.

Removing literal hunger doesn't remove the hunger to achieve - but literal hunger can get in the way of achievement.

I don't know. I remember going to school with a piece of bread in a brown paper bag because my mom couldn't, or didn't want to buy hot lunch tickets.

I made sure to fold the bread so it looked like a real sandwich lol

Yeah, it was a hell of a way to live. But that was my normal. It sucked.

Don't know if school lunches are the answer if ketchup is classified as a vegetable, but it's sure better than nothing.

If we had the moxie to fix the first problem, the second problem would be trivial.

Ask a piece of shit like Judy how he feels about a kid getting a lunch at school. Even though he took money from my paycheck.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdogs/2026/02/13/grocery-prices-chicago-climbed-inflation-trump-cpi-food

Grocery prices in Chicago have climbed double digits over the past year despite Trump's vow to lower them
The Sun-Times has been checking the prices of 35 common grocery items at four Chicago stores for the past year and most items haven’t become cheaper.

From your story:

Quote
At Walmart, many of the 35 items on our list dropped in price more often than they rose compared to one year ago. Seventeen items went down, totaling $9.60 in savings; seven items increased by a total of $5.81; seven stayed the same; and four didn’t have enough data to be tracked.

The more upscale stores didn’t come down because they know people will pay it. At least for a while. The “affordability crisis” is objectively the worst in blue cities/states, these people are so used to being fleeced for fucking everything that they get numb to it right up until the point the bills exceed the income.

Commodity prices are low. Energy prices are low. Most of the things that go into making and distributing food are pretty cheap right now. So if prices keep going up at your store, you’re getting fucked by Big Food and your grocer. 

(Yes, some things like beef are supply constrained because herd size is low and demand remains high or imported stuff like coffee that are subject to tariffs)
