    Real question is what the fuck am I supposed to do about it?
    Burning the place down hardly helps and our elected officials don’t give much of a shit, at least around here.
    I’m well paid, so it doesn’t matter too much for my family just yet, but there are people for whom this means food insecurity.
    I’m still pissed though, because I think people deserve to eat.

    One thing is… it’s expensive to save money.
    Buying in bulk isn’t as bad, but someone living paycheck to paycheck can’t afford that.
    I have a vacuum machine, the space to store things, freezers, etc.
    I can spend more money upfront to save on food in the long run, but not everyone can do this and it hits them even harder.
