Why do I not see daily stories about rising food prices?

[edhopper]

Because they certainly are.

It's like the Media has a double standard or something.

[Bluestocking]

1. The fascists own the media

This is what a Fascist Oligarchy looks like

2. Captive media

The NBA gambling 'scandal' will dominate the news for weeks.

3. B/c there's a Republican

in office.

4. Luckily the public doesn't need news stories to tell them that prices are

going UP--- contrary to Trump's lying promise that they would go DOWN on 'Day One'...


We all buy groceries, and polls show that we are PLENTY pissed off about "Trump inflation"---


(That's a phrase we should all start using---- "Trump Inflation" !)

5. We just heard about the beef prices because the American beef farmers are angry at Trump

for even thinking of introducing Argentinian beef.

That's what it takes to get the media's attention.

7. It's hilarious because the ranchers are making massive profits on the back of the consumers

Trump is actually correct: his tariffs have led to these profits! Of course, the consumer is SOL, and Trump now recognizes that the mood is souring because nobody can afford a fucking meatloaf.

But the ranchers, who are used to arguing against liberal price controls, have to now wage an argument against monarchical price controls, a type of class struggle that the bourgeoisie haven't had to fight since the 18th century. It's actually comical if you could put a meal on the table without spending your whole paycheck.

9. You got it right.

6. Trump knows meat prices are through the roof...it's actually amazing that it's not a media story

Grocery bills are insane right now.

You can eat your ideology for a little while, but not forever.

8. Food costs alone this year for me is up 20%, business expenses up 10% You will not hear anything from corporate media

nor the russian paid influencers about it.

10. I'm sure we'll blame it on media, but they've been busy reporting on trump's egohall because it's viral.

Food is a good point, though. Luckily, most folks having to cut back notice it everyday.
