They keep raising prices, stating that it’s due to inflation, but then they keep having record profits.

Meanwhile, the average American can barely afford rent or food nowadays.

What are we to do? Vote? I have been but that doesn’t seem to do much since I’m just voting for a representative that makes the actual decisions.

    While those do exist where I live, the selection is usually limited to fruits and vegetables.

    On top of that, the ones around here are time limited (growing season only; weekends only; etc).

      Agreed. Ones near me (in Texas) usually have meats, eggs, nuts etc. But, to your point, this last summer it was so hot almost all of the chickens for all of the farmers stopped laying eggs. So we just couldn’t get eggs from the for half the summer.

      It’s not a great option, but I think it is one of the only options we have against large corporations.
