Doing absolutely nothing meaningful about inflation is why our next president is going to be an overt and unapologetic fascist. (Granted, they’ll come up with a better name for it.) The foreclosure crisis and Obama’s failure to address it properly is what got Trump elected the first go-around.
The recession happened in 07/08 under Bush. Obama didn’t take office until January 2009. Trump won because these two private parties control everything about our election process and one of them put up a candidate that almost nobody liked to the point that a failed businessman and reality TV star was somehow more appealing.
It doesn’t matter when the recession started. When you don’t do something about a preexisting problem, it becomes your policy.
Millions of people lost their homes when Obama was president, and Democrats were somehow shocked that people who lost their homes wouldn’t vote for someone campaigning on continuing Obama’s policies. (Policies that included criminalizing the poor and demonizing Occupy.)
What’s even more fucked is the alternative of making your own dog food isn’t an option because human food is expensive af too! Want to try to eat healthy? Fuck you
“our costs have gone up amidst am inflationary environment and we have had no choice but to increase prices. Oh hey don’t look at our financial statements, the fact that we made record profits is irrelevant.”
What’s the recourse? Do we start feeding our dogs homemade dog food instead?
Yea pretty much. As much as I mull over solutions it always comes back to returning to our roots, which happens to be impossible at this point with the current population crisis. I’d imagine redistributing the wealth to alleviate these things would be extremely hard, would probly take a war to get going, or start multiple little wars in the process. It’s really pretty bad. Worse than people like to think. I dont know where we go from here. That’s part of the problem and why we maintain the status quo.
For now you can probly start approximating what is in that food with your scraps, like back in the day. I don’t really know and I hate not knowing shit lol. (Why I’m here)
We have to go full Star Trek and remove profit and personal gain as the motive for doing everything. In the meantime I guess it’s time to start reading up on what a dog’s diet should be.
Haha i agree, but getting there is the hard part. Theres so much infrastructure built up around a messed up system that all we can do is slowly change and crawl towards our ultimate goals.
I’d be curious to see someones experience on this, and get the lowdown on if it’s cheaper and more efficient, and if so, how much money they saved etc.
That would be nice, although remember what started it all in 2063 2053 :/
Yeah, and my food (Nutro) not only keeps increasing their price, but lowering the amount. Went from 32lb bag to 28lb
