I don't know how they think we're all going to survive with these prices.

i'm gonna assume this post refers to the US' prices.

it's definetely noticeable in germany, but i'll manage. my worker's union is currently negotiating prices with my employer, and so far it's looking pretty good.

but i pray for you guys, they really don't seem to make life worth living over there.

Could easily be Canada too

ETA: Here's a good video on Canada's and the states' inflation problems from an outside perspective.

I went to Germany this year and couldn't believe how cheap groceries were, easily half the price of Canada plus your salaries are way higher on average
