Man, those numbers are outrageous.
Some of them are BS as a lot of that stuff I buy regularly, so something is going on with vendors or west coast costs or something, because those are not universal increases.

I just did a google search for many of those items and many of them are coming up accurate from the article.Some of them are BS as a lot of that stuff I buy regularly, so something is going on with vendors or west coast costs or something, because those are not universal increases.

Some even higher.
Jumbo White Onion 50 lb.
These 50 lb. jumbo white onions have a thinner, paper-like skin and a sharper, more pungent flavor than yellow onions. These onions are perfect for dicing, mincing, or slicing. White onions are great for adding flavor to almost any recipe.<br><br>Add sliced or diced raw onion to tacos, burgers...www.webstaurantstore.com
This was just one example.
Yeah, this isn't shocking at all. And I'm seeing some try to say that wages are keeping up, which is nonsense. Wages are going up, but they always...always lag inflation. Purchasing power is down across the board. People have to work multiple jobs in many cases to maintain a standard of living when at one time a full time job was previously sufficient.
Agree, increases in wages takes years to have an impact if any at all. The real problem/culprit was the huge amounts of money printing the federal reserve did, of which a huge majority went to banks. Also you insight about multiple jobs is what is making the unemployment numbers so robust and how we get this illusion of adding jobs when they are second and third jobs being added rather than career type jobs.Yeah, this isn't shocking at all.

I cant say wages are going up for my company, pay raises have gone down from 5% to 1.5% now and that started last year on top of a temporary salary reduction due to Covid. Lets talk job market, as there are jobs out there for my occupation as a project manager but I am hard pressed to find anyone to match my salary for a lateral move much less find a higher paying one.Yeah, this isn't shocking at all.
