I’m a historian and I look at things historically. Sure throughout most of history human beings have scrounged and script absolutely through most of history. However we have the technology that none of that is necessary now. We have very successfully found systems that make our general population wealthy, which throughout most of human history the masses were impoverished and there were a handful of Rich, and it was only in every single moment throughout history when the masses demanded that the rich don’t hoard, that the middle class ever gained ground or even existed at all. Ever. Ever. We did the most successful version of it with heavy regulation and high taxation of the wealthy and big business during the after great depression era under the new deal as well as use that money to create country ride good paying jobs through infrastructure under Eisenhower. which is also why our infrastructure boomed to becoming the pinnacle of the world in new technologies and advancements. We continued that until the 80s, but it was gradually being torn down by the Rich before then. The 80s is just the first time it was heavily implemented. And it has been a striking downward turn of which every family has been feeling every generation sense. having stuff doesn’t change the fact that regular life of things that are essential like having a roof over your head have gone out of control while wages are lacking, And it’s not about spending. It’s also not about production. The truth is that though manufacturing has left United States production is higher today than it was during the peak of our manufacturing era. The only difference between today and then is that it used to be that when production went up, the worker got a cut of the pie And instead the workers wage is staying stagnated while the CEO has taken that extra pay, which is why CEO pay has gone from 300% above the average worker to 3000% today. Well that is 2700% workers pay that they have been stealing. Everybody’s figuring out the differences and quality of life. But all that other stuff isn’t necessary. Because we have all the tools to have that 1950s economy whenever we want it.

I’m also confused as to why wheat is putting on this list as we are one of the largest producers in the world of wheat and oats. I was expecting to see things like tomatoes, avocados bananas a lot of the fresh produce that we get from South America. So this is coming as a surprise to me as to why they’re suggesting this. Now I can’t understand our farms are having a labor shortage which is definitely going to impact us so maybe that is what this is discussingas that is definitely doomed to hit us soon enough.

What really upsets me is aside from the fact that CEOs have been stealing worker pay for the last 45 years and putting it in their own pockets that they on top of it have gouged. And I don’t mean through real inflation where supplying demand goes up, but through where they just charge more because they know you’ll pay for it. They have openly said so in the past.. It’s really started the heavy gouging after George Bush Junior with oil companies that we’re charging fourfold for absolutely zero reason. They had gone to court for it, and I watched the court case of which was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever witnessed. And it caused the housing bubble collapse. They blame that collapse on Wall Street in the housing bubble that’s true also but it started with gas companies, gouging fourfold for no reason. They said that China was expanding and they were guessing wrong on their hedging. But they kept hedging wrong every single year for four years creating record profits every single year at astronomical numbers taking gas from $.97 a Gallon to four dollars a gallon. Or more. Just because they could. Which is why I think that essentials like oil should not be a private industry. It literally crashed and killed the strongest economy we’ve had since the 80s. When everything goes up for fold what you’re making can’t be compensated with a small raise. People can’t handle twice as much, which is what just happened again under Covid and it was mostly just Companies gouging. They’ve been companies being sued for it because they’re gouging was so ridiculous. They just doubled the price. And we are back to getting the same stuff as easy and yet the prices still remain high because they’re still just gouging. Which is technically illegal, but the government has to enforce it and they’re not. And here we are in a manufactured loss which means it’s just more gouging in this time it’s by the government who is going to access themselves for their own personal gain well, when our taxes don’t do anything for us or our society for the better then why are we getting them taxed

I don’t get why milk and dairy and meat are a threat. We produce those more than anyone those are local foods. I understand if they’re imports, but those aren’t imports so why?

Anybody who is doing a statistic and you’re suggesting that in Irish people are only spending 20% on essentials are mistaken. They are not only spending 100% on embarrassed essentials many of them are below water on those essentials.
