    The other 25% have others shop and cook for them and are completely detached from reality by design and it’s suits them just fine to be ill informed Americans. Some even revel in their ignorance of current affairs and boast about it gleefully on social media.

      If I was still making the $82K I had at my last job, I would have hardly noticed. “Huh. Seems prices are up a bit.”

      You hardly have to be rich for grocery prices to be a non-issue.

      Lol 25% of the country does not have people shopping and cooking for them. That’s probably more like 1%.

      Unless you are counting people who only use doordash and instacart because they are too busy working to shop or cook. Then you might get to double digits, but I wouldn’t consider those people rich.
