It’s not just eggs. Many commonly purchased goods and services got more expensive in January, driving inflation in the wrong direction and to its highest rate since June of last year.
Oh good, I’m sure this will be covered in my annual “merit increase” that’s not called a Cost of Living Adjustment because it doesn’t actually adjust for cost of living.
Yes, but it’s under inflation every year so real wages are still going down. Yet somehow the C-suite can afford to give themselves raises above inflation, even while grumbling about funding and cutting positions left and right. Weird how that works.
