Why Are Prices Increasing? Part Three

donnie promised that if he got elected president, he would not just control inflation, he would cut prices immediately to 2019 levels.

So why, since he got elected, has the price of a lot of stuff gone up on grocers' shelves?

The people are beginning to get restive, donnie.

Immediately means immediately.

So, what's going on here, donnie?

Here are the top ten grocery items that have seen the most significant price increases since November 8, 2024.

Eggs: Prices jumped more than 8% in November alone.

Nuts: Varieties like almonds, walnuts, and pistachios have experienced rising costs.

Ground Beef: Prices have risen by almost 7%.

Whole Wheat Bread: Increased in price by over 6%.

Milk: Prices have seen a noticeable increase.

Cheese: Particularly aged varieties have become more expensive.

Chicken: Prices have gone up due to supply chain issues (donnie, I guess, will fix those "issues", post haste).

Fresh Vegetables: Certain vegetables have seen price hikes.

Coffee: Prices have increased due to higher production costs (donnie, I guess, will fix those "production costs", post haste).

Cereal: Prices have risen due to increased costs of grains. (donnie, I guess, will fix the cost of grains, post haste).

donnie, I guess will fix all that, post haste; he'd better because a lot of us out here in donnieLand are getting restive.

("Restive" means being unable to keep still or silent, often due to impatience, dissatisfaction, or boredom. It can describe both people and animals. For example, a restive audience might fidget and murmur during a long speech, or a restive horse might paw the ground and toss its head.)

Question is whose head?

Metaphorically speaking.

Better keep your eyes out for angry mobs with hog cutting knives, donnie.

Ya got a year.

Get those prices down immediately, like you promised.

See ya next November.

That's the year mark; for sure you should have all our prices down to 2019 levels by then.

I'll make an omelet in honor of that great achievement.

At the hog roast.
