20% pay raise isn’t enough, though. My grocery bill is OVER 2x the money for the same items. That means we need an over 100% pay raise.

I said this a few months ago and I was downvoted lmao.
When grocery prices go from $4 to $8, that’s a 100% increase. Or when prices go from $2.50 to $8 that’s a 220% increase.
Might not seem so bad on paper, but when you add it all together on your full grocery bill, it’s turning the final bill from $100 to $200-250, which is bat shit insane.
I bought knock off mustard yesterday. Normal sized bottle. Cost me $8.
Rent went from $900 to $1600. Gas went from $1 to $2.20.
So ya. Everything has doubled or more.
