Controlling inflation will hopefully be the main discussion around the next election, I am tired of watching the political theater around small side-issues and then paying $8 for milk and $6 for peanut butter. Why is our labor becoming worth less in real goods? Why is life expectancy decreasing? Can politicians address issues that affect every single person every day?

I make good money in tech but it still feels like more than 4k/mo (in California) is what you need just to cover rent and basics (car, internet, phone, groceries, etc.). I have no idea how people working minimum wage jobs are surviving.
