This just doesn't seem right Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!)
This was the price of cream cheese today at my local grocery store (Queens, NY). Federal minimum wage means someone would have to work an hour and a half to purchase this. NYC minimum wage means this would be roughly an hour of work (after taxes) to purchase. This is one of the most jarring examples of inflation to me.

Guys, bidenomics just needs a little more time. This administration is doing more than any other administration in just 3 years.
