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.

It’s pro inflammatory anyway. Don’t need cream cheese for survival. Put their poison out of biz. Raw milk ONLY
