ghost_shitPartner is worrying about eating too much fish because capitalist bastards have put all the mercury into the ocean.
We could have been on top of all diseases, and ended poverty by now, but we* chose to be #racist, #capitalist #fascists instead.

Growing your own food is a great way of reclaiming a little bit of your power - and it's great for the local environment.
I'm currently tending to a modest crop of an heirloom variety called 'Rich Cunts'. It is quite a fussy variety, and requires exacting conditions in which to thrive, but I think my care and effort will be worth it when it comes to harvest time. I don't think I'll bother trying to save the seeds.
So anyway, #Coles brand tasty #cheese was $9.00 for a 1kg block in 2019 (I know this, because I was experimenting with creating smoked cheese for my people, and I purchased it often). The same Coles brand tasty cheese is now $14.00, despite the "PRICE LOCKED" tag that's been there the whole time.
Temporary price rises due to #COVID lockdowns and the like are to be expected in a market-based economy: shortages make sense when nobody can go to work farming/making/processing/delivering cheese.
However, COVID isn't a thing anymore, according to Western governments and Western "news services".
If COVID is no longer a thing, cheese prices *should* return to 2019 levels (give or take a bit to account for #inflation, #ClimateCatastrophe, #MarketForces, and the like). Yet, cheese prices continue to skyrocket.
Please excuse my economic illiteracy here, but if a previous crisis is no longer a crisis, your pricing should stabilise, so that your customers don't have to choose between medication and food.
