The ridiculous cost of fast food now

[kmk1012]

Wife would order a jr bacon cheeseburger and I would order a daves double meal, we would split the drink and the fries for $11.00 total.

Now it is $16.90 for an increase of 53% (we're out)

Lying Fox News says inflation is 19% over all since the Rona.

Name something that went up only 19%.
It's not food, gasoline, utilities, insurance, rent...

You forgot wages in the last part!

Sadly ALL "news sources" use the numbers that are put out by agencies who guess what, are part of the Gov. Anyone with a brain knows we are often being lied to about how bad it is but, tell the "truth" and all you would get is bombarded with "proof" that it was a lie. Statistics can be made to say anything you want them to say. So inflation numbers are played with a LOT. If you want to see this play out fast just watch what happens if the GOP wins the next election. In a very short time we will see "news" of how bad things suddenly became. Sadly this is what the "public" wants, so "news" feeds them what they want to see.
