It's very depressing to go to the grocery store and every time it now costs me $45-60 per bag of groceries. And I'm just a single, childless adult who knows how to live cheaply. I shudder to think about what it costs to feed a typical family in this day and age. And no one in our government seems to really care about it at all. They brag about bringing inflation down, but I need prices not to just increase at a slower rate, but to actually decrease. It's deeply depressing to know I can't save for the future when the now is just so expensive.

The government is out of touch and lives in a different universe!
I hate the word inflation and other fancy words to describe high prices! I see you’re in Canada and not the USA but I think it’s global, like the climate crisis.
The government also has inaccurate data on things like the number of unemployed or homeless. Since they just count claims, the unemployment rate is much higher because people don’t get counted when dropped from the system. This happens when they run out of benefits.
