Taking a moment to thank the creators of Lemmy, who get boatloads of abuse and zero appreciation from the commie/tankie haters. I don't always agree with their politics, I do on enough, but fact is, none of us would be here, without them.
I mean, with inflation being what it has been since covid, you can understand why his reaction was disappointment (while still believing it to be true) rather than laughing at the idea of paying $5 for 1 bottle, as I would have done 5 years ago.
"No really, what is it? Like $0.70? A dollar???? Whoooo boy. Pushing it to expensive with that dollar price......FIVE DOLLARS???? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Ok, no, really what is it? Like $0.80?"
And now if that sign says $5 we all just hang our heads in disgrace and accept that THIS is where inflation is right now.
Granted that's NOT what it is, but you'll excuse us for thinking this is where we are now.
