And I I thought £6 was expensive for 4 pieces here! Looks like there are at least 6 pieces there.. So over $6 a piece.. Ouch!

It is insane, the cost of housing and food is making it extremely difficult to survive in this country, and I have a decent job. I can't imagien how those without will get by.

Australia is even worse!

The cost of food has been through the roof for years, and keeps rising.

My wife and I both work full-time, however we need to consume lesser-quality items, always the running-out-of-date “specials”, pass on anything that is not needed for strict nutrition.

Given these prices, one doesn’t live to eat, you eat to live, basically.

We can’t afford to go out and have a good time, that is if we are serious about paying our mortgages, our bills, saving for the next manufactured crisis, saving for our old age, saving for the kids’ future, paying for speeding fines and other government extortion rackets, funding out of school activities for the kids...

If you are serious about using your resources efficiently, this is paying your bills and ensuring your family doesn’t fall a step back every year, then you stay home and eat whatever is on sale.

Haven’t had a holiday in over a decade.

Way back when, if you were a hard worker you would thrive. Nowadays it just gives you the privilege to try to keep your mouth above the shit while fighting not to drown in it.

All the above is notwithstanding you get sick. If you happen to have a medical problem, even if it’s caused by whatever is not food that was in your food, suicide is the only way to save your family from the consequences.

I'm preaching to the choir, but whatever.

Taxes. Any time taxes go up, everything must go up. Fuel goes up. Costs of drying down grain goes up -- A farm in Saskatchewan just got handed a bill for over $4-6 thousand for natural gas costs to dry grain. It jumped from a few hundred dollars to that because of the Carbon Tax. Then they're trucking it to Vancouver and Toronto from Alberta and Saskatchewan because guess what? Most of your food is grown in those places. Then it's packaged and shipped back across the country... and so on. A bit hyperbole in my rant but it gets the point across.

Now here's the real kicker... Those prices you see today are the results of tax increases 3-4 years ago. The new taxes imposed today such as the carbon tax which started this year haven't even fully trickled through the whole system. You think you're chicken is bad now? Hooo boy! You ain't seen nuttin' yet! For more in depth analysis here's a Quick Dick video on the matter (you tube com/watch?v=6B0dCxBCQyg)
