Jokes aside chicken wings have had some of the biggest price swings over the past two years. Chicken in general has, but the wings at my local butcher went from $2.50 per pound up to $5.75 a pound and back down to $3.50 a pound. It was almost like gas prices at times.

that are outrageously high.

You could still see an arena show for $80 or under in 2019, and now the promoters have decided there is a specific price point for concerts to get in the door, and if it doesn’t get there, they cancel the tour rather than have supply and demand affect the overall price point

McDonald’s is a $20+ meal now (not that I actually buy “meals” there, usually just two McDoubles, but even that’s like $9 now when they were $1.99 forever basically

I can’t eat at a fancy restaurant for $9-$20, but I’m willing to pay a few extra bucks at this point for the difference, it was one thing when $4 was my costs

This isn’t mildly infuriating, this is overwhelming infuriating.

I was watching Mary Poppins Returns the other day, and said to myself that Walt Disney would be rolling in his grave if he saw what Iger and Chapek had done to Disney and the parks since the mid-2010s.
