      The stupid shit tho is five years ago the candy would go on sale the day after and it $4 a bag. The candy is not expensive and the candy is probably somehow circulating from 5 years ago. Is all supply and demand, fucking capitalism.

        Yeah that’s what’s so shocking about it, these bags would be $5 only a few years ago. And I remember how painfully impoverished large swaths of the country were then.

        I cannot imagine how the average American in the Midwest is surviving at the moment.
