This is so true. Like the problem isn’t the cost of eggs; it’s the fact that small farms are being squeezed out by corporations.

Similarly, the cost of gas isn’t the real issue. It’s that we are still so heavily reliant on fossil fuels. And the war with Iran isn’t bad because of gas prices; it’s bad because we are spending billions fighting a war on behalf of a genocidal apartheid regime.
