Onion Prices Reach Record Highs; Data Center Security Guards Secure Soup Contracts for Three Years

Onion prices have surged to unprecedented levels, setting new records in markets across the country. Traders report that supply shortages, rising transportation costs, and increased demand have all contributed to the sharp increase, placing pressure on households and restaurants alike.

In response to the soaring prices, security guards working at several major data centers have taken an unusual step to manage costs. The guards have collectively signed contracts to secure soup supplies for the next three years, aiming to stabilize their food expenses amid ongoing market volatility.

Industry analysts say the spike in onion prices reflects broader trends in food inflation, which continues to impact consumers and businesses. Meanwhile, the long-term soup contracts highlight how workers are adapting creatively to rising living costs.

Market observers will be watching closely to see whether onion prices stabilize in the coming months or continue their upward trajectory.

Won't bother me, I despise onions. Cry, onion lovers, cry.

I have the HDDs, but I can't get a nas at a decent price at all. These fucking billionaires have to go or they will happily end us all before taking their claws out

HDD prices have been creeping up for a while now. I noticed this as I was looking to add more storage to my server, checked prices late last year, figured I'd hold off a bit longer, checked again a few weeks ago and they were much higher across the board. Also a lot less stock for higher capacities. Took the plunge, bought enough storage to get me through the next few years.

Glad I did as the drives I bought have continued going up in price. This article just confirms it for me.

Let's just pray my anime harddrive doesn't fail meanwhile...
