    Oddly, bananas seem to be one of the few items relatively untouched by inflation.

        Ah that chronic brain worm hasn’t gone away… It is super handy to have a general purpose all-evil evidence-free adversary to blame everything on.

      They’ve gone up quite a bit in my corner of the US. They used to be 30 cents a pound and now they’re 53 cents per pound for the same product at the same store in the last few months.

        Hm, you’re right, they’re 69 Canada cents/lbs and they used to be half that. I only buy two at a time so like I don’t notice. They’re still affordable in absolute terms, right?

          Oh absolutely. I forget which government subsidizes it but they should be a lot more expensive considering the trip and handling required.
