I totally get that inflation is real and affecting many right now. However . . . . why is it that all businesses seem to jump on the bandwagon and use every crises to earn more money? It's getting to be epidemic now. Like others stated, our pensions and SS checks have not gone up. My amenity fee jumped $12 last month, my insurance supplement jumps $13 next month, Netflix, utilities, groceries, massages, gas, when will it end? I for one - don't like it. However, I have to keep in mind . . . we live in America - we have so many things to be grateful for, we are all so lucky and fortunate. I can think of many situations and scenarios I'd rather not be in right now. And I feel badly for people who are facing really hard times. My complaints are rubbish compared to some folks. I'm grateful for the bed I sleep in, the food in my refrigerator, the car in my driveway, the roof over my head that is paid for, my almost perfect health. I wish we could start a thread listing all of the good and amazing things in our lives. There's an idea.
