it’s the cost of living mate. people are choosing between dinner out and paying the power bill

shock horror, when everything costs twice as much people stop spending. who could’ve predicted this

Noah Bennett2026-07-02T05:44:00.000Z

lol cope. maybe if they didn’t spend millions on useless consultants prices would be lower

Mia Carter2026-07-02T05:26:00.000Z
