In December 2022, inflation in the US slowed for the second consecutive month due to a decrease in the cost of gasoline and airline tickets. However, the prices of food and rent increased, with food prices rising 11.8% on an annual basis. The cost of eggs spiked 11.1% due to a highly contagious avian flu that spread across the country.
It‘s clear that even celebrities like Micah Parsons are feeling the strain of rising grocery prices. The prices of goods have skyrocketed due to several factors, including political tensions, weather conditions, and higher demand. The NFL star drew attention to the issue with his tweet, and many others have followed suit in solidarity. While there are strategies to help manage the situation, it‘s ultimately up to the government to find a solution.
