Someone told you it was 5%? You should stop listening to those people.

And I'm sure that list wasn't cherry picked or anything. And if JM is posting it, they're probably just straight up lying. I checked the first item, and according to the USDA, apples in Jan 2021 were $0.732 per pound and in Feb 2024 were $0.615 per pound.

Prices are up since Biden took over. They spiked 10 days after he took office in Feb 2021 (and really in January 2021 too before he even took office as January inflation was 3.7% annualized and February was 4.9% annualized). I'm sure that was due to just Biden's sheer tyranny of will and had nothing to do with the $7.8 trillion in debt we racked up and the bigly checks we sent to every for existing, under the guy you voted for twice.

Here's the USDA data archives if you want to peruse
