You know what’s a joke, every politician and the “people” who keep voting them in. That’s the real joke.
Voting is rigged that's why. Also how corrupted Joe Biden cheated in 2020.
FORRRR REALLLL
Exactly. So then they will go to Amazon for their food and even less people will be working.
That’s why democrat are the donkey symbol 😂
yup you are absolutely correct.
You voted for this 😂😂😂
This is capitalism, brother. Do not matter who you vote for
@@Sonofawildanimal4241 Very naïve answer. Biden’s energy policy is the main driver of this inflation. We’re supporting two wars plus freebies. The prepared will survive.
@@Sonofawildanimal4241💯 agreed!
@@Sonofawildanimal4241 1.4% inflation under Trump. It matters.
Do you think any politician cares? Yall think it’s a matter of blue or red when it’s really not. So many people “CORRUPT DEMS HAWAII” like what’s red gonna do for you they don’t care no one cares
Imagine making 45 an hour and still being called “low income “ 😂😂😂
You’re right! I can only imagine making $45 an hour😂 will never happen
If you aren't earning six figures or more in Hawaii you are under the poverty line
Poverty line requirements are regional. No different from how 16 an hour in a Midwest village is decent but you’ll literally be living in your car and showering at the Y in any city.
If you find some fool to pay you $45 /hr in Hawaii……take it!!!!!!
If you ain't rich, yer NOTHIN'. Nothing. A nobody. No influence, no power... and no *bread*, suckah! 😂
Voting stupid has no rewards
Everything went up except my pay. Somebody's making a killing. What's up with that!!
THEY DONT KEA* CAUSE THEY
THE POLITTTICAL GETTT DISCOUNT
Are these guy gave themselves a raise😂. Except for few like Augie and taopulo
When a society settles for mediocrity or below average outcomes, it bleeds into all aspects of life including art, films, writing, food, clothing, medical care etc...nothing is of high quality because expectations are so low and people are so willing to settle. no conviction, no fighting spirit, and no desire for vigilence...just compliance and accepting everything that falls into your lap. I try to always fight to reserve the best for myself, which means less money goes into buying garbage stuff.
You remember when everyone wanted to raise the minimum wage...... This is the result so why is that guy so shocked. You raise the minimum wage the stores have to raise the food prices.
@@kawikadee9670 My neighbor works at Time's. He told me that the regular workers get minimum wage and they would get a raise when minimum wage goes up. The people who make good money is the management. Time's is the lowest paying retailer. Oh, the other thing he said that the story in the news was somewhat misleading. They mentioned bread (Loves) for $13 on Kauai. Here the bread was going for $10, but they didn't say they sell other brands for about $5. Here I was thinking all bread was selling at a high price.
Maybe the store should change their name to "Times 2"
Lol!☺
🤭😂🤣😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
nice one!!!
Priced out of homes, priced out from even a loaf of bread
Soon we'll be living in ca ves again, hunting with our spear and growing our own food. No cable,no CZcams or wifi. It'll be like history repeating itself. 😂😂😂

I make my own bread. But of course then they raise the price of flour. 🙄.
You have no possible move. Not unless you're already financially fortified (with nutrients).
Lol, even the flour is more expensive in Hawaii. It still needs to be shipped in... Nobody grows wheat here.
Time to grow your own wheat field and processing plant
Get out of there :) run.
I grow my own flour
Keep voting blue #FJB!!!!!
Does Joe Biden own the food you buy?
Does he own everything you buy?
No he doesn’t

I have to laugh at the GALL a lawmaker has for complaining about the price system they are partially or totally responsible for.
Sky rocketing prices are everywhere.

Guys you’re all missing it,
it’s a SALE Price of $13.39!
The REGULAR price is a whopping $15.89 !!!!
now that’s nuts.
Eddie please read this message
Those sales are almost always going. Its not really on sale lol. Its like when you go online to book a hotel and it says 40% off right now! Puts an absurd price then crosses it out and puts the cheaper price. That cheaper price is the standard rate 😂
You remember when everyone wanted to raise the minimum wage...... This is the result so why is that guy so shocked. You raise the minimum wage the stores have to raise the food prices.
Right!!!
@@kawikadee9670 no they don't lol. they would have to cut down their quarterly profit reports which has a very bad appeal to board members because they're making x million dollars less than their projected goal. even though they are all gaining insane amounts of money, because its less than last quarter due to rising wages even though we're making a healthy profit, we need to keep that profit line equal to AND greater than last year otherwise the company is failing. and its not. ***disclaimer, this is for corporation based companies, not small business. small business gets screwed from the wages and the corps, basically a flank attack of economics. but problem B wouldn't exist if not for the indirect and direct actions of problem A in the first place
braddah, the rise of cost went far beyond the inflation rate. they actually out here taking advantage to create more profit to get that quarterly report looking good
Typical politician, out of touch in his own bubble! Under a rock for the last few years????🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Stop bitching for once in your life and man up.
You're talking about Trump I'm guessing!
Somebody has to elect these people keep that in mind
stop printing money...government. nuff said.

What do you want the politicians to do? It's corporate greed and pricing gauging.
The population expects capitalism and shuns its leftists. I was from Oahu for thirty years, and people repelled the solutions daily as I tried to talk them up.
Then VOTE
If local politicians really want to "fix" this, try reducing business tax, food tax on consumers, property taxes, as well as several petty regulations. The cost of doing business trickles down to us little people who are just trying to get by...
Filing a complaint but still voting locally and nationally for the policies that are responsible for these high prices 🤯
EXACTLY
People are voting for corporate price gouging? Who do you think is gonna fix it?
It’s called Capitalism and greed and price gouging . No elected officials are doing this
They don’t own what you are buying
Educate yourself
Damn. I just bought 4 loaf of bread here in Utah for 10.
Ditto. All of these MAGA trolls here pretending they spend 13 dollars on bread. They are lying - just like the God (Trump) they worship.
The real question here is
Why?
Now go look at the quarterly earnings for these giant grocery store chains
It’s the brand not the grocery store.
Profit margins for grocery stores are typically 1 to 2 percent.
In other words, you don't understand how inflation works, or what causes it.
Where did you think that STIMULUS CHECK was coming from? It comes from YOUR OWN WALLET, IN THE FUTURE.
Privatized food. People don't object and people hated me daily for talking about the solutions. People suck.
Corporate gouging
I totally Agree! I noticed the prices of groceries is outrageous at stores such as Times, Foodland, Safeway, and Target, etc! This is so stressful thst me and my spouse argue because I want to move to the mainland and he doesn’t. We can no longer eat out at restaurants because of rising costs. It’s a total nightmare!
Smh. Sorry to hear dear. Try picking up some overtime or part-time work until the inflation cools down
Capitalism is free. The obvious solutions come out of bullied and hated mouths.
Vote out the Dem
You remember when everyone wanted to raise the minimum wage...... This is the result so why is that guy so shocked. You raise the minimum wage the stores have to raise the food prices.

@@lulupiink6698 thanks for the reminder to up the payments 😂 I'm doubling up after this comment!
I’ve started making my own bread again for this reason- bread freezes well, you can spend some time making several loaves and then freeze them til you need them. Only costs about a dollar a loaf
At that price you can make your own bread
And they ask if you want to round up.
What good is a handful of coins, LOL?
There's also RoundUp herbicide in the bread.
I pay $5.39 for 2 bags of bread here on Boise, ID. It’s not that we can’t afford to live back home but it’s just not worth it. Change in leadership and we definitely can see ourselves being back soon! 🙏🏽🤙🏾💯❤️

Hawaii needs real change, and to end the monopolies $ the price gouging and profiteering $
We moved to Arizona from Hawaii and bought a house twice as big as our Hawaii home for half the price. We can buy a loaf of bread for $2.75. 😂
And white bread at that. I would be buying flour and making my own flatbread at home. Or buy corn flour and make tortillas. This kind of pricing madness only means that no one will buy it, and it will expire, so it will get thrown away. Better to simply go to the food banks and get it after it's been donated.
The flours cost a lot of money too.
@@T.S.000 Yes they do, but not as much as bread. Flour and corn tortillas are pretty cheap if you make them yourself, or some kind of flatbread. But I think if people are so strapped for money that they worry about how much they are spending for bread, they need to tap into the food bank. I've been in that situation, buried financially, and never went to a food bank. But looking back on it, I should have. The stress is a killer. Literally.
@@yellowbird5411 : Don't forget the time it takes to bake the bread as well. That time could be used to go work a 2nd or 3rd job, so you can pay the rent, especially, here in Honolulu.
@@T.S.000 Very true! Time is money.
You sound racist against bread.
Corporate greed nothing else 🤷🏻♂️
This is beyond corporate greed. When inflation is this high, all prices are high.
@@dannyn.3539nah, corporate greed is largely attributed to 40% of inflation. Just look at or listen to quarterly earning calls. These corporations brag about record profits. If everything was costing more, the companies would have the overall same profit. They don't.
Out of control money printing is the cause.
Mix of multiple things. Definitely not corporate greed and "nothing" else
@@MrChiangching what if the federal government created money and paid it to the workers who bake the bread [at the same rate those works get paid currently] and offered the bread on the market for the at-cost price [no profit] ...what happens to inflation ? how/why ?
They do it cause they can. Thought we had regulations for that, that’s who is to blame. Just like the cost of electricity, our regulators here of a black out( caused by electric company) and they allow for the price hike. It’s all a scam and there laughing at us all.
And yet Hawaii keeps voting Democrat.
You are uneducated. it's because Hawaii is an American colonie. They are exploiting the islands with the Johns Act
Safeway Hawaii Kai sells a 19oz package of Aloha Tofu for $7.49.... IT'S TOFU!?!?! We finally gave up and moved to Japan at the end of last year, where a similar package of tofu costs ~$0.75. And that's just the tip of the iceberg! Don't get me started on meat, seafood and produce.
what a difference 30 years makes. Japan is now the low cost alternative!
I think I'm turning Jap.
how do you 'just move to Japan' ? don't you have a limit of 3 months of stay, then have to move back to the states for at least a few days?
@@sammylee8179 You make it sound like I threw a dart at a map and landed on Japan... I am married to a Japanese citizen, which makes me eligible for a visa which allows me to live and work in Japan. While Japan has very strict immigration policies, there are many ways for foreigners to legally live and work here.
@@crosscolin that makes more sense. that was kind of what I figured. but most of us don't have a spouse or something that'll allow us to just pack it up and move to Japan. I wish there was though, love it there
Many may not know this, but in the last 4 years 30,000 people have left Hawaii to the Mainland. Home ownership in Hawaii is but a "dream". One excellent example of some price gouging is the Kauai CVS/Longs Drugs store. The prices at their Kukuiuula ( Poipu) location are VASTLY higher from ALL their other locations. Is this ONLY because the Kukuiuula/Poipu location is right in a highly trafficked Tourist area?🤔
You may have a point about the tourism dollars helping to spur cost of living.
Not to be discouraging but home ownership is also but a dream in the mainland. I don’t see an end to this wretched country bleeding us all dry until only the rich can afford while they criminalize homelessness.
Should have kept loves locally owned.
Been awhile since I've bought bread... but it is just wheat, water, salt and yeast right? What is the weight of the loaf of bread? I do know that corn chips are selling for $12 a pound at most stores. And our government subsidizes corn. Glad folks are actually speaking up. Sadly our choice of a free market system is now controlled by a few conglomerates. Free markets and free competition should correct the pricing. But with huge companies controlling pricing there is no chance for new competition.
Nope, you got trucks, teamsters, employees, executive bonuses, shareholder dividends, spoilage, employee shrinkage and strikes. You got the federal government actively working to make productions costs more expensive by "Going Green".
The "huge conglomerate controlling pricing" must be located in Hawaii. Because where I live, you can still get bread for less than $2 a loaf.
LOL…people who live on a small island more than 2,000mi from the nearest mainland with no infrastructure and industry to note are startled that the price of necessities are high.
People living on “paradise”, while wanting to limit others from living there, want to still have all the comforts of a large urban area on the mainland. Fools…
I agree! I'm convinced these people know nothing about economics!
With Hawaiis year-round growing seasons it is mind blowing how Hawaii is not self sustainable when it could be. The peoples slogan should apply to the food supply " grown here , not flown here "
Land on the major islands, excluding the Big Island, will run you $2 million per acre. Who can afford to grow crops on land that expensive? It wouldn't make economic sense. The produce you grow couldn't be sold cheap, because of what you had to pay for the land.
Hawaii does not have enough land to support itself and still have people live there. Like most small islands they have to import almost everything.
Then again..Like a dog chasing its tail,it starts with The monkey’s in the state office.
Buy a bread maker and make your own. This is messed up
Even the cost of materials is expensive in Hawaii. Flour,yeast,salt,and other ingredients would cost just the same,they all have to be imported onto the island,not to mention running that bread making machine can cost 46¢+ per KWH,wouldn't be surprised it electricity goes to 50¢ per KWH later in the year. So to make your own bread most likely cost just a much or more.
I don't know how to make bread in Alabama it's not this high
It's hard to even pay two bills with one paycheck, have you seen toilet paper prices...almost $15 to wipe your @$$...crazy !

I make my own bread for less than $1.00 a loaf. Organic with no b.s. in it.😁
I just paid about $3 for a loaf of bread here in Nj
Ridiculous Price!!
I make my own bread, my organic flour is amazingly cheaper than store bread with a paragraph of listed ingredients 🙄 during covid19 lockdowm, I began making bread for myself & my ohana. 5 ingredients..no preservatives & so ono! Unlike the breads sold in stores.
If you listed all the chemical compounds that make up those five ingredients, it would probably be a paragraph long too. Salt would be "sodium chloride," for example.
I don’t think it’s inflation. I think it’s all the big corporations that are price gouging everything it’s all about that almighty dollar for them , even Walmarts prices have doubled and tripled over this past couple years. It’s absolutely ridiculous. I blame corporate.
I blame Brandon.
I wont deny that there is some greed going on, there is....BUT the current administration ran on the promise of destroying the fossil fuel industy to replace it with "greener" energy.
Fuel and energy costs are up and that trickles down the cost of every single item that is produced and transported.
If it cost more to grow, farm, fertilize, harvest, transport, stock the product on the shelves then it will reflect in the cost. So something like a grain in the field will then change the cost of every item that grain goes into (bread, cereal, baking mixes, etc) and that is just ONE item.
Corporate greed is a thing and it does happen BUT we cannot ignore the Donkey in the room. Corporate greed is a place to be angry and take our attention of the fact that we are under attack in various ways....but hey, at least this administration is doing exactly what they promised to do 👍
And before a person tells me that the president doesnt decide the gas prices, I know this. But their polices do effect it and if they cant change much with the fuel industy then why the mumbo jumbo of promising their voters that they will end it? Leave it alone then if they have no effect on it.
Bidennomics is working….. the clown in office says it’s the best economy EVER

Presidents have no control over inflation.
If these locals were not using food stamps they could complain.
I was a local raising a troubled child, so I went to Human services on Queen Street. They gave us food stamps. Mistake - we weren't eligible. We were too poor to pay it back - only time I ever stopped starving - it was a local gal in the human services getting her kicks. It was a joke. They took the money from my tax returns and I'm ineligible for food stamps for life. Some aloha. Lotta seniors get this treatment.
I was given a warning by two cops at Kapiolani park for walking my dog. They said no animals in the park and pointed at the direction where a sign says so. I guess now I can’t walk my dog on a public park that I pay taxes for to be maintained.
Other people pay taxes to maintain it too, and they don't like stepping in dog poop. Your dog pays no taxes.
Price gauging is illegal, shame on y'all
Keep voting Democrat and this is what you get!
Yes keep voting Democrat and corporate greed will continue. Republicans aren't for large corporations and definitely don't try to stop everyday workers from increasing their pay through unionizing. This is exactly why Republicans vote for permanent tax cuts for corporations but only give temporary tax cuts to workers! The money that corporations save goes to wireless and not the investors. Republicans know what's best for workers!

Let's take a look at the regular price of over $15. Most goods on islands have to be imported. Prices were absurd when I lived in Guam in the 80s, it has to be ludicrous now. Make your own bread folks, it is not hard.
Need way more than one complaint to have lasting results. They put an item on sale and then make prices higher on other items . Just remember you voted for your lawmakers, and they are allowing this to happen .Surely the Governor and Mayor know yet not one word mentioned .
and you can get two big loaves for 8 bucks at Sam's. Times and Safeway etc tax people HARD

These weren’t fancy dinners either, just hamburgers, tacos and tikka masala, $400 usually gives me 2 weeks of dinners, plus stuff for breakfast and lunch on the main land….😢
This is what they want. The large corporations will win.

if I lived on an island the last thing I would do as a politician is to piss off the locals you can only run so far on an island
How much more evidence do you need? If all the retailers in that area are charging similar prices and they’re not all owned by a monopoly…it has to be inflation.
Don't you understand American greed
Greed is the fuel for enterprise.
Do you think it was the American’s that gave the kamehameha’s the idea to oppress the commoners and force them to harvest sandalwood for their own personal enrichment. You should do a little research on the Hawaiian royals and the sandalwood trade.
Don't you understand this is a result of money printing?
You mean Hawaiian greed. Mainland prices aren't nearly that ridiculous. I can still get 7 loaves of bread for $13.
Making bread is fast and so Ono.
