$13 for a loaf of bread? Sticker shock leads to lawmaker's complaint 

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’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! 😂

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.

Does Joe Biden own the food you buy? Does he own everything you buy? No he doesn’t Educate yourself This is happening all over the world It’s happening because of the richest people who own and control everything you buy It’s called capitalism and greed and price gouging

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

Lol!☺

🤭😂🤣😂

😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂

nice one!!!

We're all going to be a lot thinner

😅 I'm already skinny by default; probably will be stick by then

Solutions. The obvious solutions are not concerning you? Sounds like anti communism - like the blacklist days.

That's one way to solve the obesity epidemic.

Or rent, mortgage, highly important medication, gas for work to barely survive just on the bare basics?

Soon we'll be living in ca ves again, hunting with our spear and growing our own food. No cable,no RU-vid or wifi. It'll be like history repeating itself. 😂😂😂

@@FinessingFinance2024 the plot thickens, wait until the wef and all globalist price us out of a can of sardines and tuna.

Peeps need to realize now more than ever especially since the Lahaina fires that the takeover is growing. Going to be rich people island soon. Too much vulnerability of the locals is allowing criminal officials to mangle and rip apart the culture even more. How can there be any getting better?

@@FinessingFinance2024 sounds like all my camping trips and bicycle touring trips

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

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

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

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

blame the corporations that wants high profits at your expense.

​@@traderjack33040blame the guy for living on an island where EVERYTHING is brought in on a boat or a plane Very costly

The democrats do not own the food you buy nor anything you buy or rent It’s the richest people who own and have total control over everything It’s called capitalism and greed and price gouging

Ya vote republican and lose your social security, Medicare idiot

At least you can get bread .......you'll be fighting for scrapes of bread under traitor Trump...convicted felon

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

NOT AT ALL LIKE YOU…….YOU ARE THERE FOR THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!aloha

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

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

Who else

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.

Hahahha keep voting Democrats in you deserve it!

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.

@@kawikadee9670 ♥️

What good is a handful of coins, LOL?

There's also RoundUp herbicide in the bread.

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.

I agree! I'm convinced these people know nothing about economics!

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

This.

If you have a job, you should not complain about President Biden. trump had the most job losses of any President in the United States history. President Joe Biden that the greatest job growth of any President in the United States history. Thank you President Biden for bringing the economy back from the orange presidents horrible economy.

Does Biden own everything you buy? No he doesn’t Who owns It? They are doing this It’s called Capitalism and greed and price gouging Educate yourself And it’s happening all over the world 🌎

If you send $$ to a “billionaire” to pay his lawyers for his 91 felony counts, you should not be complaining about the cost of food or gas

@@lulupiink6698 thanks for the reminder to up the payments 😂 I'm doubling up after this comment!

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.

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.

Hi would vote 🗳 for Obama n Hillary again..

Vote woke and go broke.

Has nothing to do with democrat. It’s bigger than that.

The two party ONLY system is for idiots with no critical thinking skills....

​@@bamslerc Its easier to fool someone then to convince them they been fooled. You got your opinion from what you believed were facts. But that was a form of propaganda. The $10 bread is right there , You choose to be blind

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.

lol I know! 🤣🤣🤣

Wait till people stop paying for 🧻. Gen Z is the end of the alphabet. Next up Gen Stinky.

When I was a baby we all had cloth diapers. Only the wealthy had disposable. Use cloth squares and wash them like our cloth diapers.

Damn that sucks, here in PA I just bought 12 rolls for 4.89

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 ?

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.

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.

Kamehameha Schools assets are over 15 BILLION US DOLLARS as of their 2023 Annual Report. And yeah, they still own more private land in Hawaii than anyone else, and always have since 1888.

Other people pay taxes to maintain it too, and they don't like stepping in dog poop. Your dog pays no taxes.

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 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.

Imagine making 80 k a year and still considered below income z

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.

Hell yeah. Who wouldn't?

From his high raise condo....

I'm sure voting Blue has nothing to do with it. It's all some evil price gougers. By the way, why weren't these evil people doing their price gouging when Donald Trump was president? That guy had gas down to $2 a gallon.

They wouldn't have much of a reaction, they are rich. These prices are pennies to them. They don't have any concept on what it's like to live like normal everyday people.

Obama said transformation of 🇺🇸...this is what it looks like.

Bidenomics is a feature of De-Pop Agenda 2030

Exactly! I blame Biden for my lawnmower breaking. And then he made one of my knives dull when I used it too much. And then Biden made my oil get dirty when I took a road trip and I had to change it! Thanks Biden!

@@ebf1003 Tell me why you support Biden without mentioning Trump. What is your favorite policy of the current administration?

@@ebf1003 He's certainly to blame for Afghanistan deaths, crippling the energy sector, trying to mandate an experimental gene therapy, funding 10/7, causing rampant inflation due to inept policies, etc..

Massive government spending drove up the cost of everything. It was entirely predictable.

@@cupidok2768 “The purple gooo” is taro flavored I believe, but they get all kine flavors, or plain. It’s called Molokai Hot Bread, you can get it on Molokai, in Kaunakakai, early in the morning, just walk down the dark lane/alley everyone else is walking down😁. If you don’t live on Molokai they have a food truck that goes around O’ahu… I don’t think they have food trucks on any other islands, not sure though. They get one Instagram, try follow them over there, ask for Kana, he’s the guy in this video.

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!

You'll find high food prices all thru the red states including TX!

Presidents have no control over inflation.

better hug it otherwise you're an organ donor

@@gregh7457 Did you hear about the $13 loaf of bread cost in Hawaii? To be a "donor" one does it willingly - that's not how things work under communism.

Communism doesnt seem like such a bad idea right now. Late stage capitalism is how you get $13 for a loaf of bread. How much USD do you think a loaf of bread costs in red China?

What do liberals have to do with it? Food prices are high even in the red states.

Bread maker 1.50 ftw

Most things you need the actual app for, not just the membership card. I saw creamer was on sale and grabbed my alloted 2, got up to the register, punched in my phone number and was still charged regular price because I don't use the app. The thing was, app info was in very small print and are on white tags, not yellow. There were no white tags. When I went back, the white tags were there. Do they expect people to climb into the coolers to be able to read the fine print? Ridiculous!

$8/loaf for garbage bread is winning?

Does Biden or any elected official own the food you buy? Do they own anything you buy? No they don’t It’s called capitalism and greed and price gouging

No it's politicians
