Most expensive groceries in the country...

[ironyak]

Having returned from the groceries run to Hilo, I can report that even on day 376, the prices have still not gone down yet, can you believe it, and while I was standing there disbelieving my lying eyes, who should I see coming up the aisle pushing a wagon, but a troll, big troll, strong troll, with tears running down his snout, and he said to me, he said, people are just so mean, and when asked why, he blubbered that no one wanted all the poop he was freely spraying everywhere (was surprisingly quite civil as trolls go, aside from the spreading of poo poo on the walls, and his language not being presicely[sic] intelligible), and he went on about how everyone is complaining about people being hungry and he had all this excrement to share and I tried to explain that while he might like to roll around in and eat crap, most people don't, but he just wouldn't listen and as I carefully backed away I thought, poor thang, should send out an invite, try to talk things over, and have 'em for dinner, but on the way out got distracted as I had to make sure to grab a new ball, as someone took the last one and headed home saying something about being scared of soy, and while I couldn't find one with the same β on it, there was a special one with an α, which hopefully is acceptable for those left tardy, just hanging around, ladies included, but probably best to let them speak for themselves and whomever else they choose to carry water for, but when I got back what, from this week, did I read, but the news today, oh boy, that groceries in Hawai'i are the still the highest in the US, just as that thread title on Punaweb says, having gone up roughly 10% this year alone, and food isn't free for most people, and actually food insecurity is trending higher in Hawai'i and now I don't know who to believe, reality and all the multiple sources of evidence possible, or ignominious lying con-men and their lackeys...
