No, the price of food is what's busting your budget.
- I read that headline, and your comment, and immediately inferred WSJ is victim-blaming people just for eating breakfast. The sheer audacity of it...
was it time to blame the poors for their own poverty again?
- LOL you can't afford coffee

  I can't believe I'm saying this, but... to be fair to the Wall Street Journal, it read like an article with basic factual information. It even talked about why this is bad for Trump.
The funny thing is this article is still a big upgrade from their previous edition.
Prices won't effect me. I have heroin & doritos for breakfast.
- You disgust me, no salsa‽
  
  OMG!!! I gotta try that. Habanero!
my breakfast is limited to only 4 avocado toasts and a venti cappuccino from starbucks, so i should be ok
Hahaha I don't eat breakfast cause I am a poor pleb.
Just go to Starbucks and grab any of the 15 cups of coffee in pickup area and go. Imagine buying coffee when Starbucks exists
- The downside to that approach is that the coffee it gets you is from Starbucks.
  
  Yeah it's shit coffee but think of all the oj you can buy with the savings!
Not for me, my breakfast is 2 granola bars and a snack size apple juice. I dont really like breakfast anyway so it seems to work for me.
I mean, I don't drink coffee or orange juice, but I could see how other people would be impacted.
- Separately, bird flu has egg prices up again. Which may or may not affect you.
