(TIM CAST) – Inflation has spiked to 9.1 percent — a 40-year high — with the cost of gasoline increasing more than 59 percent over the last year, and the cost of food at home increasing more than 12 percent over the last year.
Images of people waiting to be helped at local food banks haven’t been seen on a nationwide scale since 2020, when millions of Americans lost their employment after state, local, and federal government responses to the pandemic effectively terminated their employment.
Food banks, which started seeing relief after people began returning to work after pandemic shutdowns were lifted, are struggling to keep up with demand, according to the Associated Press.
