This tragedy was entirely predictable and entirely avoidable

Here’s last month’s bigger story. That covered the first six months of Trump’s second term, in which prices mostly stayed at their already-high prices or went up.

We're tracking grocery prices around Chicago since Trump took office. They're up and likely to keep rising.
The Sun-Times has been tracking prices for 35 grocery items since December. Our shopping cart's total tab is up by $11. Experts say to expect more increases. We'll keep tracking.
