Shrinkflation – It’s What’s for Dinner

The latest comic from Lampoon the System peeks into the life of an American family grappling with the plight of “shrinkflation.” Let’s be grateful that the entity that bears the most responsibility for this economic trend (the Federal Reserve) is not actually doing our cooking for us.
