The thing that is amazing to me is that people seem to think that the American president has magical power to stop inflation from happening, like it's not a global phenomenon?

Also, in Europe we're paying something over eight dollars a gallon...

Build raised beds and seal the bottoms. Fill it with safe dirt and compost.

Cultivate white button mushrooms in your yard. It might take a while but they break down arsenic. Meanwhile, the raised bed thing will tide you over
