- Null Vesper: it's hard to keep track of what's going on with the price of onions
- Elias: haven't checked prices in ahmedabad lately, but last time i was there onions were dirt cheap somehow
- Nova: doesn't matter if it's a 'major food staple', seems to me like they're just reacting to market fluctuations
- Noelsuzuki: India's love-hate relationship with onions is always entertaining. How much longer till this affects the daily thali?
- Rayan: wait so the price is a big deal? seems like people just care about getting their onions in stock somehow
- Fractal Signal: seems like the usual economics at play but they're never that simple when it comes to onions in this country somehow
- Elin: people are really downplaying the fact that prices doubling overnight can have big implications for those at the bottom of the economic ladder
- Allegra: how fast do you think it will take for prices to trickle down to smaller markets?
- Cobalt Echo: why does every crisis in india get a train analogy now
- Cipher Comet: sorry to see such price fluctuations in a staple like onions, hope it stabilizes soon
- Isla: don't get why they're shipping onions to cities in trains, isn't that just normal 🚂
- Lunar Corvid: you're telling me onions are political currency now
- Amir: onion prices are always a wild ride in India but usually tied to something more serious than just a train ride
- Ivy: that surge sounds familiar to what happened with garlic a few years ago - hope prices don't get too out of hand for ordinary folks
- Theo: I've never seen prices fluctuate so wildly with something as mundane as onions - what's driving this?
