Gravity is increasing

This morning I was talking to my friend and we both had similar experiences recently.  Getting out of a chair takes more effort than a few years ago.  Often use hands to give a bit of a push.
Grocery bags are heavier to bring into the house.  In spite of shrinkflation, the bags are heavier than ever.
My conclusion:  The government has been slowly increasing gravity over the past 5+ years.
What else could it possibly be?  Probably a side effect of the Space Program where they shift gravity from the space station to earth.
