Like damn how expensive can things get I just went shopping at Walmart and got 8 things, mostly produce, and that shyt totaled out to be 47.50! why the fukk does the cost of living continue to rise but never fall? I swear by 2040 or some shyt the cost of bread or milk will probably be 5 dollars.

Young fine women sellin p*ssy on Snapchat for the low. A lot of women turned to sex work during the pandemic. It’s a saturated market

Because your money is worth less and less every year.

Technically its not worth anything at all as its printed out of fresh air but thats another story.

Inflation
But what you're currently experiencing is record Inflation. We're almost at 10% over the previous year according to the consumer price index. If you include the Inflation we experienced in 2021 as well which was around 5% we're looking at things costing somewhere in between 15-20% more than in 2019.

For perspective Inflation is considered normal at around 2% per year.

Cause long term they can’t stop the money printing otherwise the country goes into a recession

 

[Alvin]

which is fine when wages raise every year in coordination with inflation, when they stagnant that's the issue

 

[The Realist Perspective]

Cost of production. Production is fueled by people working. Are the people working, not receiving the increase in pay in coordination with the production costs?

This is what confuses me.

because of interest rates, printing money, monetary poilicy, trade imbalances, national debt.

inflation gives you/everyone a reason to spend now rather than later.

it drives the economy which is why central banks target mild inflation.

My guess is the population increases every year so demand increases every year. This doesn't count all the COVID inflation fukkery.

Because CACS say it does.

It will get worse every year. Capitalism is always in crisis and eventually it’ll get so bad that the system will implode.

Common racist neoliberal lie. You can fit the entire world’s population, I believe every two people in their own house, just in the state of Texas.

 

[Charlie Hustle]

If you have your 6 certs inflation doesn’t exist
