We have been Brainwashed to believe inflation is something that doesn’t happen. It happens consistently. People were buying less during Covid and now buying more. As well as supply chains being interrupted. For all whining about the inflation remember out of top 30 global economy we have suffered lowest inflation. I know it suck. It’s harder on the middle and lower class. Don’t think this unique to your town or your shopping center only. The whole world has inflation some countries rapid rapid rapid inflation. I like this sub, but sometimes to disregard/ignorance for major economic influences are hard for me to get passed.
Also, look what happens when tax rich. They move out of country. That’s why so many car makers moved to Mexico. Now that they are coming back the prices have practically doubled. Just cause we delete billionaires in us doesn’t mean those billionaires won’t exist. They will simply move somewhere else. It’s a difficult balance. The economy is ridiculously tough. I totally agree it’s not fair. I agree middle class is getting squeezed but this is not unique to America. This is a big reason g20 are trying to create universal minimum tax so companies don’t flee to low tax environments. It will take a multi country approach to change this. This is what we really should be fighting for and unions for worker rights, pay to match inflation, safety.
