Inflation

[Anonymous No.58280520]

Good lord, has it really gotten that bad?

Is everything just more fucking expensive where you live too? Everyone on TV keeps saying that the inflation dragon has been slain, but what the fuck, prices just keep getting worse not better

Prices don't go down, they just stop going up as fast.

Subways business strategy now is to overcharge people who can afford to not care about the cost of things
It’s still affordable but you have to use the app and coupon codes
It’s pretty much always 5.99 or 6.99 for a foot long with codes
They just change the codes every few months

0% inflation means prices stop changing
prices going down would mean negative inflation, or DEflation
is it really that complicated?

Companies use it as an excuse to increase prices and maximize profits. Almost guaranteed they don't actually need to have it this high. They'll start to peddle back when they lose sales because no one can afford this slop. McDonald's is already worried about it. A McChicken is like $3 and so is a small fry.

I appreciate your expansion, but unfortunately you're talking to a room full of people with IQs below 80. They will never understand, and they will never use the correct terminology.

So the thing is, inflation is cumulative. That is, it multiplies at a certain rate year after year. Basically what they're saying is the car stopped going faster, but you're noticing we're still hauling ass.

Exactly this, and also this is barely any news, truflation has inflation indexes on many shit, like commodities, housing, food and necessity items and even the infamous big mac index.

Am I retarded for blaming high wages
If we all decide to reward monopolies and large corporations by consooming all of their shit, alongside unions constantly increasing the wages of "skilled workers", no shit the nan n' pop stores are dead and therefore everything costs more
