***Personal Inflation Alert***

I posted an "X" post a few days ago where someone bought the same listed items 4 years ago and then again recently and it was 4 times as expensive as it was just 4 years about on Amazon. 4 times... Yeah, the inflation is weird becasue not all items are 4 times as much... but to say that inflation isn't way out of control is disingenuous by even the most dishonest Leftists.

 

Things that didn't happen for $600, Alex.


Alternately; list those things that are 4x as much, Rick. Collectors items? Memorabilia? Nothing?

 

A damn quarter pounder $10.

 

You paid that?

 

You forgot something

I assumed that this was a thread about weight gain, which would have been a welcome change of pace.

 

so the basis that inflation is out of control is the op referencing what they were told by someone about comparative shopping over time at Walmart. To a post regarding a post on x about prices on a product.

Just pointing out the extremes of inflation. No need to get your shorts in a wad over it.

 

We have the lowest inflation rates out of all the G7 countries.

Higher prices now are because greedy corporations won't reduce their prices from the pandemic period because they like hefty profits and CEOs can't live without a 3rd or 4th yacht.

The only solution to this price gouging is for consumers to punish the purveyors of it or government intervention which the right calls socialism.

 

Nah, that would open the door for you know who to spam the board about his thoughts on obesity and fitness. Pass

 

I think Wendy's has a similar thing. It gives me the winds something fierce so I won't be getting one but it's out there.

 

Logic is not your friend. We have the lowest inflation but the greediest corporations.

 

Pandemic didn’t create inflation. If anything, overall prices initially deflated, with supply and demand determining price fluctuations.

Government responses to Covid caused the inflation. Pumping about a year’s GDP worth of liquidity into a supply strained economy will give you the massive inflation we have seen over the last 3 years. This was as predictable as Miami fans being obnoxious.

Take note, the last three years will be included in almost all future economics curricula as case studies of what NOT to do. Settle in, we will be dealing with the aftermath of government responses to Covid for the rest of this decade, and not in a good way.

 

LOL.

Sounds good to me.

You're a cancel culture warrior!!

 

Inflation was global. Did every economy in the world pump a year's worth of liquidity into their own GDP? Is the American economy that strong that we pump that money and the entire globe suffers inflation; many in the double digits! Or, was there something else, like massive kinks in the supply chain caused by the pandemic, that caused massive shortages, causing prices to rise?

If the problem was just our spending, please explain how this caused any 50 ships waiting to unload their goods on our Pacific coast at one point.
