It’s not inflation. It’s price gouging.
Yeah it isn’t natural at all and needs regulation on basic items to live
I don’t know, they look natural to me
Price gouging coincidentally at the same time across the entire economy, soon after an enormous increase in the monetary supply.
A—Aurora Borealis? At this time of year! At this time of day! In this part of the country! Localized entirely within your kitchen?!?
Record high prices coinciding with record high profits and plunging cost of good sold, followed by even higher prices. They are testing to see what the pain thresholds are. All that’s gonna happen is that business will start to collapse as consumer spending plummets because people can barely afford to survive. Will the system autocorrect or collapse? Will the government ever enforce consumer protection laws ever again? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

tbh both inflation numbers are hot
Yeah, I wouldn’t mind being screwed by either of these inflations.
Nah reported inflation is better. Too much inflation might drown you
It’s a risk I’m willing to take.
I wish my country’s government had the testacles to cap prices on food. I order food mostly online and I compared prices from 2 years ago and most things are at least 200% more expensive, cheese for example is like 600% though.
If they cap prices on food, then you’ll see food shortages instead of expensive food
How so? In my country, certain basic food items are priced capped AND rationed, meaning you’re only allowed to buy a certain amount of it at a time.

No! Worldwide, the agricultural sector is THE MOST SUBSIDISED economic field. You can’t have it both ways. If taxpayers’ money is used to prop up your business, you have a duty to the taxpayers and country.
My country’s news say we’re improving with a straight face. And I’m like “improving in what? Making the country sink more efficiently?”
When you thought Lemmy would be less cringe than Reddit: 🤡
I mean it is in fact a shitty post.
Yuck
Sir, explain
I wish these had been dick pics instead
I wish it was sonic
Any more pic of them or are they just randomers on one photo?
God amateur stuff on the internet is so so much worse than it was 5-10 years ago :(
It’s a meme, put your dick away.
The only happy inflation for me is the one in my pants. This image does it
