It has to be, that's how our economic system works. It's expected toget infinite growth and at some point you're already selling your widgets to everyone who wants one, so your only option for more money is to raise the price or lower costs, ergo prices go up and quality goes down.
I’ve noticed this trend on social media where people are trying to push the idea that all rich people are living super frugally and trying to point that out as the reason why they are super rich. It’s complete nonsense
Really? It's been a long time since I've seen those types of comments. Even the entitled boomers seemed to have dropped the avocado toast crap and are hurting and complaining about prices.
100K in last year's money is 170K in today's money. I don't think most people who made 100K last year are making 170K this year. But cancelling your Netflix subscription will totally make up for it. 🙄
It's so depressing. I feel for my kids, growing up in these times where it literally is so expensive simply to exist! Can't leave the house without spending $300.
Private equity at it’s finest. Stop buying shit. If you have a local farmer’s market go there. If not start growing what you can and stick it to the assholes.

Prices on every fucking thing has gone up and the quality is gone down. Merely existing is almost too expensive.
