[quote=Anonymous]Everyone in the same boat so prices across the board going up - we all need and want more money.

I think in food costs some has to do with climate change and food insecurity.  Chocolate and coffee for examples.  I sincerely believe food costs will continue rising as it'll be harder to get certain foods as production will be less and tighter.  Sons of this may be related to inflation but some to climate change which will worsen.  In 5 years I think prices will really take a hit. You won't be able to enjoy certain foods daily from a spend point.

Inflation is real and unfortunately we are now having to cycle down from that and it's simply not easy to do.  There's statistical inflation which is reported to be not so bad and real life inflation which we all feel is worse than what is reported.  I think that's from the combo above.  Greed is real :(

Once something goes up and people still buy, it won't come down.  That's just logic.  When one thing has been able to stay up, others will follow.  Why not? That's just greed and it's real.  I think we went past a line of no return and while gas prices can fluctuate because that's a controlled commodity in essence, you're just not going to see product prices controlled like that.

Companies need to pay more to workers who need more to buy enough and it's a vicious cycle.  Everything goes higher and higher. We would need something to break that cycle and historically it would require a drastic change or event.
