And that's before the freaking tip ask.

For a $15 sandwich lunch, the drink should be a beer. Or the sandwich should be ponderously super loaded. And the chips bag should be one of those midsize deals not the little bag kind.

People are really struggling.

I forgot to tip the lady who cut my dogs hair. She was FURIOUS about it too. She slammed the little half-door they use to keep dogs separated and she walked off and didnt even acknowledge my thanks.

As I was in the parking lot, I realized that I hadn't tipped and that was why she was so mad. Service people need their tips this time of year.

is this type of rapid, permanent inflation precedented? i did think it would be somewhat transitory because a lot was caused by COVID supply chain issues, and stuff like cars and electronics have returned to normal. but food, of all things, just doubled and stuck there. it's absurd. i feel like disco fries getting sticker shock at the grocery store. inflation is supposed to happen so slowly you barely notice it. meanwhile i remember some shit being 1/2 the price just a couple years ago.

you're the one with poor rc, retard.

i said prices on a few things, such as cars and electronics, have have had prices recovered and are now around* what they they would have been in 2024 under normal/high inflation. but that shit like food, which we should expect to recover, has remained high and the rapid inflation seems to be permanent and not transitory due to COVID supply chain issues.

*i wouldn't be surprised if cars and such were still higher than normal. the point of my comment was that it's shocking so many things have remained high while others have recovered somewhat. you're autistically latching onto me saying "normal", but all i was saying is "some prices have come down but it's insane that essentials like food have remained high."

retard. stay pumo.

inflation isn't caused by just one thing bro. low supply across the board also causes inflation, and on some things prices have come back down significantly as supply has increased. my point was that it's surprising it has remained so high on some things, especially essentials such as food.

the government didn't double the money supply, so it doesn't make sense that things would double. also, if it was just the money supply, than inflation on everything would be at about the same rate, and it hasn't been.

the last time inflation wasn't "permanent" was when we were on the gold standard. look at stats from the 70s and 80s or 40s

you're just used to the fact that we had near zero inflation for basically the entire 20 year period after we became aware of the world around 12 or 13 until 2020. the current situation is in no way unprecedented and there have been much worse periods of inflation in recent history

examples? i'm talking about rapid + permanent. prices fluctuate all the time. inflation adjusted food price rapidly fell up until the 50s and have remained mostly consistent until recently.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000708111

we've only been doing macroeconomics in a reliable way for the past 100ish years. before that prices shifted mostly because of wars, shortages, new discoveries, etc.

the great depression, stagflation, 80s, ITE, etc. saw prices and wages see a return to normal fairly quickly. inflated prices today seem very sticky. it's not normal for prices to inflate so much and then stay there without an equilibrium in increase wage.

we used to have much stronger price controls on food until the last 30-40 years

what are you talking about "examples"? you're just basically saying "the vibes are like off this time, man". inflation in the 70s and 80s was statistically massively worse than it currently is and for an incredibly long period of time.

nominal inflation may have been high, but in actual purchasing power measured in gold the cost of food fell dramatically in the 70s and 80s... then flatlined for decades... only to spike now

but in the 70s and 80s we could identify the cause and addressed it via volcker interest rates.

i am coming at this from with the assumption that inflated prices, not mitigated by increases in wages, is here to stay for the foreseeable future, and that the cost of essential spending as a percentage of income will remain high.

https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/chart-gallery/gallery/chart-detail/?chartId=76967

https://www.longtermtrends.net/home-price-median-annual-income-ratio/

so, i guess we don't know what will happen in the future. but it doesn't seem like much is being done to address it. and i don't see what could will happen to bring spending on essentials as a % of income down over the next few years.

otoh things looked pretty bad after ITE too. you're right, i am essentially saying "the vibes are different this time, man." but that "feeling" is based on what i perceive as the causes and lack of action in addressing them.

the day before, I'd read that Trader Joe's was litigating against their longstanding supplier for selling them literal "shit in a box" -- chicken patties full of giant bones

we can't have nice things anymore

what am I supposed to eat? a $15 estrogen burrito from chipotle?
