It's not that prices have gone up, it's that we have too little money in our pockets. Think it's reasonable to say that?

I think it’s hilarious to say that 😂

I’m grinning so wide, I swear.

Economics always handles itself, though.

People have to realize it was never about supply and demand of the impulsive children of the world (metaphor).

its about healthy distribution, maintaining resources, and not indulging and spending in idiotic things.

The earth is like a parent who only allows us so much.. we have to be responsible with it. People need to get that, one way or the other.

[Dinklex3]

Prices have definitely went up, lol.

Quite a fewn of the hotels have raised their prices by $100. I paid around $250 last year. I checked again and the same rooms are $350.

Some bags and clothes had a price increase as well. I'm not in the U. S right now, but that's what I've seen so far.

[Ryan1979]

No. My house appraised for 49k in 2011 it appraised for 148k today. Prices raised significantly on almost everything. You just haven't realized it. Used cars another good example in 2000 you could buy a reliable used car for 6k now its 12k. Going out to eat at a fine establishment in 2000 60 dollars now 90 dollars

[MISA777]

You are right, any item has gone up. The only thing that hasn't gone up a lot is wages. Your house has gone up in price, but you're not going to sell it now to go wandering, are you? If you sell it and buy it again, you'll even have to spend more money

[Ryan1979]

No but I may sell it rent for 3 years and buy another bigger house when the market cools.

[ProVox]

False. The Bidenflation price increases have hit my portfolio and savings hard. That's just how economics works, it can't be flipped nor redefined to make it anything other than higher prices/inflation.

[MISA777]

This may be a push for certain people and certain investments to make market conditions choppy, but when you find the pattern, you will know that many times of adversity, gains profits will be more.

[DarkWinterNights]

No it’s definitely that prices have gone up. I’m spending $500/month on fuel and my food costs have almost doubled. I’m completely priced out of the housing market I’ve given up for the foreseeable future. A $200k house in 2019 is now pushing $350k. I’m still making the same amount of money.

[MISA777]

Depending on the income of a job, even the salary never rises, because as prices rise, so do corporate profits. I don't want to go any further than that, but the current market prices need to remind everyone to keep rational consumption.

[jshm2]

No. It's stupid and whoever said that should feel ashamed of themselves and their poor education.

Prices have gone up, hence inflation too.

[MISA777]

Think that this is very stupid, can only show that your current situation is not very optimistic, and did not solve the pocket problem, jealousy makes your sense of crisis more

[Kiss_Me]

Nope.

The average American still has the same amount of STARTING money in their pockets. However, the purchasing power of that money has decreased significantly.

[Derekk]

Prices have gone up, but giving everybody tons of money will make the prices go up even further. Demand-pull inflation is a b***.

[FilmGuy93]

No, lol that's not reasonable at all. The economic situation is a deficiency of supply; not demand.

[exitseven]

The second condition is directly caused by the first condition.

[ArtemisSilver]

Actually it's kind of a spit roast situation where we're getting fucked by both at once. Yay!

[Redstang88]

No prices of basically everything are through the roof

[Shamalien]

No because we have the same amount of money and prices have gone up

[maximumpower]

Which came first - the chicken or the egg?
Same logic applies.

[In_Trance]

More like, people waste the money they have on dumb shit they don't need

[FunkyMonkee]

Only in lefty world.

[FunkyMonkee]

Does DKNY pay you to advertise for them?

[MISA777]

I want to know if you have a credit card that has been overdrawn, don't doubt the existence of the problem, or can be very good to face the problem, this is your best answer

[FunkyMonkee]

No, not that I know of. I had overdraft protection. If I went too far, that'd take care of it.

[CloudMassacre]

I think both are true

[joeldalton]

No, that’s not reasonable.

[The_Naughty_Guy]

Prices have definitely gone up

[BLP11520]

prices on everything are up

[Kingofkings1992]

Wrong. Prices are definitely up.

[AFretiredTXn]

Agree

[MrTaboo]

No, prices went up.

[jimmy2]

I agree
