What's the reason everything is so expensive everywhere in the whole world now?

Question

Food. Gas. Housing. Renting. Bills. Everything. Inflation and crisis. What is the real reason?

MrOracle · Accepted Answer

1. Inflation, which is caused by horrible "print more money" monetary policy.

2. Energy costs. Biden's first day in office, he shut down entire oilfields, canceled the Keystone pipeline (which didn't reduce the drilling or transport of oil, it just meant that we needed to continue to use higher-risk, more expensive, less reliable methods to move it), and essentially did everything he could to disrupt the American energy sector (meaning oil and gas). Do I need to point out that the Bidens have huge oil investments in Ukraine? And that removing America from the energy export market means an increase in Ukrainian stock prices?

3. Illegal immigration. Note I specified ILLEGAL. Immigrants who come through the process legally aren't the problem. But allowing 15 million illegal immigrants into the country means a MASSIVE demand for housing, food, energy, etc. That raises costs for everyone.

4. Wars, and the resulting disruption to global trade. Right now, several of the world's biggest shipping choke-points can't be used because of either infrastructure problems (the Panama canal, for example) or because of wars. Since WWII, globalization was possible because the US was willing to spend massive amounts of money on the US Navy with a policy to enforce international laws, nearly ending piracy and attacks on global shipping. But the US is no longer willing to do that, and we are starting the process of de-globalization, largely from necessity, because international shipping can no longer be counted on.

The share of the global population that is productive is declining in favor of unproductive populations be it retired or lower productive cultures globally or imported.

This is the primary driver and will continue to be so for a few decades.
There is on top of that also more war and less trade around the world, so what little we have is less efficiently distributed, and we are diverting more resources towards defense. This is insignificance compared to demographic issues.

Basically there is a lot more people not working and spending money that was formerly invested to buy what they need. So cost for everything will go up and stay high while we work more for it.

In a healthy free market labor prices would go up to allow those working to afford more children and punish the generation that had too few. But most governments are importing replacement workers global y while they can to keep those prices down. Killing off their children to an even worse fate later on.

If they had half a brain they would at least ban abortion to force younger kids not to completely screw over themselfs in the future. In this countries children

The value of the dollar continues to go down as more and more are made. Wealth hoarding is the primary reason for why more and more are made and not used to help, say, the national debt owed by the US to countries like China. The more wealth is generated, the more it goes to the top of the pyramid rather than the bottom. Gotta love capitalism.

The cost of transport and the cost of distribution.

Transport from the other side of the world doesn't come cheap. You can have fruit from all over the world in any season, but that comes at a price. You can have literally everything delivered to your door in a matter of days. You will always pay extra for this service, even if it says 'free delivery'. It's already calculated in the price of the product.

Distribution chains can be long. A farmer delivers his goods at a minimum price. That price will go up several times as it is handed over from retailer to retailer, until you find it in a shop.

The complete and utter overreaction to bullshit CV 19 was always going to cause hyper inflation , this then drove interest rates ( which are now coming down ) , but this was always going to happen , if you think you can just " shut down " and give out money , there is always cause and effect.
It didn't need to happen , and you don't lock up healthy people to save the weak , it's called personal responsibility.
Only one country got it right from the beginning , more advice and massive overreaction.

Besides housing which is by far the largest factor, everything percentage wise of medium wages is globally very low in the United States of America. So realistically things can't get cheaper.

What can increase is wages which billionairs are very quickly becoming having trillions with no end in sight.

Ditto MrOracle.

And let's add using "economics" as a political weapon. Case in point - parts for the border wall were "bought and paid for" in previous administration. Now being sold off for pennies on the buck - OUR buck!!! Will have to be rebought- or newly made- just to do what should have been done the last four years. (or just file under bad govt?)

But there are ways around it. We scratch cook many more dishes now, have trimmed down the number of staple items we keep on hand, eliminated much of the pre-prepped stuff, and "borderline" foods. We are near a state border so we get gas when visiting out of state, etc. It all adds up.

Jello- $1.79 for 4 servings? seriously? that's out (except when I had oral surgery) and then I bought generic for 67¢ a box.

It is Satan's system based on the curse of the law which includes the curse of poverty. Most don't know Jesus paid for all curses so they continue living under it's power. I've seen what happens when you understand this and speak God's Word over your finances and it is supernatural. It is also very simple. When you understand and claim redemption of the curse, your financial situation, bills, cost of food, petrol and everything in your life, even your health transforms. It usually takes about 7 months but it can vary. It should become a life style.

This comment is for those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. If you are one of those people then I recommend that in addition to studying the Bible, you confess out loud daily 3x a day, the paraphrased scriptures in Charles Capps God's Creative Power Gift Collection Leather Bound or hard back.

Capitalism.

Simple as that. Capitalism is about squeezing as much money out of you as possible and as you might have noticed, they have gotten very good at that part. Every time you have any sort of savings it is just another chance for someone to squeeze just that much more out of you by offering a new subscription service or whatever. The wet dream of capitalists is to have the population live from paycheck to paycheck while spending every penny they have.

Astarlessnightsky · Answer

Almost all of the above, we had several crisis, pandemic, wars,... which pushed prices up, we also have a shortage of resources, and we got companies adding an extra bit on top to make their ceos even richer. On top of that salaries are not increasing fast enough to keep up with the general price increase.

jshm2 · Answer

Inflation is entirely down to businesses, Government can't do shit about it.

To be fair, government can't do shit about much, as it's businesses and corporations that run most things, not government. All government can do is ensure that everything is done legally, not morally.

genericname85 · Answer

rampant inflation. i think covid just sped up what would have naturally happened eventually. that's why people are speaking of the great reset and the "new world order". and i'm not speaking of idiotic tin foil hats creating wild conspiracy theories in their moms basement. i'm speaking of the world economic forum who litterally said that out loud and in public, yet the vast majority of people doesn't take note.

Gospeedracer · Answer

I could check a few boxes like mass immigration into white countries resulting in overpopulation and thinning out of resources all done by evil greedy elites. a cow eats the grass that nature grows for free but if there isn't enough land to free graze the amount of cattle needed to feed a population then cattle feed needs to be farmed and that costs money hence it becomes more expensive to produce. I hope I see the day when our treacherous leaders are held to account.

LiamJHayden · Answer

In the USA, government overspending, or more precisely, deficit spending. They are in effect adding over $1 Trillion per year to the money supply, which devalues the money already in circulation. More money chasing the same goods = higher prices.

Add in over regulation, etc, but the primary is the borrowing.

blueonblack22 · Answer

It’s a combination of several factors above. But ridiculous spending during the COVID lockdowns didn’t help at all. But also pushing bullshit and highly infective ESG on corporations is really harming economies too.

RavVid · Answer

I doubt there is a single reason but covid gov't spending is probably one of the main. The second being bad gov't which overlaps with the first.

AviatorTom · Answer

In the US, the Democrsts blame COVID-19 and the Republicans, while the Republucans blame the Democrats and the lack of tariffs. Both sides, to some extent, blame China.

As governments create money with no value, they print paper that has no link to any tangable assets. So everyone raises prices to gather in more wealth. It is like a dog chasing its tail.
