Which was the style at the time..
Well say thanks to the government in 2020 that printed half of all dollars in existence today. Small government my ass
I mean they've been printing bailout checks for big oil for a long, long time.
there was a depression and the 1% used it to further centralize profits. That is by far the biggest contributor to this situation
Where did the money go? I doubt it went into the hands of the average person who then decided to overpay for everything.
Trillions went into the hands of corporations.
Yeah, that was one of their more boneheaded moves. 🤦
I wonder how much of this is the fault of food delivery apps. I've heard multiple people who run a small restaurant or food cart complaining that those apps as part of their terms/contract wouldn't let you price up your menu items in-app to cover the % cut they take. during pandemic when app orders become the majority of your business, it makes sense to price up the items to include uber's cut across the board and just incorporate it into your cost model.
man i hate food delivery apps. theyre shitty to their employees and shitty to businesses; they just feel like a leech on society

Inflation is calculated off of the cost of some particular basket of goods, and tends not to be even across those goods.
Yeah, if you eat a lot of corporate fast food, prices have skyrocketed recently. At a rate that far outpaces the local pizzeria and Chinese restaurant down the street, or the cost of chicken and eggs from the grocery store.
