Lol, I love these clueless takes. That's why the 1990s saw a low, steady rate of inflation -- because there was so little greed. But starting around 2022, we saw a sudden surge of greed, when there was so little greed beforehand. And that's how things got so expensive!

You might consider reading up on a subject called "economics".

"Economics" was invented by the wealthy elites as a tool of class control to justify their bottomless, insatiable greed. All "Economics" does is rationalize the obviously failing status quo.

And gravity is just an auto industry conspiracy to keep people from flying.

Considering that there are many different schools of economists with very varied ideas, that's absurd. I think you don't even understand the definition of 'economics'.

Unless you're claiming people have become more greedy recently this can't be an explanation.

Many markets are becoming oligopolies and inequality is skyrocketing. So yes: greed.

Venezuela and Zimbawe have a higher percent of greedy persons than other countries, that explains all. Venezuelans, you should stop being so greedy!

I'm going to upvote it so it can be preserved as an example of why things are more expensive: People do not understand economics.
