Is this the third or fourth excuse in the last 5 or so years for the excessively rich to rinse the rest of us of more money and go off and hoard it? Isn’t it time that the excessively wealthy did their part in this forever-“cost of living”-crisis?
Grocery prices may rise, but eating the rich is always affordable
Ffs. All because some orange cunt doesnt want people to see the proof of him diddling kids
If we didn’t let him use our airbases to launch attacks it would be considerably harder. Our government is complicit, and supports it
Let’s not forget who was pushing for Britain to back this war and let’s not let them forget it either.
It’s a shame every country affected couldn’t sue the US and Israel for compensation.
will it go back to the normal price? ever?
No. The whole purpose of neoliberlism’s shock doctrine is the devalue currency and increase capital wealth. It’s aim is to make us poorer and make the rich richer.
Things don’t go back to “normal prices”, prices will always go up (ideally) and your wages go up to balance.
The issues we’re facing at the moment is a pretty constant series of inflationary shocks and the controls governments and central banks have on trying to balance them tend to work on a much longer time scale resulting in sharp decreases in people’s spending power.
and your wages go up to balance
Damn, seems like they keep forgetting this part
Food was horrifically underpriced before, as supermarkets fought price wars and drove many producers to ruin.
Brexit has hit farming hard and Britain no longer benefits from the singe market.
We’re in a very dry spell lasting over 18 months and the harvest will suffer greatly this year and for the foreseeable future until theres a very wet few years.
So no, prices aren’t going back.
The concept of “normal price” doesn’t make sense
It’s illegal to question normalcy. Accept. Obey. Endure.
“normal price” is whatever the price was before the first time you personally remember inflation being in the news ;)
That would mean negative inflation, which probably wouldn’t be great for the economy.
Yeah, negative inflation is a short-cut to economic collapse. Imagine if you knew a thing you wanted to buy would be 10% cheaper in a week and 25% in two weeks. Why would you buy anything today?
The consequences of not decoupling from the usa decades ago even now the west refuse to put pressure on the usa and israel to end the war and blame iran instead
Pretty glad I recently fixed my mortgage for 5 years at £200 a month less than it was, I bought the house shortly after Truss fucked the economy. Now I’ll use that money to buy a potato.
More seriously though food for the 2 of us is under £30 a week at aldi and we could cut back quite a bit if necessary.
Fear not your king will save you.
