It's almost as though the governments should do their jobs and fucking put cost controls. Seriously, we need some new economic thought/ practice. Just like how several generation's ago they figured out that wages are sticky, they need to put cost caps or restrictions to stop this shit. Instead of cutting the money supply and people's lifelines, they need to fucking tell businesses to cut the crap and stop the bullshit. Since then pandemic every industry feels like they can price gouge and get away with it. It's fucking ridiculous. If you put a stop to that, then you have some hope of resigning in inflation.

I'm not really for price caps but I'm very into billionaires taxed to pay public funds since they literally don't want to pay people to work.
