something i’ve realized watching all of this play out a sandwich that jumps from $8 to $14 never goes back to $8. rent that climbs from $1,400 to $2,200 stays at $2,200 forever. gas, groceries, insurance, all of it. prices only move in one direction inflation becomes permanent the moment everyone accepts the new number. and we always accept it because we have no other choice then workers ask for raises just to survive the prices they had nothing to do with creating. and suddenly they’re the problem. they’re “hurting the economy” by wanting to afford food the economy for who exactly. because whoever it’s working for it sure as hell isn’t us
