2020 - the government asks us to stay home for six weeks, people riot (they really wanted haircuts I think?)

2025 - a can of corn kernals is $4, people do not riot

I hate it here

1980 - sugar price goes up once 10%, CIA "union" grinds economy to a halt

1991 and ever since - sugar price goes up 10% per year/month/week depend on how much "reforms" solidarność did (everything else too), nobody bats an eye
