yet another article blaming inflation and not corporate greed, while the "advice" is to look for sales and beg money off of family

  • things are more expensive

  • try to buy less expensive things

  • least expensive things become as expensive as previously "luxury" things

  • ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • profit (except, not you)

~~try to buy less expensive things~~

  • Have a rich parent

That's the advice I see and get every time. The buy less is not allowed for Americans and more or less just used to try and end a conversation.

Inflation is a symptom. Corporate greed is the cause (in this case). They are not exclusive.
