This is why everything is so expensive, and why nobody in power seems to care

19/11/2021

Across the West, prices are rising at their fastest rate for years but politicians and the media obsessed with climate change, Covid and culture wars don’t seem bothered with the hardship inflation is causing to ordinary people.

Just look at the UK. In Britain, the Consumer Price Index, which measures the average change in prices over time of goods and services, leapt to 4.2% in October, its highest rate since 2012. But that official figure only tells half the story because the prices of other essentials have risen much higher. Take petrol.

On May 29, 2020 the average price of a litre of petrol was 106.83p. By November 16, 2021 it climbed to 146.6p – amounting to a 37.22% increase. On May 29, 2020 it cost £58.76 to fill up a Ford Focus with a 55 litre petrol tank, on November 16, 2021, it was £80.63.

It’s already began in most of Colorado.
To own a house, you’re either filthy rich and living in some mansion with acres on the outskirts of town.
Or you’re in a tiny 900-1000 sq ft house in the inner city surrounded by poverty and the homeless.

Middle class are all in apartments here.

Inflation is a tax on the poor.

About the same as here. Theyve already introduced digital commie passes for schools+universities and no one does shit about it. I believe itll start to accelerate.

Its not necessary to make covid political there due to the tyrannical nature of the governement, therefore, people wont naturally rebel.

Purchasing power in UK is acutally one of the best in Europe. So this article is BS. Also as for the clothes there is no better place to buy them for good price like in UK.

You guys haven't lived in Spain.

Here the governments have provoked consecutive housing bubbles since the 80's in order to prevent the emancipation of the young couples that could form families and have sons.
