>>509011456>The inflation was hidden in lower costs of tech, digital distribution and bigger market scaleThat’s because capitalism is inherently deflationary, that’s what line go up means, an economy that grows at 2% a year is an economy that deflates at 2% a year. In the so called robber baron era prices went down for 30 years. Prices are sticky of course and so going down is the last thing they will do but before that they will improve in quality. That’s what people don’t understand, shrinkflation comes long before inflation, before the prices went up at the store they reduced the amount of food in the bag, used cheaper ingredients, switched to cheaper contractors and laid off workers, inflation is the degradation and destruction of society as a whole and without it will we get back to the good old days when products were hard and functional and high quality.
