>luxuries are for the top 1% of the planet

>wealthy countries:
>US: population increase
>EU: east europe joins the wealthy
>China: more of it is wealthy year on year (literally eating the planet to death, see: illegal fishing, african donkeys, pig farming, their own biodiversity)

>UK:
>invites more and more people every year

>no new land discovered to increase supply of goods
>"alternatives" discovered (sweeteners, palm oil, dehydrated milk, veganism, literal bugs), luxuries "improved" by changing their recipes

>"Why are luxuries costing more and shrinkflation happening?"
Imagine what everyone without solely British ancestry disappearing tomorrow would do for fuel prices. Imagine what if Germany kept its nuclear power plants. Imagine what if Poland was still asking you to invest.

Imagine if boomers had to shrinkflate their houses in direct proportion to population increases and how fast politics would move then.
