TLDR:

Current ad free plans for Disney+ and Hulu are now raising $3 more on October 12. Both becoming $13.99 and $17.99.

    Bank: we’re increasing your mortgage

    Supermarket: we’re increasing your food spend

    Car insurance: we’re increasing your premium

    Household bills: we’re increasing water, gas and electricity

    Broadband: we’re increasing your fees

    Cellphone: your contract renewal is higher than last year

    Salary: fuck you, peasant

    Bank Of England: Just stop spending

    When in the last 120 years was this NOT a case? Sure, few last years have been fucked more than usual, but we are still living pretty comfortable lives. Inflation is natural.

      What happens when spendings are bigger than income, genius?

      Of course it’s been happening for a hundred years that’s why it got so bad. At some point water boills, sur prize

      Jokes aside, we’ll see our first generation of homeless labourers.

        It’s already happened in Hong Kong for decades with the coffin apartments. It’s just now more prominently occurring in the west.

        All businesses must move to a circular economy. This infinite growth nonsense is what’s causing this and it’s impossible to have infinite growth.

      A YoY inflation rate of ~10% is most assuredly not natural in most of the developed world. I fully understand why it happened, but that serves no justification for the negative impact on the lives of the majority of the population.

        And the increase in the price of goods that I’ve seen around me has been more like 30%, not 10. It’s blatant price gouging, but the government refuses to act to stop it.
