OP hasn't returned to their "Let them eat cake" thread. Maybe they realized that they were....well, in nicer terms perhaps they saw that it was not received well.
Every flight I am taking (with airfares 50% higher) is packed to the gills. Wanna go from Miami to LA? It's gonna cost $1000+, and every flight is booked solid.
Expensive restaurants (where entrees start at $70 a plate) are packed.
The roads are still jammed with SUVs that cost nearly $200 to fill up.
Many hotels are charging exorbitant rates and yet are sold out.
Food prices are through the roof, yet people are paying them.
Corporations are raking it all in.
Not to mention all the millions of people spending millions of dollars on overvalue real estate, with now 6% interest.
Seems to me like Americans have absolutely no problem with inflated prices.
its NOT that Americans have no problem with inflation...fact is its killing 99%
but people still have to live.... people were cooped up for 1-2 years
the ones working, are still earning money...many of their jobs pay transportation costs for when the HAVE TO travel for the job
the ones that are really hurting....the ones on a fixed income
Nope, instead I see 3 million dollar homes flying off the shelves in my area!
I'm in an area that's pretty much built out and demand for homes/land on the market FAR outstrips the supply. Bidding wars are a given. Average selling price increased by 20% last year. In just one year.
there are a lot of millionaires, and/or well off people in the US
just because you are seeing M$ homes selling fast, doesnt mean that the 99% are not hurting
I never said that; what I'm saying is that MANY Americans are continuing to spend as though there's no inflation problem
