  • Wow, some terrible answers in here. Look, dumb answers like steal, riot or “eat the rich” don’t do anything. You all sitting there acting like internet keyboard warriors literally does nothing to solve this issue so wake up and get a grip.

    To answer op’s question, the only thing one can do is not engage with it. Price increases or not it’s still a free market and you do have choices on what you buy. You don’t need a new truck, or phones or organic eggs or whatever they want to sell you. Take care of yourself, learn to be budget conscious, work on your career and your own journey and ignore the rest, it’s noise. Truly if you’re underwater and can’t afford to live where you are, move. There are places in every state that remain cheap. Food should not be a problem in this country. Everyone can afford $50-100 a week for food and you can stay in that budget if you learn what to buy and what to make with it. If everyone did that it’d be far more effective than rioting or stealing or any other dumb response.

    Alternate viewpoint: We’re forged in the fires of adversity. No longer are things easy or handed to us, we make our own road. We learn, teach ourselves, work our passions and figure things out against all odds. We’re stronger, wiser and ultimately happier for it, despite outward appearances










  • I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, I was going to say the same thing. “Everything” is quite the exaggeration, most people are just fine without junk tech companies. Things are more expensive and they’ll probably keep getting more expensive because they’ve been out of balance for decades. Food, gas etc. should be more expensive, we’ve just been blessed with cheap labor and subsidies. Climate issues aside we’re all going to be just fine
