Higher and higher, worse and worse

What a heck is going on? THe prices for all consumer products have gone high enough, but with this increase , which is actually hitting badly on family budget, the QUALITY of products is just sliding down day by day! In Carrefour, the prices go high every day, but you don't even wanna buy stuff, as it is more like trash, than food...is this gonna change some day? Are the companies gonna increase salaries, allowances and stuff?

izzy, every government is concerned about inflation. They hire economists who have to solve an equation with three variables: Inflation, jobless rate and liquid money. Unfortunately only approximations for this equation are available. So, depending on the quality of the hired economists the solutions will be good or bad.

honda, I have to be like that. They expect this here from me. I once tried to be nice and I was instantly warned not to.

... you have to control closely your purchases.

As everybody does (because inflation is for everyone) Carrefour and others will start to lose money (because nobody buy their goods and started to have problems with stock). So in some point they will go down on prices to sell the stock and get critical mass (it is worthy to get a penny from 1 million people than 1 pound from only 1 hundred).

It sounds nice simplified, but it takes time and hurts.

It is like poker, "I will not buy", "yes, you wil do", "no, I will not until you dont get down your prices", "I will not do and you will finally come because you like my goods..."

The one stronger wins.

LOL - what a simplification - LOL

It will go higher and higher, and the value of your money will go lower and lower, and we call this "inflation".
