minus-squarelynny@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoAm I just being ignorant in thinking it’s strange that these vendors need to increase their prices by 24% when inflation is not even double digits?
minus-squaredystop@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoCorporate greed. It happens with everything, be it prices of microchips or mashed potato.
minus-squarenivenkos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoWow, I wish I lived where inflation wasn’t double digits.
minus-squarelynny@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoThat’s the US apparently. Is it worse elsewhere?
minus-squarenivenkos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoIn Sweden and the UK, although it’s come down a bit at least. The food inflation is especially crazy, it was over 20% for a while. But I think the Eastern European countries like Lithuania, Estonia, etc. have had it the worst - but at least they were starting from lower prices.
minus-squareOneDimensionPrinter@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI suspect you are not being ignorant, but don’t actually know. However, with rEcOrD pRoFiTs every quarter, well I just don’t care, it’s too much. EVERYTHING is expensive now. And it sucks. I miss my $1.99 milk and $1.50 per gallon for gas :(

Eastern Europe can’t get a break…
