Essentials get more expensive, non-essentials cheaper
Coincidence
The last 25 years, our money lost 92 % in value due to inflation. But what is especially important is to look at what exactly got more expensive and what got cheaper?
If you look closely, you can see that the truly essential stuff got a lot more expensive, like health care and text books for school for example.
On the other hand, TV’s lost 98 % in price, and even new cars got cheaper adjusted for inflation.
Intentionally?
The big question is this one, is this intentionally, or just a coincidence? I can not take away the thought that is all planned perfectly. To make a two tier society. Where the rich can afford it all, and the poor are… well f*cked!
Sincerely,

Great breakdown. The divergence between essential and non-essential price trends does seem too consistent to be accidental. Do you think this is driven more by policy, corporate strategy, or technological deflation in certain sectors? And where does crypto fit in—as a potential equalizer or another layer of exclusivity?
Good post, upvoted.
Yes the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, business as usual but on steroids.

This must be driven by government policies. I have my theories and opinions on to why this shift has been happening throughout the years.
I had to collect my thoughts 💭 this might have been considered a conspiracy theory 15+ years ago, but the 🌎 events point 👉 to it being reality.
What does Canada, the USA and Australia have in common? But not so much the USA under Donald J Trump. So let's add the UK, France, New Zealand etc.,
Citizens have been struggling under the weight of Government reckless inflationary spending, massive government overreach, excessively high taxation, and government gatekeepers placing themselves into every aspect of our daily lives. While Citizens struggle, these careless politicians take their luxurious, taxpayer funded trips to Davos for WEF conferences where they get to mingle with celebrities and give big speeches on their radical woke agenda specifically designed to ruin current societies just so they can fabricate a crisis Just like the Covid Fraud to force in Scams such as the Great Reset, alternatively called Build Back Better and the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
You raise a great question. My only concern is digital ID social systems and Cryptos based on CBDCs where, despite Blockchain being decentralized, the CBDC infrastructure is designed in a way where banks control the crypto that will essentially be the new currency for commerce.
Digital ID? Your entire life under one ID? For all to see? I don't like it. Because going full on digital opens up the door for controlling the populous.
CBDC = Central Bank Digital Currencies
If @lasseehlers didn't keep investing in pump and dump scams and promoting known crypto scammers like Richard "Spam King" Heart he wouldn't keep getting poorer. He only has himself to blame.
