My stress level is so high. This is my fear that my landlord in my San Francisco studio will do this to us. I gave up my car, I got a roommate what more do they want us to do. I'm 36 and pay all my bills on time and yet the bank's won't sell me a home but it's ok for me to pay $3,200 for a studio. The government is letting this happen on purpose. Were too smart as a society for this to not have been planned.😭

The cost of living crisis appears to be a global problem, although here in the US it has been made worse by the increase in the prices of many goods.

Why are we all putting up with it?

It is being said that prices especially for food is about to become more expensive for Americans SMH it's is ridiculous what's going on

In a post elsewhere in KZread, I asked: Is it my imagination, or are manufacturers and consumer pro- viders exacerbating the increase in inflation with price hikes and cost rises? I am a capitalist conservative, so I validate businesses earning a profit. But are their rates too high? Are they exacting too much, especially those of the lowest income, who are most vulnerable? In an inflationary cycle, especially one so heated, is it risky of even greater harm to erode consumer spending capacity even further?

My god how do they expect people to survive ? This is so terrible !!!

Anyone with a basic knowledge of economics could predict these high rates. With the governmental mandates to close the country down coupled with the tens of billions paid out for “COVID relief” and tens of billions paid out to the failed Ukraine government, inflation was sure to follow. Smart money says we are on the cusp of a recession.

Given the high inflation which has led to a reduction in the purchasing power of the consumer, CPGs are looking for new ways to attract customers. I think the arrival of digital coupons and the move to 8112 has been accelerated by this. Fobi is able to increase customer loyalty by issuing digital coupons through Qples, and more! This would be very useful to big brands, not only to increase their ROi, but give them the ability to attract customers based on real-time promotions! McDonalds, Burger King and many other brands could use Qples by fobi coupons to boost customer loyalty, ROI and improve their margins, while offering a unique experience to consumers.

Inflation has caused everyone's real earnings to fall 3.6% over the last 12 months. Coupled with a slowdown in the economy, workers hours have been declining, so actual, inflation-adjusted weekly earnings have fallen 4.4%. This coupled with June's inflation jump of 1.3%, the largest one-month spike since this inflation started, spells worrying economic times ahead. Remember which party brought you your economic woes.

Housing costs are one issue. A bigger, deeper issue is the reduced access to opportunity being a renter of personal housing and the lack of oversight on the restrictions put on landlords/rental agreements by legislators and or government. I believe being a renter creates circumstances where one looses access to opportunities that other non renters may have. In rental agreements they curb one from starting a business, or working on their own vehicle even if good discretion is used. Being a renter forces one to become a greater consumer and user of services. They pay way too much for the actual return. Really, it mainly a roof overhead with utility hookups that the renter will never own and a form of usury is put upon the renter. I believe multi family dwellings need to be better categorized according to size, amenities and total number of occupants. I believe smaller dwellings need laws where third party managers have greater restrictions and the owners have more obligation. Most renters are being taken advantage beyond reason and fairness.
