I hate seeing all the silly price increases across the border right now.
I know that inflation has been complicated for a lot of unusual markets, because it’s not caused by one identifiable causal factor.
The pandemic on itself was a sizable catalyst for the economic situation we are facing right now. Right away there were supply lines shortages because workers had to conform to new instruction set forward by the cdc. However, it was also because people were getting sick & dying at the same time, a lot of companies had to send workers home in quarantine for 2 weeks at a time… You can only imagine what that does to all of the supply lines & therefore the prices that have to match it, but demand is the same or goes off while supply stagnates, prices are naturally going to increase. I do not guess we’ve gotten out of that to be fair with you. And then all of the other factors we’ve seen have just compounded the existing problem. Right now I’m trying to get an air cleaner for my kitchen however they have gone up in price. I’m honestly frustrated with the process of trying to find a new component when I can’t afford the new prices. I need an air cleaner for my kitchen because of my asthma complications. It’s legitimately crucial for me to have air that is being filtered 24 hours a day. Any dust that comes in from other rooms or from outside hastily it’s put into the air filter inside my air cleaner. These machines are essential for my long term health.
