Do you claim that the era of cheap consumer goods has already ended in the west? You really haven't experienced what expensive consumer goods feels like.
Tell me, what does it look like? (Srsly I don't understand)
Because the groceries here in Canada are damn expensive, compared to Dubai, U.A.E or Singapore, considering my migrant parents' salaries there must either be more larger, have better purchasing parity or both....
It looks like the cost of the latest iPhone or premium Android device being over half a years salary at minimum wage. Eating fast food becomes a luxury because it's expensive.
Luanda, Angola is what will happen when global supply chains collapse. KFC cannot be had for less than 20 US dollars. A pint of Haagen-Dazs costs 17 US dollars. This is what will become of imported consumer goods once global supply chains collapse.
Consider that in the USA even poor people drive cars. Do you think that poor people in all countries can afford to drive cars? In many places, a Toyota Camry is considered a luxury item.
20 US dollars is quite a bit more when you view it from the perspective of an Angolan salary, rather than a western salary. But I do reckon we are in the early stages of a global supply chain collapse.
Yeah, I was mostly joking, but inflation has increased a lot lately, people can afford less and less these days, rent's going up, bills are going up, cost of living is going up. I've been used to not being able to afford much my entire adult life, but quite a few of my friends are finding out that "living within their means" has quite a bit less spending than it did a few years ago.
As if it hasn't, already...

Hell yeah I'm gonna lose weight

Oh, looks like the collapse is already here in Australia then. KFC is expensive as fuck over here.

Good thing Israel can fix this overnight if it wants to.
Unfortunately, Israel cannot fix the Panama Canal drought overnight if it wants to.
Panama Canal traffic cut by more than a third because of drought
The entire world really is turning into Guatemala lol This is pretty close to how we live as well. It sucks.
