    Please do not normalize this rampant artificial inflation. There is no reason prices should be as high as they are. None. Corporate profits are higher than ever. This is pure and simple corporate greed. This should not be normal.

        Ive honestly become more aware of this and I am doing my best to be better about it. I try to shop local. I’ve mostly moved to free and open source software. My last car and all future cars will be used cars from the 90s. I try to buy used mostly everything honestly.

        I got serious about my data and digital foot print.

        I don’t want to be a product any more.

      You are right, however, if publicly traded corporation’s profits are high, you can hop on that gravy train through the stock market.
