I am not rich and for now I can still afford food. But this is definitely insane and the poor are suffering hard.
- kmonsen 5y agoWow, that’s a 50% monthly inflation rate!! The canned beans will be $129 in a year and almost 17k in two years.
- angelzen 5y agoThat's how inflation behaved in many historical situations. I'm bookmarking this comment, at least I'll have the pleasure of "I told you so" if the authorities fail to bring inflation under control.
