Again, I can see you're one of the few who are well off and have a nice, comfy financial buffer to fall back to. Congratulations! But I don't get how you can brush off fuel prices that have almost doubled since 2 years ago, almost double the butter and egg prices, rocketing energy prices, to just name a few examples as "ridiculously small" and "nothing really serious" when a good chunk of the populations live more or less hand-to-mouth and can barely afford such a drastic and sudden increase of living costs? This to me is simply willful oblivion, and it's sad to see how people never learn from the past.

I don't know where you are taking your data from. In Berlin, you can but butter for €2.20-€2.50. Do you want to say that in 2020 I could buy butter for €1.10? Same with eggs - €2.70-€3.00 a dozen. I don't think you could buy them for €1.35 (that could be the price 10 years ago). I don't think I'm particularly well off. I rent my apartment and I don't even have a car. I regularly meet with the members of my family living in different places and the amount of complaining hasn't increased considerably. There are more Ukrainians everywhere mostly women with kids, but they're nice people and many of them are working wherever they can, it's very good for our economy.

  I'm getting my data from my own observations, buying for my family. At my place, eggs used to be 1.69€, now 2.29€. Butter used to be well below 2€, now 2.29€. Petrol with around 1.20€-1.40€ per liter just 2 years ago, now getting up to 2.30€ and beyond. Meat, for example beef, used to pay 7€ for a kilo, now 10€. Take electricity prices in Germany: Used to be around 20-30ct/kwH, now beyond 50ct/kwH. I mean just look at inflation this year, a staggering 8% and beyond - a new high since many decades. https://www.laenderdaten.info/Europa/Deutschland/inflationsraten.php https://www.laenderdaten.info/Europa/Deutschland/inflationsr... And all of this is only just the beginning. I'm seriously wondering which data you are looking at?
