- s1artibartfast 3y agoThere has to be a better explanation than extra spending by the wealthy is replacing spending by the poor in such a diverse set of consumer goods and services. I don't think Bezos and Musk are eating all the eggs and butter, driving up the price.
- iinnPP 3y agoIm talking about the people who are not struggling right now. All of them.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoOK, so you agree that most consumers have more money and therefore are willing to tolerate higher prices. This seems like the only explanation given that a minority of consumers cant eat all the eggs, beans, and produce to drive the market.
