    I look at the price gouging posts daily… What stopped them from bleeding us before? Hadn’t built the bread and circuses up to this level yet?

      There was less money to take. Wages went up, so prices go up even faster.

      Inflation is how the ruling class recoups any gains the working class has made, with interest.
