But price increases of cereals ( bread, pasta, grains, etc.) increased by about 7,5 % last year alone, which is more than the inflation, and more than the increase after inflation.
That’s where people might complain. They still can’t afford food, as food prices increase faster than overall inflation
I appreciate a data supported argument, and love that you actually linked sources.
One thing that I feel is missing in most of the linked analyses is that inflation has also hit unevenly, and the price of basic goods has increased significantly more than overall inflation. Which would explain why households still have less disposable income, also the mean debt burden is much higher leading to loan costs being more common.

Have you seen the numbers? Could you link them?
The only thing I’ve been able to find is 2,2 million “encounters” in a high year, over the whole country.
Germany takes in a million immigrants per year by itself, and has at least a handful of encounters per immigrant to process them. Also has a bunch of encounters with illegal immigrants.
Germany is smaller than Texas.
When the option is generational medical debt…
Now we only have to elect decision makers that make policy on facts and not feelings.
Ah, but you’re just saying that as a professional troll.
Now compare that to: I think you’re mistaken, intent matters, and I believe extending trust that both parties want to convey something, rather than just dismiss others, is necessary for a discussion, and also for a communal discourse. If we’re just shouting into the void, no trust is needed, but for interactions and building a sense of community, we will need both trust and norms of collaboration.
Baselessly ascribing malicious intent is moreso a way to sow distrust and kill off discussion.
And besides, unless local regulations expressly forbid it, the income statements of those companies are after any fines and after any profit reducing measures (e.g. Amazon famously use investment schemes to reduce taxation), they do make the money to cover them in the shorter interval, or even shorter.
Oh no, with Amazon only having a 3,5 % margin (after fines), it would take them all of 48 hours to make up the losses.
The point still stands: the fines are ridiculously low for these companies, and they have no incentive to change based on current fines.
Because we don’t have the time or energy to play the game ourselves…
Um, what?
I’m just reminding you of basic defence against information warfare, something that’s much too easy to forget.
In case you’re unfamiliar with the framework, ASU has a convenient summary.
It’s a decent way to stay sane® on the internet, and a good way to not aid the enemy in their misinformation campaigns.
Then you should probably revise where you get your information from. Seems reality doesn’t conform to your beliefs.
If you read the article it says that the data is from FBI
Shh, they’re trying to catch up
Also quite useful for places short on water, or daylight, or clement weather, or low-value ecosystems, or where transportation is unfeasible due to accessibility, environmental conditions, market access.
Also quite good to alleviate food deserts, securing strategic supply chains, and supporting urbanisation for greenification, food supply, lowering transport and food security (with growing food also having positive mental and psychosocial effects).
Check out the Nordics, that’s how they do it over there.
Correct, but they would often benefit from having collective bargaining against the board of directors or other owners.
And organising themselves as a union would also show them that unions aren’t evil and shift focus from exploitation to cooperation. Besides, many unions would have much use of being able to speak for the whole industry in matters of legislation, either as lobby or expert.
Actually, the executives should probably also unionise, it will help normalise negotiations and spread best practices that lead to a better work environment for all.
Oh, we need both for sure, and renewables as well.
It already has?
