    I live in Shanghai and today is Day 14 that I’ve been locked up. Haven’t set foot outside ! Others have been locked up since March. The food situation is real - it’s literally impossible to get food online as either shops have been suspended from operating and those who have special permits to sell have all their food sold out within seconds each morning (6am)
    Then you’ve got your Covid quarantine camps which you are sent to if you test positive. Mind you they don’t even have showers! It’s a terrible situation and there have been reports of multiple suicides due to the mental toll this lockdown is taking on people. Mentally speaking, I’m pretty exhausted myself and have plans to leave China in the summer

      I think we need to stop softening the blow with the word “recession”. This is going to be a depression. 4 top economist agree on this. When the market reached high in mid 1930 it took until mid 1932 to reach the bottom. people can’t buy when they have no food, the trucks don’t have DEF to mix with the diesel to run (in all diesel trucks newer than 2009) No trucks-no food-no fertilizer.

    Ultimately, inflation makes income inequality worse. It usually grows faster than wages. Rich people can invest in appreciating growth stocks or real estate. Still, rising food and energy prices can hurt the middle and lower class because those prices account for a significant portion of their monthly expenses.

So in a way, Trevor is selling his integrity for a paycheck as well. Although, if he refuses to sell his integrity, he'll be kicked off the air and replaced with someone else willing to sell their integrity. Not that this makes it ok or anything. Don't get me wrong, he is a funny guy, but it's basically guaranteed that there are certain truths like the one you mentioned here that he will never bring up. He basically lies by omission to maintain his career. Similar to politicians.

      From the root word inflate or to increase in size or amount.
      The causes for inflation are ALWAYS rooted in greed. Either taking advantage of a situation and using it to charge more or just deciding to charge ore just simply because you can.
      Like with the Epi-Pen. It used to be 100 dollars for two pens. I know several parents and when my kids were small who used to keep one with themselves and the other with the school's nurse. The child would carry one as well. There were two primary companies that made it. The one company purchased the other. This was allowed by the *Bureau* *of* *Competition division of the Federal Trade Commission. the *Security* *Exchange* *Commission*
      After the two companies combined, it eliminated a large portion of money that would be spend competing. Combined resources = less to make the same product.
      The CEO raised the price of an Epi-Pen to 600+ dollars. Parents with children who need this had to pay it. They had no choice.
