Calling greedflation not real is absolutely functionally running cover for it. You are either wrong or gaslighting. If you donpt know you are wrong, then you are srill functionally gaslighting, just also gaslighting yourself.
Stop gaslighting. Greedflation is real. So is Shrinkflation. They are terms for phenomina that actually happen.

Yeah… You’re arguing points I never disagreed with. Just because I think greedflation is a moronic term doesn’t mean Im a gaslighter lmao. Price gouging is an awful practice. It is actually illegal in the civilized world, unlike America. Take a deep breath and a step back mate. You’ll feel better.

You might want to read this comment I posted elsewhere on the thread, but greedflation objectively isn’t a thing, at least not in the US during and immediately after the COVID epidemic. It definitelyfeels like it, as one can tell from your…heated rhetoric, but that’s due to a lot of other issues, not because it actually happening.
So-called “shrinkflation” is definitely real, but I don’t think anybody is arguing otherwise, and it’s not exactly a new phenomenon. It’s been happening and being measured for decades and decades.
