Well not from me. Any money I spend more on something is money I spent less elsewhere cause my income hasn’t changed. If vegetables are more expensive, yeah I buy em, but in the end I buy less of them. Where’s that extra money supposed to be coming from?
Of course they do…the prices have increased 30% or so in a couple of years (yet wages/service costs have not gone up that much)
Economists and beaurucrats in Japan have a warped sense of reality
Just a few years ago the bent was people wanted to spend more as they didn’t like deflationary trend in Japan -their twist was people weren’t spending as they thought the prices would go lower so the governments drive was to raise prices thinking wages would as well
They have no concept of reality
See? Nothing to do with yen. It’s just corporate greed.
Japan too??? With right wing shift it’s going to get worse
This exact scenario seems to happen over and over again in every capitalist country. Something has to give eventually, and it seems that is going to be soon.
I mean… It’s basic math. If you have to increase your price by 10%, profit will follow by a similar amount. If everything is at equilibrium at 100$, and basic produce and labor goes up by 10%. You need to augment profit so you can cover the same way you did before.
