UK: Food inflation rises to 18.2% as it hits highest rate in over 45 years
I cannot believe supermarkets  these days, it is insane the increases in prices, I’ve seen £5 for a tube of normal toothpaste and £6 for a tiny Pizza that is sometimes available for £3. How people on modest salaries survive I don’t know.<p>Quite often I’m starting to notice dark patterns in pricing where things you normally didn’t worry about will have randomly increased by £2-3 and you get the checkout and you’ve spent £25-30 on next to nothing.<p>I wonder if inequality increases caused by printing trillions of dollars during COVID are anything to do with this inflation? Could it be that making the rich endless more wealthy and increasing asset prices is bad for society?<p>How do we fix this? Some people think redistribution of the increases the wealthy have had over COVID back to the poor would be a good move, but is this all inequality?
