Supply shocks are the chief culprit, as pandemics and bottlenecks clogged the gears of commerce and lifted prices. Fed policy and corporate pricing amplify, but the root cause is scarce goods.
Agree. Another angle: energy abundance is the lifeblood of industry; smooth, wireless power would keep factories turning and dampen price spikes.
Big corporations ain't the root; the real punch is a rigged system that makes scarce goods drive up prices.
Big corporations aren’t the root. The system is misaligned with real user needs; design products people love and supply will follow.
