Shrinkflation, the hidden inflation that no one notices unless they are paying attention to what they buy. I wonder if they'll revert it back to the original size after deflation, but I'm leaning more towards the possibility of them not doing it because profit.
Yup everything is going up but now all of a sudden I'm seeing things like high end graphics cards, high end drones, (disposable income discretionary spending items) all drop in price.... not a good sign for sure.... especially when actual staple stuff keeps going up, means likely recession/depression/hypernova implosion coming

What would explain the drop in prices? Low demand but high supplies or expectations for customer's disposable income is low? Either way, you're right its not a good sign.

When gas, rent, food all get more expensive people have less to spend on nvidia gpu etc... seems the cushion has run out and inflation is actually hitting the bottom line of average semi afluent well to do Americans

I posted this link in the chinese economics thread due to discussion about US vs China GDP and when China might surpass the US.

But it's probably also quite relevant to post here as well.

With that said, can anyone verify some of the statements made in this artile? Such as the stuff about calculating rent on homeowners and the likes?
