As someone who lives in Toronto Canada this is 100% true.

Rent prices are through the roof as well close to paying a mortgage of its own. Because of basically unlimited borrowing, spending and money printing of our government cost of living is becoming unsustainable.

You could also say that prices going up is an expression of the value of your labor is going down. As automation becomes more and more ubiquitous the value of your work will tent towards zero.

[@dylanl2258]

I can't handle when people talk about inflation without talking about monopolistic price gouging. The equation for the relationship between demand and supply needs to include the leverage owners of resources have. If you have some monopoly controlling the supply for a good, supply and demand no longer flow fluidly. We have to stop listening to people who pretend to inform about economics, but refuse to address monopoly control.

[@GaHaus]

Glad to see someone actually mention supply and demand talking about the structural issues that if we were to agree on them, could be resolvable. Funny how many economists say supply/demand doesn’t apply when it comes to immigration, for reasons 🤷‍♂️ Immigration, in particular low skill, affects demand on services and tax collection at the lower end of the pay scale. And then many economists also seem to say mass import of cheap labour doesn’t push down wages 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ when everyone buying the cheap labour keeps saying “wow it’s amazing how cheap these workers are”
