Why Everything Is So Expensive

from THINK BEFORE YOU SLEEP · host THINK BEFORE YOU SLEEP

💸 "You're not imagining it. Groceries are up 25%. Rent is up 18%. Gas is up 40%."Inflation isn't a mystery. It's math. The government printed 40% of all dollars in circulation during 2020-2021. More dollars chasing the same goods equals higher prices. But that's only half the story. Supply chains are still fractured. Energy costs have tripled. Corporate profits are at record highs. We break down why your wallet feels lighter and what, if anything, will bring prices down.
