Fair enough, you could say the prices are "inflated". There's a big difference though between inflation as the devaluation of currency that's been slowly happening "forever" and inflation in the sense of a guy selling shit simply racking up his prices and putting the surplus in his greedy little pockets. Of course you can choose to use the exact same word for both cases if you wish

The inflation is real.

109 USD in August 2024 is equivalent in buying power to $115.31 today. $33 from September 2025, adjusted for inflation, would be about $33.84 today.

This has absolutely nothing to do with inflation

Can you give me good and reliable sources on this genocide that china has been said to commit for years? Or simply explain what you believe is happening there so I can look it up further myself? I'm not baiting you I'm genuinely interested
