Do you claim that the era of cheap consumer goods has already ended in the west? You really haven’t experienced what expensive consumer goods feels like.
Tell me, what does it look like? (Srsly I don’t understand)
Because the groceries here in Canada are damn expensive, compared to Dubai, U.A.E or Singapore, considering my migrant parents’ salaries there must either be more larger, have better purchasing parity or both…
Luanda, Angola is what will happen when global supply chains collapse. KFC cannot be had for less than 20 US dollars. A pint of Haagen-Dazs costs 17 US dollars. This is what will become of imported consumer goods once global supply chains collapse.
Consider that in the USA even poor people drive cars. Do you think that poor people in all countries can afford to drive cars? In many places, a Toyota Camry is considered a luxury item.
It looks like the cost of the latest iPhone or premium Android device being over half a years salary at minimum wage. Eating fast food becomes a luxury because it’s expensive.
price of consumer goods rise
if it escalates into something bigger, it might lead to the end of cheap consumer goods in the west
As if it hasn’t, already…
