Why is everything so expensive? 

I had a family dinner recently and lots of ideas were thrown around including corp price gauging, supply chain issues, etc. I’ve always been convinced it is primarily money printing / inflation. 

What’s the actual reason why everything has increased so dramatically?

yep. prices post pandemic never came down in nyc. glad i switched to never eating out again.

p.s that has more to do with tracking macros than pure $$ take.
