Question

What are your views on the prices increase for all items?

Answer 1

It's a good thing. In a healthy economy prices will always rise at a certain rate. If they rise too fast, i.e. if you have runaway inflation, then it's not good...it means there's no point trying to save because your money will quickly be worth much less. It's also not good if prices don't rise at all...it has a number of negative effects on profits and employment. But in every economy there is a "sweet spot" where the level of inflation is just right. It's closely related to employment level, where at any given moment you have a natural level of X percent of the population unemployed and between jobs. Exactly what these ideal levels are is a matter of debate, but it arguably leads to a much more robust and healthy economy if it can be maintained.

Answer 2

with the use of technology cost of products icreases and this leads to increase in prices. many other factors like shortage, hoarding, speculation and smuggling are the main raesons of increase in prices

Answer 4

I could simply say:

90% of the problem is the OIL because:

- oil price affect the basic production of any good, from food to objects that we all need and use every day, especially since we created a society made of plastic.

- oil price affect the transportation of these goods to the markets

- oil price affect directly us, so we spend more in fuel and we have less money in the pockets

- oil price influence the whole stock markets because is one of the basic products in speculation, and this affect the speculation of the investors so they invest in agricoltural products (making increase the prices).

At this point it became a chain, mining the basic products to make profit now everything increase the price and the disaster is done!

- another big factor is the inflaction, it means that your money loose the power of buying, in other words to buy the same object you need more money.

- on top of this there is a really worring thing: LESS CONSUME = LESS PRODUCTION and this means that a business to survive (paying all the expenses) has to increase the prices on the single product in sale, and they start firing people, since they dont have a lot of production. And here we go again: Those people fired has no money anymore to buy, so there is again less cosume!!!

Our big problem is that we became slaves of the OIL!!! all our society has been based from our predecessors on the OIL economy, and basically we all are slaves of the Oriental countries: think this: if all in once all the productors of OIL they stop, we cant do anything, prices of everything will be on the stars, we can not move anymore, we can not have electricity, we can not even have medicine since also those use chemicals extracted from oil, and we can not even start a war to get it back, since all our airplanes, armored trucks etc etc works with that black nice OIL !!!!

..Im just a little worried..for my future and my future kids..
