What caused this?
>>217781331Movie theaters don't make much money on ticket sales. Thats why every movie theater now is basically a restaurant.
>>217781331ok but in 1976 dollars $3.50 is $1976
>>217781331Endless money printing from the federal reserve.
>>217781331Only americans could afford to go to cinema in 1976.Take your meds.
>>217781415>dude inflation just happens naturally and isn't caused by money printing lmaopropaganda
>>217781398no you got it mixed up, $3.50 in 2026 dollars is $2,026
>>217781331Blame all the npcs of the world who think taxes are an actual real thing that makes the world go round and not just a jew invention to keep you poor and literally zero of it goes back into the town your in, evidently. Blame them for constantly buying all this slop with their benefit money that cuts yours paycheck in half.
>>217781415>When prices rise, wages rise too, in order to maintain living costs.It's a shame that real capitalism has never been tried.
>>217781398Imagining thinking inflation is real. If you stripped everything away the last moment is some jew who sits at the top just going "lol make prices of this product higher fuck them, fuck the businesses that buy it" etc
>>217781466>a jew invention to keep you poor and literally zero of it goes back into the town you're inYou're thinking of profit
>>217781415>when prices rise, wages rise>but your business bills get increased, your house bills get increased so you all stay poor stillFucking jew world>>
>>217781331capitalism
>>217781415>when prices rise, wages rise too, in order to maintain living costs.
>>217781514it's called an inflationary spiral, and it's why they jack up interest rates during periods of inflation to try to keep it under control, since high interest rates basically forced unemployment
>>217781484>>217781539>capitalism is when the government controls half the economy and prints a gorrilian dollars which distorts markets and causes the affordability crisisyou people are fucking tools and advocate even MORE money printinglmao>>217781509you have no idea what profit even is
>>217781631The government is taking a more active stake because the neoliberal era was catastrophic for ordinary people. Nobody wants your unfettered capitalism that converted the West into a service economy that produces nothing.
From Frasier (tv show from the 90s):>I will pay for my own coffee, how much is it?>$1.50>FOR COFFEE?! WHAT KIND OF WORLD ARE WE LIVING IN?!
>>217781331>government increases spending either on social programs or military depending on which party is in charge>but they don't want to raise taxes to pay for it because that's unpopular, especially for republicans>so they print a bunch of money to pay for it instead>this acts as a tax on the poor who have their money in cash which loses value instead of stocks which don't>but they don't notice they're being taxed so it's fine
>>217781331JewsNo I'm sorry that's low IQ antisemitismAbandoning the gold standard and printing money with reckless abandon to support a welfare state at home and middle eastern adventures abroadTo support open borders at home and our greatest ally abroadBoth projects ofThe Jews
>>217781706>neoliberal erawhat neoliberal era? We've had extreme government control, endless money printing endless government spending since the 70s?We're facing the consequences now.We need a free market to get ourselves out of this mess.>Nobody wants your unfettered capitalism that converted the West into a service economy that produces nothing.lmfao you are so incredibly brainwashedwhat an absolute toolYou people advocate for even more money printing and more housing and stock market bubbles kek
>>217781631>you have no idea what profit even isSure I do, it's the money I spend on a train ticket which goes to improve railroads in Germany and Japan
>>217781331Because Holywood is essentially a money laundering front, theyre in the business of paying thousands of people loads of money to do fuck all, and they recuperate that money by charging cinemas to pay them the rights to show they film. Cinemas then have to pass those costs onto consumers.If Hollywood didn't insist on blowing millions on every aspect of filmmaking, cinemas would be cheaper.
>>217781834>why don't you have a totalitarian socialist slave state like we do in GERMANY?
>>217781415Such horseshitInflation is *not* the increase of costs.Inflation is the devaluing of currency through its increased supply (i.e. Money printing)The ensuing rise in costs is a symptom and consequence of inflation
>>217781415If an item is low in supply or high in demand, and it's price goes up, that's not inflation.
>>217781775Neoliberalism was a period of deregulation, privatisation, and reduced government oversight. We already have something close to what you free market absolutists want and it was literally the worst time in Western history.None of our countries have any major manufacturing industries anymore because they were all offshored by greedy faggots. You have no way of preventing that unless you make people accept Bangladesh tier wages.Also free markets are just retarded and unrealistic in an era dominated by industries that require heavy state investment. Taiwan is the global semiconductor king because the state nurses the industry so much.
>>217781497let me guess, you blame the jews when you run out of milk
>>217781415>wages increase tooAt the same exact rate and across all fields, right?
>>217781331Yeah let's all go to the movies and watch the 9th consecutive year of the entire industry shitting out progressively worse ripoffs of The Good The Bad and The Ugly.
>>217781947>Neoliberalism was a period of deregulation, privatisation, and reduced government oversightIt didn't even happen.Neoliberalism is just a meme leftist retards came up because they're compulsive liars.Reagan increased regulations and tripled the national debt.We've been hyper keynesian/mmt since nixon took us off the gold standard.That's literally the problem.Imagine thinking the largest levels of government debt and largest amount of money printing/government spending in human history is "neoliberal unfettered capitalism"There's no other conclusion to make from this except the fact you people are lying or brain damaged.>We already have something close to what you free market absolutists wantlmao
>>217781331>$38yeah those are kids drinks and popcorn
>>217781331>lets put the nigger with the white woman in the 70s in our inflation graphic
Covid and VOD being 45 days
>>217781331You already know
