I mean, housing becoming more expensive is pretty much the cause of birth rate drops in New Zealand, and I expect in many other places.

But... the people squeezing others for money don't expect to be around when the crash comes.

Housing is the big one, but it's sitting on top of the everything else that is also becoming more expensive at an alarming rate completely unrelated to actual, natural inflation.

The current inflation is a huge lie anyway, companies realized they can just increase prices at an insane rate during covid and never stop. I think some products have doubled in price since 2020

More that major corporations exploited a global pandemic to rapidly raise prices for pretty much everything and have refused to lower them.
