I don’t think inflation is normal here. It’s still about 8%.
I wonder whether these positive comments come from those that are well off.
It's not. It's around 3%
I live in Ecuador and crime overtook us here... There's some hope tho with new young president taking some action.
But in general the world is MUCH better as it was in the 80s for MOST PEOPLE.
unfortunately for those that were privileged before, it may seem untrue. But ask the average rice farmers grandkids if they're better off as their grandpa was....
I just checked, it’s about 3 here.
So I’m wrong, doesn’t seem like prices have changed much, but hey ho.
