      That’s the root cause but many people refuse to do basics such as substitution or foregoing consumption where possible.

      Examples such beef and vacations.

      Also, such thing as outright needless consumption like excessive clothing.

      At least second hand markets have picked up so certain groups are willing to adjust but critical math has not been hot yet.

      With that being said, rent, health insurance, transportation is one of them things… Where they really did corner the peasants.
