Increasing cost of living - how can we cope?

[DYOR+BTC]

The cost of living has only increased for the poor and this is how the super rich will ensure a plane ticket or owning a house that requires property tax etc will become an unaffordable luxury for the masses while they own the governments you are allowed to vote for.

Inflation have been affecting everything around us and people continue to make the mistake to think that the government is coming after them. Both the rich and employed are am facing the same issues and this is why we have been seeing so many companies going bankruptcy because of the harsh economy.

The government seems to be working and trying to tell the masses to be patient with them. We are in a time where maintaining a business needs a lot of money and when their is no sufficient money to fix the right thing, businesses can go bankruptcy with in the space of time.

For now I will say the government appears to be one of the major cause of inflation and this depends on the leader controlling power at that point in time. Constitutionaly, its the duty of every government to provide a conducive environment for habitation to citizens but when ever there objectives changes, everything changes also and it becomes difficult doing things that will be beneficial to citizens, instead they introduce strategies that will enrich themselves and increase inflation in the country.
One of the most difficult task is maintaining a business without money,  many suffer serious lost when inflation hits and will remain so because governments at times do fail citizens when they are needed most

There are many causes of inflation, not just money printing or corruption. So blaming the government as the main cause is basically ignoring the bigger picture.

Sure, government should bear much of the responsibility for rising inflation and its impact on people's lives. But we also need to understand that many factor behind inflation are beyond their control. Wars, covid, rising energy price, and other external shock can all push inflation much higher. If you were the government, what would you do in this situation to deal with inflation?

So before blaming the government, we should look at what is actually driving inflation. You can't put all the blame on the government just because they're the ones in charge.
