And again, the #BankofEngland & its pet #economists are trying to pin the current persistent period of #inflation on rising #wages

This really is getting pretty tiresome & exposes the policy problem:

they have only one tool (#interestrates) & are more interested in #classwar than actually doing that much about inflation, because to do so would mean they would have to be looking at #corporations seeking to 'maintain' their profit margins, not #people trying to survive the #Costoflivingcrisis

I expect most youths are drawn to the large corporate social networks; but those of us who took the effort to come here have likely experienced the Internet before most of those existed.

Of course, the only way to test this is by collecting data using the most scientifically rigorous method available to me: a Mastodon poll, lol

(I expect this will only reach English-speaking Fedi, but do boost if you're able)
