The price of everything has become untenable. Utility rates. Groceries. Insurance rates. Rent/Owning costs. Gas prices. Vehicle prices. This is basic needs. Not even going to get into travel/entertainment/leisure item costs.

While some of these these prices are "moderating" I have to imagine way more people are feeling the squeeze than not and there has to be a reckoning.

I'm not sure you understand what basic needs are.

I would say housing, heat/ac and food are basic needs.

The old saying is the cure for high prices is high prices, but what if this is different, and we just move further into a two class economy?

I agree. Was just pointing out all of these aren't basic needs...

1 out of 6 maybe isn’t a basic need. The rest are.

Why don’t you inform the entire board about Maslow’s hierarchy of needs?

These are the most basic of needs if we want to maintain a 21st century society.

ETA: Now we can talk about how much rent and ownership are needs, or how much vehicle is a need, or how much insurance coverage is a need, but unless we want to drop our standards of living by about 200 years these are all basic needs. I would also say communication and broadband access qualifies as a basic need, and cell phone handles everything you need.

This is my prediction. There will be a small ultra-rich class and the masses who won't be able to own anything, and they will instead be forced to rent from companies like BlackRock.
