Inflation is a nightmare for any stable economy. But when you have selfish leaders, inflation control takes a back seat. Transparency is just a facade, they regularly publish info but it’s usually curated.

I doubt you really only bought rice as a kid. Did you have a farm? I think your family bought more than you realize. Anyway, fewer people are farming due to land issues.

Change is inevitable, we’ve gotta adapt. Prices today are not like when we were kids. Hoping things will revert to the past is just sad. Waiting around doesn’t help anyone.

Not declining at all! A small price drop doesn't justify the panic. Look back over ten years and you’ll see Bitcoin's huge growth.

Relying heavily on foreign loans and aid is suicidal. Any gov that’s cool with that should just ask to be governed outright by the benefactor. Aid can help when needed, but dependency is a slippery slope.

I’m skeptical about those numbers too. The estimates seem off. How can you claim 88% ownership in South Africa? Sounds more like wishful thinking.

True, many would love to have the newest tech out there, but that doesn’t make them materialistic. There’s a fine line between wanting to live well and being crushed by the pressure to have everything.

Building relationships isn’t easy, especially when you’re not wealthy. Many just focus on gaining experience and qualifications instead.

Iran is using this strait as use. They know how key it is for global trade. Words mean little when you look at their actions.

We can’t do everything alone; we rely on each other for goods and services. Agriculture can boost local economies, but it takes a lot of capital and effort.
