Hidden Inflation - 100 Shrinking Products

100 Shrinking Product Sizes and Rising Prices

I took this pic when Tims centralized production for par-baking.

I don’t plan on publishing much more. I may from time to time, but I've shared 70 timely, cutting-edge articles that dive into the truth of what's happening today and explore the future of society, tech, economy, health, industry, and humanity in this current shift of consciousness…

I stated in the About Me section that I am not from this timeline - it’s true. I’m not selling anything here. I advise making use of the information, because you won’t find most of it anywhere else.

On with something more grounded - Hidden inflation caught my interest today and fits another post about taxing the $ more than a $, further enslaving humanity.

Governments hide inflation by focusing on core inflation (which excludes food and energy), using substitution bias (assumes people switch to cheaper items), and revising inflation data to downplay price increases. Companies use shrinkflation (reduce size/quantity but keep same price), packaging changes to look bigger, and price anchoring (introduce higher-priced versions to make others seem cheaper) to hide price hikes. Economies adjust GDP figures, manipulate exchange rates and apply subsidies/price controls to mask rising costs. Lower interest rates and selective pricing reports downplay inflation, too.
