Yep…back to Inflation 🤬
It’s not just you…48% of us are thinking about rising prices all the time.
You’ll need to make $5,200 this year ($433 more a month) to keep up with inflation and keep the same life.
Even you Sweetgreen coastal elites are feeling the ‘Lunchflation’ as Business Insider calls it.
No end in sight as Biden extends student loan payment until August 31, 2022.
To make it worse…there’s no sign of slowing down for the Talent Shortage
The war for talent isn’t equally distributed amongst all countries according to Statista.

Meanwhile housing, healthcare, and education has all skyrocketed.
We need to reevaluate full time employment as the default. Just like physical mail still works but isn’t the default, physical office work will always work but isn’t the solution for a sustainable global economy.
So what’s the solution for inflation, the talent shortage, and rebuilding the middle class?
