    And if people really are as concerned with the economy as they claimed to be, what’s going to happen when prices go even higher?

      “The economy” for most people is “I have BAD vibes right now!” rather than any actual consideration of economics, national or household.

        However, the economy being good is not often actually good for the customer. It’s just a slowing down of things getting worse.

            At least there’s time in-between for things to change.

              The story about frogs staying in a warming pot is not true. It is however exactly how humans react, as they can convince themselves of all sorts of things to avoid change.

              I never said anything about waiting for change to fall into our laps, which seems like what you’re implying. I just said that having time is better than “making the water boil faster.”
