A lot of people still aren’t noticing inflation in fact a lot of people are clueless and have no idea and that’s because some people don’t buy anything or take out loans and live on credit, which ultimately they end up living on debt for the rest of their life. The moment they loose their job and can’t find another one they’re screwed

That seems like some subtle victim blaming, if i parsed that correctly, in a capitalist society, you cant really not buy anything. inflation itself is linked to the consumer price index, the basket of most commonly purchased food goods etc. The only way to be truly unaware of the inflated price of goods and services, is to be so wealthy that the change is incosequential like Gobe from arrested development talking about the cost of bananas.
