is it just me or is the news full of bullshit articles these days priming us for price rises in pretty much everything? sick of this shit

I'd be happy if it was due to the death of undervalued labour, but this is just straight up greed (the trend, not this article)

I have noticed it too.. it is like propaganda. Why you should not wait and buy that house now, house prices have never been stronger.. now this

Prices rise regardless of whether they're discussed or not. If it makes you feel so uncomfortable then just don't read articles that are obviously about cost-of-living like this one.
