Phones and cars might cost more but it's OK that young people can no longer afford to buy their own homes and it's OK for young people to have only minimum wage service jobs waiting for them after graduation, along with huge student debts they'll never be able to pay. And it's OK if people can no longer afford healthcare or healthy food, the cost of all these have gone through the roof.

And anyone who's aware what's going on and who has a job, needs to worry every morning whether they'll be out of work the next day and unable to find a job again.

But hey, we can buy cheap smartphones.
