@BowsacNoodle @Diogenese_Shiplap this is what I've talked about for a while, when companies and consumers start expecting insanity, they don't look to optimize within the environment they are currently in but look to insulate against what they fear might come.

This then in turn increases the chaos, as then people see things like fast food prices jumping out of line with CPI and then feel even more helpless and then look to insulate against *that*
