Thats what im saying. Inflation is not what happens when people price gouge, but it provides a convenient way to hide a little gouging here and there when prices have to be adjusted for inflation anyway
That's... Not what inflation is.
You have been watching half-arsed videos on YouTube by people who never really learned a single thing about economy, haven't you?
Inflation is the devaluation of money which happens because the pool of money constantly grows (super oversimplified here), which it has to because otherwise, we'd face a deflation because the money pool would constantly shrink due to savings and such. Deflations can wreak havoc with economies and cause great misery all around. The "great depression" was a deflation. Look up how that turned out. That's what the constant inflation rates of around 3% are meant to prevent.
There is no cabal of businessmen deciding to raise prices and seoress wages and then selling that as "inflation".
"uncovered a patent" sounds like there was investigatios and a hidden thing Roku did behind everyone's back, not wanting anyone to know what they're up to. Patents are public. That's their purpose. They tell others what they cannot do because someone else was first. So they didn't "uncover" shit. They read it in the publicly accessible catalogue from the patents office.
That's to "uncovering" what respect towards customers is to Roku: fuck all
Dont be too hard on them. They are convinced that buying 12 2/4 melons in a train that started in new York at 8:15 going west and dividing 45 apples in another train that started at 10:45 in San Francisco going North are completely normal activities.
From the inside looking in, it's incredibly stupid as well. I should write the minister-president (Yeah, I translated that one literally, deal with it) a letter, expecting a personal reply. Since apparently he's bored and has got nothing fucking better to do than this bullshit!
No it hasn't. It has just pushed them out of sight for English natives.
