when you go to complain that your lifestyle has arbitrarily risen in price 30% the little eichmans of the internet will dogpile you saying its a 'skill issue' you didnt sign up for all the apps, reward programs and coupons. that your lifestyle is actually bad and you should change it to save money. that you're a unhinged conspiracy theorist for thinking the "debunked" price flexibility programs are there to rip you off
