There will be consequences. Who knows how long it will take. Seems like we're getting close to that breaking point. There always used to be that fine line were they took just enough so people can survive. Now they are all just extra greedy and took too it all. Tons of people have now used their savings, safety nets, and maxed out credit cards to survive. There's already more people than ever going homeless and defaulting on loans and credit cards. It won't be long before an even higher percentage of people have no more options and get desperate. These price increases are just one of the direct causes for failing to survive. I say there's only a few more years until something big happens.

Just my opinion. I am one of the people effected by price increases and I feel like I make a decent living. I can't imagine how people who make even less do it...
