High inflation becomes a 'fact of life' for Americans

Original: Another train wreck in process. "How high inflation became a ‘fact of life’ in the U.S. U.S. consumers are in the midst

US consumers are in the midst of one of the longest streaks of elevated inflation levels on record, and prices that keep climbing are increasingly being treated as a 'fact of life' rather than a temporary shock. Commenters are framing the situation as an ongoing economic disaster, with frustration directed at policymakers for failing to bring prices back under control.

Why now: Americans are angry that elevated inflation has persisted for years and prices remain far above pre-inflation levels.
