Fair enough, you could say the prices are “inflated”. There’s a big difference though between inflation as the devaluation of currency that’s been slowly happening “forever” and inflation in the sense of a guy selling shit simply racking up his prices and putting the surplus in his greedy little pockets. Of course you can choose to use the exact same word for both cases if you wish

The inflation is real.

109 USD in August 2024 is equivalent in buying power to $115.31 today. $33 from September 2025, adjusted for inflation, would be about $33.84 today.

This has absolutely nothing to do with inflation

That makes sense. Good to know I probably haven’t been doing anything illegal by carrying a swiss army knife in the S Bahn

I live in central europe but still would never think twice about leaving the house or entering a tram with a knife in my backpack. I think I actually do still have a swiss army knife in there somewhere that I’ve been carrying literally anywhere I go for the last couple years.

To me it’s a little strange to compare knives, which are primarily tools, to firearms that are from start to finish designed for the sole purpose of killing and injuring living things. My life would be worse without knives, I use them every single day. But I’ve never required a gun for anything

Yeah but I’m pretty sure I can also just put a knife in my pocket and leave my house without doing anything illegal in the process, so I’m wondering why there needs to be an exemption.

Edit: Also pretty sure everyone is forbidden from using knives offensively not just Sikhs

Digwa stabbed Nowak with a ‌knife he said he was permitted to carry due to exemptions for Sikhs ‌to have ceremonial daggers.

I don’t understand this, isn’t anyone “permitted” to carry a knife wherever they want to in public? Why do they call it an exemption

Edit: Since I’m guessing the answer is “not in the UK” my follow up question would be how do people buy knives there? Do they have to dodge the cops on their way home from the store?

If women’s boxers worked like the pricing in the photo it’d be 5 women’s for $20 and 1 men’s for $4

Yes you’re right, I agree with you that the conditions are very different because of the reasons you mentioned and the other financial factors like food and rent are probably different too. I admit my original comment comes of very ignorant rereading it now a couple hours later, sorry about that

A Gallon is 4 Liters right? I just checked the current Diesel price in my country and it’s at 9.80USD/Gallon. I hate to agree with the Donald here, but those prices are actually peanuts.
