Does anyone get a weird feeling like the world is a simulation with the economy and prices now?

I feel like this is something that should be talked about.<br><br>Does the economy really work this way? Why are prices so high, especially for food? It's even harder for my friends who are low income or single moms. <br><br>I know the prices of everything such as food and gas are higher, but does anyone feel like they don't know what the fuck is happening?
