    Luanda, Angola is what will happen when global supply chains collapse. KFC cannot be had for less than 20 US dollars. A pint of Haagen-Dazs costs 17 US dollars. This is what will become of imported consumer goods once global supply chains collapse.

    Consider that in the USA even poor people drive cars. Do you think that poor people in all countries can afford to drive cars? In many places, a Toyota Camry is considered a luxury item.

      Oh, looks like the collapse is already here in Australia then. KFC is expensive as fuck over here.

        20 US dollars is quite a bit more when you view it from the perspective of an Angolan salary, rather than a western salary. But I do reckon we are in the early stages of a global supply chain collapse.

          Yeah, I was mostly joking, but inflation has increased a lot lately, people can afford less and less these days, rent's going up, bills are going up, cost of living is going up. I've been used to not being able to afford much my entire adult life, but quite a few of my friends are finding out that "living within their means" has quite a bit less spending than it did a few years ago.
