Everyone's talking about deflation, but everything feels expensive to me right now. A casual grocery run with a few bags easily costs two or three hundred. A decent takeout meal starts at forty or fifty. The barber downstairs went from five or ten yuan to thirty, and that's the friend price. I don't know if CPI data is up or down, but my bank balance is definitely deflating at a visible rate. The only thing that hasn't gone up is my crypto position.
