It is really happening. The price of basic goods is rising and the cost of getting from place to place is going up—think of the price of a litre of gas—as is the cost of housing, food, medications and other basic necessities.
Le prix des denrées de base augmente, il en coûte toujours plus cher pour se déplacer — pensons au prix du litre d'essence —, se loger, se nourrir, se soigner, juste pour vivre.
