Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the serfs.
Of course that's once it actually gets to the point where people genuinely not just can't afford but won't afford.

Plus as @chrisV mentions earlier the cost of containers - I spoke to a small importer the other day, who brings in nice LP cases - The cost now of shipping an empty case is around £30 - As he says that is £30 to ship fresh air - You still need to add the cost of goods + his profit just to get to a cost price - I've heard figures along the lines of a container was around £2K to hire for a delivery from say China - Now costs around 10K
