So much of the rise in price is that the cost of things was built on a very precise model

of like flex, staffing, low inventory, nothing going wrong in our global economy.

That kept the prices cheap.

And what we're paying for right now is the adaptability when things do go wrong, which

maybe should have been built in from the beginning, right?

This is Sarah Stewart Holland and this is Beth Silverce.

Thank you for joining us for Pantsuit Politics.

Hello and welcome to Pantsuit Politics.

We're so glad you're joining us today.

One of the things that we prioritize strongly here is learning new things and that's the

spirit we try to bring to our five things you need to know episodes.

Today we're going to be sharing some things that you should know about inflation, especially

because it's a hot topic of conversation around the world and a practical reality for

our wallets.

So hopefully you'll find today's episode to be illuminating about this topic that everyone

keeps discussing.

Now listen.

We know that lots of you would like to hear us talk about what's happening over at Spotify

with Joe Rogan.

Sarah has started talking about that on Good Morning, our premium offering and we are going

to talk about it together on Friday.

We're going to think about it a little bit though.
