There are a few ways to spot
<a style="color: #d62829; text-decoration: none; -webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829;">
inflation
</a>
, including:
</p>
<ul style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 12px; margin: 0;">
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>
Classic inflation:
</strong>
when the price of stuff goes up (e.g., when your favorite item moves off the dollar menu)
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>
Shrinkflation:
</strong>
when the price of stuff stays the same, but the amount you get goes down (e.g., the ever-growing amount of air in a bag of potato chips)
</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
It’s time to add another to the list.

’s Greg Rosalsky, “skimpflation” is when, “instead of simply raising prices, companies skimp on the goods and services they provide."

In many cases, the skimping isn’t deliberate -- some businesses are facing a perfect storm of challenges right now, including:

<ul style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 12px; margin: 0;">

<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
Supply chain issues increasing the costs of goods
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
Labor shortages leaving businesses short-staffed

</ul>

Shifting services from human to digital can lead to skimping as well

In his newsletter,

Kneeling Bus

, Drew Austin
<a style="color: #d62829; text-decoration: none; -webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829;">
described
</a>
a recent trip to CVS, where he noticed the following cycle:
</p>
<ol style="font-size: 16px;">
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
Most items are locked in cases to avoid theft
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
The rise of self-checkout means fewer employees work at a time
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
Finding someone to unlock the case can make the trip take 3x as long
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Austin sees one road that this all leads to: Amazon Prime.

“Big Tech” is most commonly understood to include Apple, Amazon, Alphabet (Google’s parent), Microsoft, and Meta (or the artist formerly known as Facebook).

<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Regulators across the world are trying to rein in Big Tech’s power. But in the near term, supply chain crunches have stopped them in their tracks:

</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
For what it’s worth, Apple’s services business and Amazon’s cloud operation are both exhibiting strong growth, and supply chain issues should resolve next year.
