For Kristal, gas prices have risen by about a third in less than a month.

I actually haven't been driving as much, because I almost feel like it's cheaper for me to stay at home.

She says the data shows that U.S. workers have gotten a raise pretty much across the board, but in real terms, a lot of people have actually seen a decrease in pay or, at best, they've gotten a very tiny raise.

Workers are not experiencing some humongous jump in their real wages by any stretch of the imagination.

For her part, Kristal is pretty done with all the volatility and the money illusions of gig work.

So what can be done to curb inflation?

We can't go grocery shopping without having a list, and we can't venture far from that list.

You're asking literally the least informed person, ever.

I mean, probably for a good reason, most people do not spend as much time as we do thinking about the relationship between interest rates and inflation. And as it turns out, 4 out of 5 Americans don't necessarily know the connection between the two.
