Corneal Edema Symptoms

OBESITY INCREASES PRICES: What can the consumer?

Every day, they appear in the daily increases in prices of different items: meat, fish, schools, rentals, etc.
The question always the same: Why increase it? And what can the consumer against increases?


Before trying to answer is to clarify some things :

- prices our market are free, except those agreed as fuel, some cuts of meat and a certain amount of products (some foods, certain products school basket and various medications, etc.). Products out of the agreement were large increases.
- The consumer protection law does not regulate the price increase .
- The rents are also free. But once the contract was made can not change the agreed conditions.
- Recent increases in prepaid and colleges were agreed with the provincial and national levels.
- The government brought out the Supply Act 1974 with which you can "punish" with closures, fines and jail those who do not meet the thresholds, in the case of imposing them. It is very controversial and not performed well in the past.
- prices of public services are the only regulated.

Why increases things: Some of the responses:

- Increased
costs - increased seasonal demand (tourism, fish for Easter, etc)
- There is little to offer because it all goes Export


What can the consumer?

The usual advice:

-
stop buying increasing :
must make a cultural change
. Until now the public no longer consume a product is increased. Example: If you can afford, you eat meat. At best, they choose less expensive cuts.
The change must be society as a whole : you can and can not afford to be thinking about how to replace fish for Easter when the clouds increases without justification. (For now, culturally, we are far from this possibility)
On the other hand, there are things we simply can not: rentals.
As for prepaid, as they grow fewer citizens can access it: So change of plan, then companies, and as the crisis becomes public system.


- Search price:
Not everyone has the time to go shopping at Central Market. Furthermore, those who live far away need a car and able to take the merchandise.
Central Market is not an option for a person inside the country. Who have a car is more likely to choose, but this option does not work for the most humble.

can be reported :

"The increases in any contract that provides for increases, such as bank interest, etc.
-shelf products that say a price and on the box say next.
-Products are offered on an ad with a price and then trade with another, or say they ran out of stock. The state will check what the real stock.
-Increases in the schools that are created unjustified (especially where they are subsidized).
-The expenses were not informed at the time of purchase.
-interests were not informed in recruitment.
-social and pre-paid works that do not meet the Mandatory Health Plan.
-Merchants round the back in their favor.
-products that do not meet hygiene and safety.
-price agreements, although voluntary, were signed to accomplish. Where
