In short. Are situation in Germany really normal. Mean prices of food don't go up, shelves in stores are full, with inflation which is negligible, level of pre corona hoax?

TL;DR

Couple days ago I talk with one friend about situation in world, financial, political, etc. We touch inflation which rises everywhere, then I mention Germany ( watch some YT video where Germany is mentioned ). So, I tell that in Germany like in other European countries inflation rises, prices of food go up, that there is less good in stores, such stuff. Then my friend say that this is all propaganda. His "argument" is some frivolous YT channel where are shown full shelves in stores, with prices which are same as year or two before. I simply can't believe in this. Entire internet talk about prices, lack of food, etc. in entire world. So how this shit can miss some country. I throw TV away many years ago, now only use internet as source of news. Local media are more than corrupted. My friend is almost same. He is not stupid, but in this case, I think that he chose wrong source of information.

Don't get me wrong, it's just curiosity. It's so easy to make fake news, to get picture from fantasy lands and interview payed actors as common people. But maybe I'm wrong.

Naaah, I'm just interested in everyday life of common people. Simple stuff. with all this lies on media and internet you can't be sure what is what.

I'm in Belgium not far from France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. I can drive to either of those countries within a couple hours drive. 15 minutes from France and the rest is 2 hours drive.

So anyway I drive around a bit for car parts so I see how it's going in the neighboring area.

Inflation is high in all the area. There have been missing products at times on the shelves but it was limited to a selection of products. But it was weird because the missing products in one country were in abundance in the next country. It totally seemed manufactured scarcity.

Gas, food, energy and almost everything the price has climbed quite a bit to a lot.

What I see is now is a push for vaccination and masks again. Our national Faucis are back in the media and politicians are back with the virus narrative. It looks like they switch from fear tactics every two or three months when sheep start to not be afraid enough anymore.

Thanks. Well, situation is same in entire world. It's more than obvious that this is manmade "crisis". btw. It's amazing how government experts calculate inflation. All stuff which you use often - daily skyrocket. Gas, energy bills, food, etc. rise price 15 - 30% or more, yet inflation is just couple percent. Honestly, I don't learn this kind of math in school, maybe I'm just uneducated to understand such high level math. Seriously, there is old caricature, where expert explain that prices of locomotives, ocean liners and such everyday goods rise just 0.3%

When everything is shady as fuck the last thing I'll believe are the numbers and statistics put forward by the experts of the government and the mainstream media.

I've got nothing else to trust than my gut feeling. That's how I avoided all their scams.

If the media makes a big fuss about something you can be sure it's unimportant, staged, beneficial for their narrative or all of the above.

If the media don't cover an event, you can be sure it's important.
