There are indications that there are many odd parts in the recent three to four years (2019 to 2025) of abnormal price increases in daily necessities and the like in advanced countries such as America. A person who regularly checks the prices of items that need to be procured from America says that it’s not that they spiked all at once, but that they’ve stayed abnormally high over these few years, and that this is the Mandela Effect. For example, a certain item that should have been about 1,000 dollars per lot when they checked in 2022 (a price remembered by the then procurement officer and the accounting clerk, as well as multiple others) shows in the data that by 2021 it had supposedly risen to about 1,500 dollars per lot, and according to the electronic receipt records, in the 2022 transaction it turns out to have been 2,500 dollars per lot, and if that item had been priced per lot at such an amount, there is no way approval for settlement would be granted with immediate effect, but right now the American side is saying 3,000 dollars per lot, and both the procurement officer and the accounting clerk are stunned. In other words, if that item had suddenly jumped to 3,000 dollars, it wouldn’t be a mysterious phenomenon or anything, but the problem is that in the 2022 transaction the electronic receipt shows settlement was granted at 2,500 dollars, and it seems the accounting director, who supposedly approved the settlement at the time, came accompanied by an executive to consult on how to respond to the phenomenon. As you might expect, this is a matter for disciplinary consideration for the accounting director, so even in a workplace that’s understanding of the Mandela Effect, they are carefully cross-checking to see whether any actual damages have occurred. If it were a rapid surge over a few months or something, it wouldn’t be particularly mysterious, but the fact is that for the past few years the prices have supposedly remained abnormally high, and the…
