Goku reports on the surprising deflation in some sectors of the US economy, from gasoline to gadgets, but warns these price dips might be as fleeting as a Senzu Bean's effect.

What's This 'Deflation' Thing?

Hey everyone it's Goku! I heard about this weird thing called 'deflation' happening with prices. It's like... the opposite of when Vegeta's ego inflates! Some smart guys are saying things are getting cheaper – like airfare veggies and even those shiny gadgets Bulma loves. They say it's about supply and demand kind of like how I always demand a good fight! But this Ryan Sweet guy from Oxford Economics says tariffs could mess things up kinda like when Frieza messed up Planet Vegeta!

Gas Prices? More Like Gas Savings!

So apparently gasoline is getting cheaper! President Trump said it was super cheap but it's still more than 3 bucks a gallon according to the US. Energy Information Administration. Still they're down almost 10% from last year. That's like getting a Senzu Bean for free! They say oil prices are falling. Makes me wonder if I should invest… but Piccolo would probably tell me to focus on training. Less demand is making oil go down in prices. Seems like that OPEC+ group is making more which is making the price drop even more. But Zandi says prices will rise if they go down anymore.

Flying High… on Lower Fares!

Even flying is becoming a better deal! Airline tickets are down more than 5% from last year thanks to cheaper jet fuel. It's like getting a free ride on the Nimbus! But apparently fewer tourists are visiting the U.S. because of some trade war thing and people scared of getting detained. Sounds complicated. Maybe I should just Instant Transmission everyone around the world and tell them it's all good! Less people coming makes prices drop though.

Veggies Getting Cheaper? Time for Some Saiyan Sustenance!

This is good news – veggies are getting cheaper! Tomatoes lettuce potatoes... all dropping in price! That means I can eat even MORE! They say it's because of cheaper transportation and more crops growing. But there's some stuff about tariffs on Mexican tomatoes coming up soon. Like when Beerus eats all the pudding! Rubin says the quality of lettuce is high which means delicious salads!

Gadgets on Discount? Bulma's Gonna Go Super Saiyan!

Now THIS is something Bulma would be excited about! TVs and smartphones are getting cheaper. They said flat screens are a lot cheaper than 5 years ago. That's because companies are making them better and faster. Basically you're getting more for your money. It's like when I power up to Super Saiyan and get stronger! Apparently some other household goods and clothes are cheaper too but they can't really figure out why.

Enjoy it While it Lasts!

Zandi said that you should enjoy the lower prices because they aren't going to last long. He said the prices are going to change in a few weeks or months! So make sure you take advantage of the lower prices while they are here!
