These issues cannot be solved unless the government starts focusing on these things, but most of the time, governments of countries that are suffering from such economies don't care because they are filling their pockets from tax money and they will retire once they are not in power and will go to a foreign country to spend the rest of their lives in luxury along with their families while people of the country are left to suffer.
Even the countries with huge GDPs are also having their own problems when it comes to commodity prices. It's the little ones that are very much affected as gas/oil prices are the first we need every day. Food as the most important will be sacrificed this time by the parents, as I have read in some news are skipping meals already.
So many company layoffs these days that I see closed shops on every corner of the city. The stalls in the mall where I usually go to buy tacos and hotdogs are gone.
We are already in recession but the media are just not telling it on TV.
