Summary

Inflation in the U.S. rose 3% in January, with rent alone accounting for 30% of the increase.

Egg prices soared due to avian flu, worsening grocery costs.

Despite pledging to lower prices, Trump blamed inflation on Biden and foreign countries while avoiding specifics on his plan.

In a Fox News interview, he dodged questions about when prices would drop, instead citing trade deficits. The White House press secretary confirmed that the administration has no clear timeline for addressing the rising cost of living.

    Then the Republicans are going to propose building public transportation to ignore that problem.

      Reliable, ubiquitous, affordable public transportation is an impediment to segregation via gentrification and suburbs. So Republicans won’t promote that.

      This is america.

      We are going to build hellhole dormitories for workers to live on site at the kroger LONG before we acknowledge that investing in public transportation would have benefits.

      Oh, and we’ll probably buy a shit ton of teslas so that every county is required to have a fleet for “special” employees.

      Hah! That’s a good one. Public transportation is SOCIALISM remember? And it would help poor and/or brown people so they’d never seriously do that.
