They keep raising prices, stating that it’s due to inflation, but then they keep having record profits.

Meanwhile, the average American can barely afford rent or food nowadays.

What are we to do? Vote? I have been but that doesn’t seem to do much since I’m just voting for a representative that makes the actual decisions.

      My dude, we had covid prices and insane global shortages under Trump.

      Not that the huge supply chains were his fault, but my 4 year old GPU appreciated 300% during that period.

      That’s a fucking stupid thing to say (or even think).

          Yeah… I actually did that immediately after I commented that and then just blocked them since I knew there was zero chance of rational discussion.

      What?? The inflation problems literally STARTED under Trump. He’s not to blame for the covid supply chain issues, sure, but “didn’t have this problem under Trump” is an easily fact checked lie.

        Bullcrap. Nice revisionist history. Inflation was non-existent under Trump. This is all on Biden and his doing everything his feeble mind is able to tank the economy.

        No one loses because of the ranting of fools. I take the down votes here for what they are, the desperate clinging of a false narrative by people that refuse to see reality and instead of thinking for themselves rely on others to do it for them.

      Didn’t have this problem under Trump.

      That depends very much on your exact position under him… and what exactly you were doing there under him.

      It’s always in the term after mismanagement that the effects are felt, eg. in the UK how the tories are raising funding sky high for everything, then will inevitably blame Labour for both underspending and making cuts when they get in later this year

      Reason 3674 why representative democracy absolutely sucks

      And maybe if he’d done a better job with COVID we’d still not have this problem

        Maybe if Fauci hadn’t lied from the get go Covid wouldn’t have been a problem either.
