    Only 2/3rds? What’s wrong with the 1/3rd? Either super wealthy or dumb as hell I guess.

      1/3 of the population is made up of shit-eating goblins who think Roman gladiatorial combat was too woke.

        If you can’t tell this is a joke go get diagnosed for autism. I am autistic I can make these jokes!

    Honestly, back in 2022 it was the one thing that absolutely enraged me: Yellen and Biden both were pretending that the very high inflation was just a temporary effect and was going to vanish quickly.

    It would have been the time to call attention to the reckless spending of the Trump administration, and the direct link to high inflation a year and two years later.

    Instead, they denied the problem existed, and thus inherited it.

      Nk, Biden said the inflation rate was stabilized, which was true. He got tje rate down to where it was before Covid. Anyone who was expecting prices to come back down was fooling themselves. Nobody ever said prices would regress.

        I mean, it was, by the time Trump took office the inflation numbers were almost back to normal. They’re jumping up again because we elected someone who doesn’t care about America.

        The issue is that people kept believing that inflation going down would mean prices would go down, but that’s not how any of this works.
