I mean, sure, we can say it's corporate greed, but also we've put over a trillion dollars extra into the economy in a short span due to COVID and Build Back Better, while at the same time there were supply shortages for years, plus record low unemployment causing a raising of wages, all without the fed reacting quick enough by increasing interest rates sooner. We've got every textbook condition for an increase in inflation rates.

Yeah, plus everyone knows that inflation is up under Biden, which still feels bad.
I personally 100% think we were on the brink of a recession and Biden dropping a trillion into the economy avoided it.
I mean, that feels like common sense to me. I have less money than I had last year, so my girlfriend and I eat out less, I buy less video games, I buy more chicken and less beef, I buy less alcohol, etc. etc. It's just a reality of inflation.
We avoided the recession, the result is inflation is destroying our wallets, so we have to spend less to still pay our bills.
Yeah, but if Biden has to resign, he has Kamala as backup. If Trump becomes president and resigns due to mental issues, God knows what awful human we'll be stuck with.
Tbh I don't even blame Comey since everyone thought Trump would lose. Better to make it look like he wasn't waiting for her to be president first and have conservatives going bat shit that the FBI is run by Democrats trying to steal the election....I mean they do that now anyways lol, but still.
Yeah, big true.
Yeah, it does make me nervous because it feels like a lot of libertarian ideology around UBI involves getting rid of social security, food stamps, etc. etc. without guaranteeing UBI will cover basic survival.
Oof. This feels pretty dark.
It's wild. Heat pumps are so perfect for a climate like the UK. They should absolutely be encouraging them. Though I guess this is the same country that keeps voting for tories.
That is very true! I'm very salty Trump was able to just do that, but I couldn't get my student loans deleted. :l
