But I was told here yesterday that inflation is going down and I should be happy things are the way they are… /s
Inflation is like acceleration. Acceleration going down means you are still speeding up, just at a lower rate. For prices to go down, we need DEFLATION!
I didn’t mention this to you. it must have been some other dipshit.
Inflation has gone down. Doesn’t mean the prices have. In fact they specifically keep going up, because it seems that literally every business has decided the only thing that matters is how much their CEO is worth.
When every industry and consumer goods producer is a monopoly, market competition no longer exists so prices don’t really effect demand. Especially for inelastic goods like gas or food.
So it hasn’t gone down in the sense of the actual purchasing power for the average person. Meaning price inflation.
Think how it would be if inflation were to keep going up.
Keep beating me please massa.
Thats what you get, when one party is economic hardcore neoliberalists and otherwise fascists and the other party is neoliberal reactionaries with some gay rights sprinkled in.
There is no political left in American mainstream politics and they get fucked royally for it. But then again Americans want to get fucked over getting evil socialist things like affordable healthcare
According to Gallup, most Americans do believe healthcare is the government’s responsibility (57% yes to 40% no, remainder unsure/no opinion). Meanwhile paradoxically, 53% prefer private healthcare over government-run vs 43% that would prefer government-run, so what in the actual fuck…
America is an enigma.

Do you have Medicare? Do you realize how shitty it is? If you don’t also buy a private plan to “fill in the gaps” you’re screwed.
Republican party made a lot of effort to gut Medicare as much as possible, and they are quite successful when they want to destroy something that helps other people.
Aggressive price controls work. Profit forfeitures work. Generous universal social programs work. But no, Joe wants to use the defense production act instead to make meds. Neoliberalism is accelerating fascism and autocracy.
Capitalism working as intended, don’t worry guys
Biden is going to lose the election isn’t he?
Fuck.
We have never had a good president, not in my lifetime.
It is way past time to start a new country.
