Insane inflation caused mostly by the profiteering of companies like Walmart causing people to starve and Walmart to profit like never before and even increase their market share!
Do Walmart do the only humane and honorable thing and share their windfall with the people who made it possible and who need it more than ever? FUCK NO! They steal wages from the already desperately poor and add them to their fucking useless treasure hoard! 🤬
Well a rich person always needs "a little more" that they can squeeze out of poor people.
Printing money for "stimulus" didn't help either. Neither did the corporate bailouts.
Stimulus money helped many Americans survive another week or month?
Printing money causes inflation.
You know what, I was going to write a real time consuming response but I am glad I thought to skim your profile first. You seem okay and all but you pretty clearly have a very strong disagreement with everything covid related, by that I mean the only time you seem to get at all heated, stubborn, outspoken etc is when the subject has to do with government handling of covid. So just, what's the point? We are on different planets.
I'm against fascism. That includes the insurrectionists, Trump and his cult, and "Rules for thee but not for me."
Sure. Like I said you seem like a reasonable person.
But covid lockdowns is clearly a subject you don't have reasonable conversations about. So you know, enjoy the rest of your weekend.
