My spending on groceries has almost doubled. I went from being ok to barely making it. It's great.

‘We got it back to the same as it ever was. Why are you upset?’. smh

Economy isn't everything. People need more like believing in the future, a sense of community, etc. A lot of things incompatible with neoliberalism that the dems embraced in the 80s.

This push them in the arms of the extrem right. Don't take me wrong. Extrem right isn't better, it's worse. But they are the last untried thing and extrem right as a rhetoric that hide the reality.

The dems have to change in deep to address the real issues like inequality, housing, belonging to a group, etc. It's placing the human in the center.

It's at least a start, that he's asking questions to try and figure it out, isn't it?

I don't know, Joe, maybe it's just that the world we've made here just fundamentally isn't worth participating in? or even living in, for that matter. #beammeupscotty

“$1 in 2018 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $1.22 today, an increase of $0.22 over 6 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.38% per year between 2018 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 22.10%.”- in2013dollars.com

Most of us didn’t get 22% raises over the pandemic and rent, electricity, and grocery prices went up, Joe

The Economy is doing well...for the rich.

It's not doing well for everyone else, you old baffoon.

So why do i know so many people that don't have enough? I didn't used to

Disinflation is different than deflation. Prices aren’t changing, that’s good. Prices changed to be bad and aren’t changing, that’s bad.

Now, while I don’t think we want deflation amok, because that’s insanely bad for everyone, what I think we can all agree with is wages need to go up or there needs to be some price control the likes this country hasn’t seen before.

That’s the problem with the economy. This new normal isn’t comfortable. While we’re finally solidifying what this new normally is and volatility is going down, what we’re settling on isn’t good. And pretending that eventually wages will come to match, that’s not realistic. Playing the waiting game is going to wreck a lot of jobs.

Shit like this is why Trump is going to win. Enjoy the peace while it lasts

President feigns ignorance of basic domestic economics to appear sympathetic going into an election cycle

The US economy is doing well for rich people.

FTFY

What a senile old pos classist fuckface.

Because we've had about 90 years of decline in the power of labor, and everyone knows they're being exploited all the time and there's no way to get ahead if you don't already have money.

"Your corporate masters are happy, why aren't you slaves smiling?"

Well, I don't know. What a mystery!?

Some companies raised prices and made greedy money. And those companies don't want to lower the prices back.

Shameful.
