as i alluded to here https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=82747482&f=119&p=614499351 the current administration is hell-bent on blaming ‘russia’ and ‘record job growth’ on these inflation levels which havent been seen for 4+ decades (like around when biden started working in the fed govt, and he still is). job growth is strictly related to reopening 1-2+ year closed jobs/businesses due to federal and state mandate. the current admin also said for most of 2021 inflation was transitory anyway. they just didnt define what period of transitory it was (years, not a few weeks)

pre-covid, nov/dec 2019 and jan 2020 we had record actual job numbers, near full-employment, and regular ~2% inflation

U.S. inflation rate for 2019 was 1.81%, a 0.63% decline from 2018

"smart government"

there is your problem good sir and you should have noticed by now that at least some of them are not doing anything on purpose

george gammon said it really well, the global elite couldnt fulfill their goals in other ways, now they just price people out of the energy and food markets

A lot of young people are seeing no point in having a savings at this point because they'll never be able to buy anything. Its terrible. All you young people are being groomed to be rent cattle for the 1% because it is better for them that way.

Free market fundamentalism, deregulation, Citizens United, all taking us here.

You guys are just complaining because you are losers. Capitalism has built in winners and losers. Put Elon Musk in your ava and just feel like you're apart of something lol.

100% forgivable PPP loans were a warm welcome to many wannabe blowhard failed business owners and fraudsters. My wife's boss took $520,000k from the pot, all forgiven, meanwhile she still has student loan debt from a decade ago dogging her. What's worse is the EGO the business owners have with exclaiming how they've had it the hardest... guy is about to build a new house at peak housing market on fresh plot in the city.

PPP loan forgiveness without student loan forgiveness is literally class warfare.
