They keep raising prices, stating that it’s due to inflation, but then they keep having record profits.

Meanwhile, the average American can barely afford rent or food nowadays.

What are we to do? Vote? I have been but that doesn’t seem to do much since I’m just voting for a representative that makes the actual decisions.

      My dude, we had covid prices and insane global shortages under Trump.

      Not that the huge supply chains were his fault, but my 4 year old GPU appreciated 300% during that period.

        Bullcrap. Nice revisionist history. Inflation was non-existent under Trump. This is all on Biden and his doing everything his feeble mind is able to tank the economy.

          It was non-existent at the end of Obama’s last turn.

          But it definitely is back once Trump started.

          Don’t let statistics hit you on your way out.

        No one loses because of the ranting of fools. I take the down votes here for what they are, the desperate clinging of a false narrative by people that refuse to see reality and instead of thinking for themselves rely on others to do it for them.

      What?? The inflation problems literally STARTED under Trump. He’s not to blame for the covid supply chain issues, sure, but “didn’t have this problem under Trump” is an easily fact checked lie.
