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.

    People started complaining about inflation when Trump was still president, after people started hoarding toilet paper, then at a larger scale after the first stimulus cheques. I’m not blaming him personally for that specifically, COVID was hard for all countries on Earth, but facts are facts.

      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.
