Summary

Trump admitted it will be difficult to lower consumer prices, despite campaign promises to reduce grocery, energy, and overall inflation costs.

Trump told Time that achieving price reductions is rare without major economic downturns.

During the campaign, Trump blamed rising costs on Democratic leadership and proposed tariffs as a solution, but economists warn tariffs could raise prices further.

Inflation, a key voter concern, played a significant role in Trump’s election victory, though he has yet to outline a clear plan to deliver on his economic pledges.

    Have you seen the absolute ruins of our public education system, defunded over and over to cut sociopath’s taxes?

    This isnt just “these people are awful” these people were made by unchained capitalists.

    They act like tribal animals fearing and hating the other because educating someone is the same as civilizing someone.

    We don’t do that here for most. Our public ed has become little more than laborer daycare.

    We can barely even manage it being laborer daycare, since our defunded public schools can’t pay shit, choosing to become a teacher in public ed is choosing a life of scraping by, of being punished for trying to help society for a living.

    Meanwhile, the complainers are given charter escape hatches that the owners profit off of despite claiming charters are “non-profit” through for profit, publicly traded charter management corporations, and even charters tend to have a conservative “helping society bad” bias in their curriculum.

    Then the owner’s children are educated, at private schools, where they are taught that owners don’t empathize or concern themselves with the plight of the livestock.

    Never wonder why the citizens of prosocial nation’s impression of average Americans is that we are complete ignoramuses. It’s not accident. It’s intended. A bone dead stupid laborer is a compliant, easily manipulated laborer.
