Oddly enough, the vacuum cleaner is the one which was intentionally made to inflate. (the waste bag inside of it…)
ReplyThat new car guy should’ve spent $20 on a decent haircut.
ReplyDemocrats: shuts down America’s energy independence, pushes “build back better, open borders for illegals, pushes for universal basic income, then gaslights the American public by saying: “it’s not our fault!”
ReplyWhat is the point of an economic system where too many people being too well employed and having too much money ruins everything?
ReplyI like how he proposed to counter inflation by moving your cash into scarce assetts by buying all the giant frog statues.
ReplyPeople blaming the president are close, but need to broaden their aim. It’s the entire Federal government.
ReplyThanks John for not focusing harder on companies, specifically oil companies, who are price gouging us.
ReplyI feel like nobody takes into account that in the last decade, minimum wage in the US has essentially doubled. Most of the country has went from ~8$ to 15$ minimum wage. If you look at the products that have increased in price the most, magnified by the pandemic, that is easily the biggest cause of the inflation. It also means nobody is truly worse off except the large companies paying wages, it just feels bad to the minimum wage workers, who don’t appreciate paying more – but they can because they make 15$ an hour.
ReplyWrong. There is only one cause for inflation, and that’s the government. That’s it, nobody can cause inflation but the government.
Reply10 months? Okay, respectfully, there is NO WAY you were properly prepared for retirement if 10-15% inflation turned a 20 year savings into 10 months.
ReplyImagine if the government had never bailed out any industry. There’d be no problem because out money would be worth a fuckload more.
ReplyJohn really showing his neolib colors. People dont have more money to buy stuff, tf is he on about? Pizza doesnt cost 20% more because more people are buying them, at the same time as we are cooking at home more.
Replydid the stimulus save the economy or just postpone the crisis
