I remember, knowing that they were lying to my face
Just think how Bidens polling would be if he did something about it instead of ignoring it until the major hikes were over
They’re not over
But you’re right
I don't think this is what they meant by "the new normal".
No I don't
This is just capitalism working as intended. The fact that these price increases are being sold as some kind of abnormality is some real neolib brain in action. It isn't "greedflation," it's literally the same capitalism we've lived with for centuries.
It was on a bit of a speed run for a while there. Things don't normally jump $1-4 in a single leap.
So now what. Will they have to reduce them again? Haha jk jk. Fuck us.
Yeah I knew we were screwed when places like Walmart were still "complaining" about covid supply chain shortages well into 2023, despite the fact that some local farmers were selling eggs so cheap that people where trying to figure out what the "catch" was.

I think the Australian consumer protection agency released a report saying similar a few months ago already. They basically said the high inflation rate was a result of price gouging and corporate greed.
Sue all of the corporations and distribute the I’ll-gotten gains back to us in a surplus check.
And they are going to take action to get that money back for citizens, right?
