    She can fuck all the way off. It doesn’t matter if inflation slows. It was bad enough to fuck over half our population. They can’t just say, “we are going to fuck you slightly less.”

    They really need to fix their messaging and how the media talks about inflation.

    Inflation isn’t low, it’s very high. The inflation RATE is back down to reasonable levels, but you can’t ever get rid of inflation without some policies that have very very very low support.

      Can you give an example of what you mean, here? What comes to mind are price of common goods such as eggs or gas which have indeed come down.

    We did it, everyone!! The negative effects and burden of a difficult economy was successfully borne by the lower middle class and middle class, while the wealthy generally walked away wealthier, thereby encouraging further wealth inequality despite difficult economic conditions!

    Whew, that was close! We really had to thread the needle there. It even started mildly affecting the top 10% for a second!

    Why, a wealthy man I work for (I wipe and powder his ass for him every time he takes a shit. It’s minimum wage, but it’s a job!) said he considered not buying a fifth property for a few months. Imagine how terrible that would have been for the economy!
