Everyone is still pissed about inflation, and her answer to what she would do better was ‘nothing’.

Everything else is just noise around the edges.

Because people pissed at inflation are fucking stupid. Inflation is down. They aren’t pissed at greedy corporations, which have been the problem the entire fucking time.

You know you’ve heard people say inflation hasn’t stopped because prices are still high. Like they’re going to magically get better prices when inflation stops.

Yeah it’s stupid, welcome to America.

They think it’ll be like gas prices. They go up, but the “right guy” will make them come back down, ignoring the fact that that only happens with commodities like oil. Once a company raises prices, they rarely bring them back down. Tha6s called deflation, and it’s not good.

Well, we kind of need deflation to happen because the alternative is rising wages and that’s not fucking happening.

Deflation just means everyone is already starving. Deflation isn’t the start of a process, it’s the result of massive failure. Just like inflation doesn’t happen the second money is printed, it has to circulate before price inflation is a thing.

What we need are labor groups, and taxes on companies who use government benefits as part of their wage calculation.

In short, never try to make prices go down, instead make wages go up, and make competition control prices.
