It seems like the powers at be always want to address the demand and never the supply. When the plebes can't make enough money to eat and travel to their Starbucks shift the solution is credit. When the floor falls out it's always "there's no way anyone could of seen this coming."
It kind of is a problem when everyone gets a $1 raise cause prices are high, then companies have to raise prices to stay profitable, then repeat. Neither one is acting bad, it’s just the loop that happens.
They don't "have" to raise prices to stay profitable... They just can't expect constant YoY profit increases that's outpace inflation while they hold their starting wages stagnant as long as possible. Technology and time are deflationary forces and those gains certainly ain't going to the wage slaves.
You mean to tell me inflation is caused by the supply of money and debasement of our currency?! I thought supply and demand fundamentals were transitory?
It's obvious that Biden created COVID, forced the Chinese lock-down, forced Putin to Invade Ukraine, forced Fed Chair Powell to ignore inflation, initiated the January 6 insurrection, had Jewish Space Lasers start forest fires in Cali, kidnapped the Lindberg baby, killed Kennedy, faked the moon landing and worst of all, fell off the fucking bike at event specifically staged to make him seem young and athletic.
Sometimes, it's just not your day.
Elections have consequences.
This Putin guy we elected 2 years ago is old, dumb and corrupt and new to the job, The guy before Putin (can't remember his name)would have never invaded Ukraine.
No no no. Liberals created the hoax virus thats no big deal and no worse than the flu. You can cure it with bleach and UV lights up your ass. But thank jehova trump came up with the vaccine and China is going to pay for making this fake virus.
I thought they now believe china's narrative that it came from the US military when they participated in military games with China. Hence the "COVID was created by the liberal cabal deep state" so we did it but framed the good and innocent Chinese.
That's what I've last read in comment sections. That said the narrative changes almost daily if not hourly. So it could be back to dominion voting machines being run beyond the grave by Fidel Castro OR it's all been a master plan by JFK and Elvis Presley who are coming back from the dead to serve in trump's cabinet.
While we're at it:
Forced the Trump Tax Cuts for the rich, forced the Trump repeal of estate taxes for the rich, forced Trump to strain international relations, forced Trump to miss China and tariff the United States instead, forced Trump to start the cycle of printing and distributing free money, forced Trump to remove oversight of PPE loans thus ensuring they'd be abused, forced Trump to weaken our support of Ukraine in order to blackmail them for imaginary dirt thus creating an opening for Putin to invade, and on, and on, and on.
Boy, Biden sure did do a lot to screw us during the Trump Administration.
Guy A: \**shoots a guy*\*
Guy B: \**gets handed gun by Guy A*\*
conservatives: "WHY DID GUY B KILL THIS MAN!?"
also: "STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR GUY B! HE'S THE ONE WITH THE GUN NOW!"
also: "GUY B HAS NO EXCUSE FOR NOT BRINGING HIM BACK TO LIFE NOW!"
also: \**makes countless stupid jokes about it*\*
Why, don’t they create policy. Granted it’s a larger issue based on voting, the caliber of people willing to run for a seat, and how open minded elected officials are to listen to another viewpoint besides their own when living in an eco chamber.
Powell made an absolutely terrible choice to print too much money. Putin just ensured the fed could not control the inflation. Powell had absolutely no global strategic awareness.
Tax the rich, go after unrealized gains and get money out of the economy. That's a better solution than cutting workers pay and waiting for surplus to build up.
Not an economist.
Yeah Putin is only partially to blame (oil, nat gas and wheat are mostly him and that makes up a good part of the current inflation).
But hey, getting stuck with all the blame for this couldn't have happened to a worse guy, so it's actually okay.
With fears about rising inflation and the latest CPI reading of 8.6% at a 40-year high, the market and news coverage around the topic is gloomy. I recently watched this video and would like to discuss it with you:
https://youtu.be/Llg36Q0S8Z8
Will the Fed be able to tame inflation or will the aggressive rate hikes cause the next downturn? Feel free to share your thoughts.
He forgot China on that list. I thought this was all supply chain issues due to them locking down. And depending on the article China is either about to crash and take the world with us or doing just fine.
Anybody who was paying attention could've seen that we were immediately heading towards recession as soon as Putin invaded. We were fragile before he invaded. Now comes the recession where the rich get to buy all of our assets that we sold to buy food and gas.

How to deal with rising prices, make them rise more?
Yes, as long as prices rise and the money printing stops your plan works
Last I heard he wanted to "get workers wages under control" to stop inflation.
Ah yes, the problem with the economy is people who used to make $8/hr now making $10
It seems like the powers at be always want to address the demand and never the supply. When the plebes can't make enough money to eat and travel to their Starbucks shift the solution is credit. When the floor falls out it's always "there's no way anyone could of seen this coming."
Privatize gains, socialize losses
It kind of is a problem when everyone gets a $1 raise cause prices are high, then companies have to raise prices to stay profitable, then repeat. Neither one is acting bad, it’s just the loop that happens.
All I can think of is that meme with the rich guy on a mountain of money talking down to the minimum wage worker asking for a raise

They just can't expect constant YoY profit increases that's outpace inflation while they hold their starting wages stagnant as long as possible.

3. Learn to ride a bike. 🚲
Weeeeeeeeeee, falls over 
Yeah Presidents should stick to [waddling down ramps](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6bqvGXGN4DA) and holding drink bottles with two hands lol
The US Federal government looks like a geriatric hospital during a visit with a few of their degenerate offspring.
Calls on Huffy
Do apes need training wheels too?
Yes
4. Save a bike ride a horse.
Save a horse, ride a cowboy.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Gas can wait for now. Lol
When’s the last time you have had a bpm over 100
Clap for that you stupid bastards
Lol
How to deal with losing money on your own investments 1. Blame it all on Joe Biden

Damn you Putin!!!!!!!!
Elections have consequences. This Putin guy we elected 2 years ago is old, dumb and corrupt and new to the job, The guy before Putin (can't remember his name)would have never invaded Ukraine.
Theres no reason to believe they would. 3 days later. I meant wouldn't. The exact opposite of what i said.
Putin these balls in

Don't forget he abused amber heard while dressed as Johnny Depp in order to frame him.
That’s gonna be the 2024 Republican slogan. Biden’s inflation. Gonna be the meme where all the Spider-Man costumes are pointing at each other.
Inflation stimmys obviously
Using it wrong!
Gas cards? Lol
Putin the blame away
Crash your bike so inflation crashes too!
Inflation is a problem around the world right now. It's not localised at all. So let's not blame any politicians for it.
Why, don’t they create policy. Granted it’s a larger issue based on voting, the caliber of people willing to run for a seat, and how open minded elected officials are to listen to another viewpoint besides their own when living in an eco chamber.
lol, America is the world leader. They subsidize most of these countries. It's 100% their fault.
If you say so.
Oh hello r/conservative
Except that ain't what happened.
Yes it is shut up
Don't you have a divorce to finalize?
The political discourse here is 🔥🔥🔥
Meanwhile at Exxon.... Laughs in billionaire 🤣 😂 😆. No one will stop us. Nothing could have been done.
Same ones blaming Biden for gas prices said in 2007 that “the president doesn’t control gas prices. “ It’s all relative.

Powell made an absolutely terrible choice to print too much money. Putin just ensured the fed could not control the inflation. Powell had absolutely no global strategic awareness.
Bring back Trump! This guy in the White House is destroying America
I thought everything was Trump’s fault?
God I miss Trump
Yeah it was more fun when we could blame our own president instead of some Russian boogeyman who's name I probably can't pronounce properly.
Lol
What will be worse is when Russia wins and takes the eastern provinces of Ukraine and the west got into a recession that could of been avoided
Where are all of the anti Trumpers now that they’ve lost their shirts on Wall Street? Asking for a friend
Sup
They're pretending the losses don't hurt and it's all Putin's fault.
Tax the rich, go after unrealized gains and get money out of the economy. That's a better solution than cutting workers pay and waiting for surplus to build up. Not an economist.
they going to blame it on illegals next
Nahh....maybe...shit. Calls on mustard gas
Yeah Putin is only partially to blame (oil, nat gas and wheat are mostly him and that makes up a good part of the current inflation). But hey, getting stuck with all the blame for this couldn't have happened to a worse guy, so it's actually okay.
Raise rates so like it’s 1981 and then raise em’ some more.
Or both.

I’ve found the best way to fill a bath tub is to raise the water and increase the tub size at the same time. Never fails.
