Don't worry guys, even though Donald Trump promised to get consumer costs under control on DAY ONE he still has huge throngs of apologists saying "Rome wasn't built in a day!" "You think you can fix this much stuff Biden broke so quickly?" "Actually, things ARE fixed already!"
For a con-man to flourish, he requires a steady stream of gullible people. Our country has a surplus and more are being manufactured every day. You might say ignorance is our #1 export.
We had an economy that was "the envy of the world" this time last year. And a whole lot of idiots were convinced it was akin to the Great Depression or something.
And so many sat out or voted third party or voted for the pedo-in-chief. Given the way this dumbass and his pals are sitting around and self-dealing and fiddling while they cause cities to erupt in chaos, I think we might just find out how bad everything, including the economy, can really get.
Working people have been suffering for a decades and wealth inequality keeps skyrocketing. Homelessness is skyrocketing. Healthcare is a scam. Politicians have been gaslighting us about this for years while insider trading and taking shady money from lobbyists. Just because line going up doesn’t mean shit to the overwhelming majority of us. The fact is it’s just a reflection of the blood money being squeezed out of our families future so that every last resource gets funneled up to the insatiable shareholders.
I agree that people should have voted against this but we really need accountable representatives. I don’t think we’re going to get that until the pitchforks come out.
