    • Saying “well I’m not doing okay, how dare you say I’m not struggling” and getting all fucked up and angry about it, so that anyone that tells you that millions of low-income workers are making more now than they were a few years ago, like way more, and that’s a good thing, looks like an asshole

    You’re up to 4 out of 6 but I don’t feel like playing anymore. Some other time

    Like I say, someone struggling, I have sympathy for. Someone lying, to try to misrepresent the economy with the ultimate goal of encouraging the election of someone who will hurt those struggling Americans in ways that will make the current struggle life look like sunshine and roses, I don’t have sympathy with. Don’t try to pretend you are one when you’re the other.

      Please do go ask them about their house they just bought with all this “way more” money and how now they’re no longer living paycheck to paycheck. /s

      Did I mention the election at all here? You realize the economy can be “doing great” (for corporations, the stock market, etc) and millions of people can still be struggling right?

        5/6

        What do you think about inflation? I don’t think it’s really that high, to be honest. I looked at the numbers on the Federal Reserve page, and they seem pretty reasonable to me except for the spike in 2022. What do you think about it, though?

          What do you want me to say about it? “I love inflation”? It doesn’t matter what you call it to a family of four putting items back at the grocery store they can’t afford.

            Just tell me that you’re mad that CPI doesn’t include housing fuel and food, or whatever

            I want to get a bingo and exit the conversation

              Americans are mad the system is rigged against them and our government works for the corporations not the people. Capitalism kills.

                Okay I’ll try for the bingo another time. It is disappointing though.
