    it’s a zero-sum game and most Americans are losing so rich fucks can have their “good economy”.

    That does seem to be what his rhetoric is pointing at:

    “But for all we’ve done to bring prices down, there are still too many corporations in America ripping people off. Price gouging, junk feeds, greedflation, shrinkflation,” Biden added.

      “bring prices down”? Does Biden think we’re in a deflationary period or is he intentionally misleading people?

      EDIT: It’s weird how when people ask why prices haven’t come down they’re mocked for not understanding the difference between deflation and lower inflation. But when the president of the United States confuses them and I point it out I get down voted. Classy people. Classy.

        It’s not allowed to discuss “bring wages up.” Only impossibilities of putting the genie back in the bottle such as this. That way Biden can continue to deliver on his most important promise to donors - nothing will fundamentally change.
