Great, now my dollar is worth even less. But alas, who cares? Capitalism works and I'll just make more money while crybabies bitch about how it's not fair people like me that actually work have more.

I hope daddy Biden brings you all the presents you want for Christmas. You can thank people like me that actually pay taxes.

^^This person who thinks Nazis were communists is lecturing about capitalism. :lol:

The truly funny thing is, even if you make more than I do, which I doubt, it doesn't validate anything you say. You were triggered into a taunt. Weak sauce.

Tell us more about how inflation is ruining you. I mean, until last year, inflation was running around 2%, which it had been for more than a decade. Last year, the epidemic that Trump failed to adequately respond to broke employment and supply chains. The capitalist globalist economy with it's interconnected just in time supply system is inherently weak and it broke. It failed and while it is recovering, supply shortages and downsized workforces are causing shortages, rising salaries and rising cost.

Now that Biden has adroitly and almost perfectly managed the end days of the epidemic, companies are hiring, employment is getting back to normal and -- bonus -- wages are finally going up too. This surge in inflation is entirely due to Trump's mishandling of the epidemic AND "free market" multinational corporate bullshit. Inflation when coming out of the pandemic was predicted years ago. That turned out to be true. But a guru like you already knew that, didn't he?

This inflation spike isn't restricted to America. It's a world wide thing. Investors have and will do well out of it. Its not necessarily a bad thing as most of us have some money tied up in the market thru Superannuations schemes or housing. Its only bad if wages don't increase to cover it.

But all the toys have gone up. Classic motorcycles and cars, pinball and amusement machines, boats. People have been spending. That means the stimulus programs countries have been running have been working. We wont see a major depression like we otherwise might.

There might even be some bargains available as interest rates rise and people have to offload toys or property.

Instead of celebrating recovery as this epidemic winds down, they are doing their best to ruin it for all of us. After all, the only way Trump and his kind win is if they prevent Biden from succeeding. They play a zero sum game while Democrats shoot for win-win solutions.

Trump is a horrific and comedic footnote in America politics but it has unearthed what a huge % of Americans who are just ignorant and racist with no real idea of politics. How America goes about educating this electoral college voting block is a problem. Not just for Americans but the rest of the world. Trump was so unstable and had no respect for allies or prev well working foreign policies.
How stable America and the world has been since the election shows what a contrast it was.

As you know i'm not a huge fan of President Biden but this Infrastructure bill is a clear winner.

The polls would be the same for any Democratic president at this point IMO & actually much worse if a woman had been elected. There is no news unless there is tension. Over the next year no one will see any news about the GOP platform. There can't be bc there isn't one. All that will be reported are quotes from the former guy on how he would have done things much better, not how but "much better" & interviews with rural citizens, a minority, on how the country is going in the wrong direction as their preferred party fights against every attempt to improve the lives of low-income folks & the drastically shrinking middle class.

Just look at Rollitup circus of circle jerking.

But Carville was parsing the Wokeness last week before the election shellacking so it's just typical Lib going with the flow. Just that sometimes the failures of Lib polices cannot be hidden.

It seems some of our MAGA members doesn't know how supply and demand works. So I will explain it where they can understand it.

Imagine you wanted to buy a ten pack of seeds of the latest most popular strain. But the seed company will only release 10 ten packs in an auction, and there are 100 growers trying to buy them. The scarcity will cause the individual growers to pay more than they want to if they really want to grow that strain. In this case the scarcity is artificial. The seed company have tons of seeds, but they only release a few at a time. They can make the same amount of money selling less seeds.

Now imagine that car companies thought folks would buy less cars because of the pandemic, so they cancelled orders for computer chips. Now imagine that the chip makers sold those chips to other customers. And in the mean time, lots of the middle and upper income folks were working from home, not going out to eat, or go on vacation while they were making the same money as before, so they were saving thousands of dollars per month. With lots of them living in cities, they suddenly wanted to buy cars so they could get out in the countryside. But the car companies didn't have enough cars to sell them. Did they sell what they had at the old prices, first come, first served? No, they raised the prices as high as the market would bear.

Now image the same bunch of folks suddenly bought lots of shit off Amazon and other online shopping sites. And the factories in Asia were understaffed due to the pandemic so their output was less than normal. Since there was so much stuff being shipped all of a sudden, there was a shortage of shipping containers. Did the shipping companies keep charging the same amount per container? No they kept raising the price per container until the supply and demand equaled out. (the price of shipping a container from China to the West Coast actually doubled from $10K to $20K from July to September) So the cost of retail and online stores went up sharply. Amazon raised the price until the supply and demand equaled out.

Now imagine everything you buy is impacted by this set of events, and you will have a better understanding of the way the world works.
