    that’s great, and means absolutely nothing to the people making minimum wage, who are now paying 30%-50% more for bread, milk, eggs, and rent than they were when joe took office. macroeconimic numbers mean nothing when after the pandemic americans got hit in the nose with what felt like the greatest sustained bout of ruinous inflation in peacetime memory. i voted for joe, and kamala, i know they’re better for america than the fascist, by ordinates, but they never enumerated a plan to reel in the gouging occuring from landlords, grocery conglomerates, and just about everyone else squeezing the average american for every penny they have. and that’s why they lost. everything.

      You can thank Republicans for the minimum wage and the killing of a inflation laws. Also, I’m going to point and laugh when you’re paying even more in the new administration.

      I was paying less than ever for eggs only a month ago and gas is like $2.60 in my area. It’s you’re own fault for parroting and believing this garbage.
