Right. I can’t believe I am even participating in a thread that someone is trying to argue much higher than average inflation isn’t hurting people financially

It’s like saying you aren’t getting wet in a downpour



OP is clearly retarded.

Gas is the biggest thing for me right now. I do a lot of driving for work. I’m reimbursed for my fuel while working but I’m still in the hole until I get my mileage check. Went from $45 to fill up my truck at the end of 2020 to $100 dollars

You can only kick the can down the road for so long. It’ll eventually affect everyone. Can’t just keep printing money.

a) you’re lying
b) you’re too ignorant to know how inflation has affected you.

Exactly. Republicans seem to be bitching for the sake of bitching. Nobody has really changed their decision making at this point.


Inflation is great. I get poorer every day and the money I've been saving my whole life is worth less

frick you and the incompetent people you vote for.

I hope the worst for you. Seriously.

Even for people where this is true, inflation is still impacting them. Actually, for them it's probably more noticeable than the rest. Poor people ate already conditioned to being broke. Blowing 440k a year means you're doing and buying lots of things that are hit hard by inflation.

It affects people in different ways. We budget so we won't be eating out much and running the roads. We still can...we just choose not to.

I remember when people on Facebook were clamoring for $4-5 gas to get the precious oilfield workers back to work but no one really gave a shite about the guy who has his own lawn care business or guys who drive trucks for a living.

Live where you work. Problem solved.

Would you want to live in a city full of liberals? Would you be able to sleep with the sound of police sirens, gun shots, and horns honking? Do you want to walk to your car and wonder if it will be in the parking spot where you left it? I may not have a choice about where I work but it will be a cold day in hell before I live there!

Yes. Eating out less, buying fewer things. Wife is turning her car off when waiting in line to pick up the kids.

Not to mention I’ve had to have cost increase conversations with every single customer of mine.

Work where you live would be great.

What if you work at a plant that is located in an extremely shitty area?

What if your company is located downtown in some urban area where you don't want to be after dark?

What if the schools near work are the worst in the state?

What if your company relocated, and you didn't want to uproot your family from the only home they had ever known?

So many people act like everyone can just hop from job to job like they are fry cooks at a fast food joint. Once you reach a certain level, and if you have a certain specialty, you unfortunately get locked into companies that fit.

You have got to been genuinely stupid. When you’re hard earned dollar is not worth a dollar then, you are being effected.
