That's funny. That's the exact argument we heard 4 years ago. Well played. What was it, wasn't it, you should be happy to pay more at the pump and the grocery store. I forget the BS reasoning....... but they sure kept feeding it to us.

The far reaching impact of all the inflation/tariff/gas price hikes is how it turbo charges larger corporatiions replacing small businesses.

They can weather these crazy cost shifts.

If you're looking for logic or conspiracy theories right out in the open that's the upshot.

Continually draining the middle class for corporate shareholder returns.

More than that. Bait and switch after 8 years is something else. I can't be associated with any MIGA base that through cognitive dissonance supports this. It's too painful for them to admit that they were lied to it so they pretend like this is a part of the plan and not a total betryal. These are fragile people. I realized he was pulling a Dubya on us when he put Rubio in charge of the State Department and started spending extra time with Lady G. The shameless gaslighting in 2025 over failure to release Epstein files while putting Lutnik as a secretary of commerce. Letting Larry "Ellison" buy up TikTok. It was a gradual betrayal.

Problem is the left is even more rotten with absolutely no sensible policies or morals so there's no alternatives left for independent and centrist voters.

Not far fetched. Though I think he's much more short-sighted by just wanting to insider trade and make himself and his pals a few cool billion. The big business of course takes advantage of it same as during COVID.

People always bitching about the price of gas, yet not enough people complain about how much a mother fricking beer costs at the airport. $35 for 2 beers this morning. That’s like $112/gal. frick me.

The fact that you can’t see a middle ground between starving to death and morbidly obese speaks volumes.

Why are you directly paying for alcohol or food at the airport?
