It's not something that magically flips on or off... It's a result of market pressures. Pressure takes time to move things like markets. Trump very early on elevated the pressure, and COVID made sure the average working person was never going to match it. That's the inflation we've seen.

Inflation happens constantly because rich fucking morons designed the economy to require it in order to open their own avenues and justify their own jobs.

We're saying the same thing. The system is designed this way. Also most "inflation" is just corporate greed and seeing how much they can take from the poor

Not really. You keep trying to say negative things in response to positive news about "Biden's economy", type stuff. I was responding to you asking questions about inflation.

While Biden does not have his hand on some magical economy wheel, to repeatedly bring up negative things in response to positive discussion absolutely comes across as partisan gaslighting.

You are talking as if you are a partisan hack. I am talking as if I know things about the economy. We are not the same.

The "economy" is rich people's bank accounts, not the health of the population, not the happiness, not the wellbeing
