    Sure. But inflation is down, we didn’t go into a recession, and wage growth has been outpacing inflation for over a year now.

    This is good, we’re going in the right direction. Deflation would be way worse.

      Going in the right direction is fantastic except that it takes too long to really feel the impact, so all the low information voters will put in a republican, they’ll just happen to be in office when the good times hit, but then they’ll ruin it completely, which won’t be felt until a Democrat takes over, who then will have to clean up the mess, repeat ad infinitum

      We should raise the minimum wage until it is commensurate with the price gouging. All at once, since none of the corporations eased us into higher prices.

      But we have zero parties in this country that are willing to raise the minimum wage at the national level.
