It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The cool thing about inflation "plummeting" is that it doesn't undo the damage high inflation already did. Food is still massively more expensive than it was a year ago, weirdly enough that bothers people.
It also means that prices are still going up, just not as fast
Something so many people miss lmao
"Inflation is down" Ok and? Damage is still done from the insane rate it was at, and thanks to the austerity measures the admin took (like raising interest rates), things are arguably worse
Also 3,0% inflation =/= 3,0% on food. It's probably caused by fuel prices going down, skewing the statistic, while the essentials keep going up?
yeah but wages went up by 5% - person trying to argue what a great job Biden has done.
They didn't seem to get why people are still doing poorly in the economy
I know someone like this, and it's weird because he is not doing well in this economy. I don't get how people lie to themselves about how economics work.
Just do more derivatives until numbers start looking good.
The jerk, snap, crackle, and pop of inflation are lookin' really good!
