Are we going to start polling on things like what the current temperature is outside, too?
I guess this is more about how delusional some wingers are going to be about the most basic of facts.
Why does this have to be framed like an opinion piece though? 82% say? Look at the data. The costs are up for everything, the shrinkflation is also accelerated, and everything is moving to a subscription model where nobody owns anything. ITS NOT AN OPINION IT IS THE REALITY OF LATE STAGE CAPITALISM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
And 18% can't do math.
inflation persists
Well yeah, that's how it works. The percentages spoke of are the rate of increase and inflation is cumulative.
Nah, we can undo inflation by implementing deflation. That worked almost a century ago, didn't it? /j
There's no way inflation is 2% when my groceries increased 50% last year.
Yes, well, but the Cybertruck is like $15-20,000 cheaper so it all averages out to 2%.
/s
You can only deny reality for so long, that receipt don't lie
It seems like 18% are making a go of it.
I just saw a clip on MeidasTouch of some Republicunt staring straight into the camera and denying a simple, verifiable fact like what the GDP was under Biden, though, so these people are very good at lying to others as well as themselves.
Before Trump, I sweated buying my first electric guitar in decades. Now my weekly groceries cost more than what I paid for it.
This sounds correct. Red states being the biggest welfare queens, I’d say being aligned with people who hate poor people is getting you exactly what you voted for. Sure, dems dislike poor people but at least they’re better at hiding the fact that they want them all dead and instead use the people as institutionalized slave labor.
Fuck, that hurt to type out.
Good luck getting Captain Accountability to acknowledge his fuck up.
You know that famous saying "the buck stops... over there somewhere."
It's amazing what tariffs and uncertainty can do to an economy.
