Not really. You’re just in the camp of “get out and vote no matter what.”

you should go to China and ask average Chinese people about how they feel about their “cheap groceries”.

Have you done this? What did they say?

wealth inequality is a huge problem, and attribute it to inflation is naive. the rich has power in a capitalistic society, they will win no matter we are in an inflationary or deflationary economy. to think deflation will be good for the working people is very naive.

You haven’t disproved my point about inflation being a tool for the ruling class to recoup the gains of the working class, which it is. You’ve just said “they will win no matter what and deflation is not good for working people” without explaining why.

Can you elaborate on why deflation is bad? Do you think inflation isn’t a result of workers having more money to spend and businesses raising prices to maximize profit?

Have you played the campaigns for older Call of Duty games and the like? They still hold up.

What the heck… did they really think they were going to find Sasquatch? I could believe one person going off and doing this, but for 2 to do it and not even be prepared to last a few days in the forest is insane.

Nah. I’m not trying to fit in, which you seem to have conveniently ignored.

I could be wrong, but the evidence points to inflation being a result of the working class having more spending power. It means that no matter what gains the working class makes, the ruling class will take them back with interest.

If you think this is incorrect, feel free to say why.

Does it? All I see are people spreading FUD but not giving any evidence as to why this isn’t true.

Are you saying it’s not true based solely on the source?

What if it is true? Then can we keep them around?

Fuck sanctions.

If domestic producers want domestic buyers, they should lower their prices to be competitive and take less profit as a result. But they won’t do that if they can have the government step in to artificially raise the prices of competitors’ products.

If they can’t do this while paying employees respectable wages, then it shouldn’t be up to the government to step in and bail them out.

We’re literally letting the government force us to have worse deals so people richer than us can be even richer at our expense.

Deflation is a great thing.

The working class has been conditioned to think it’s “bad” and inflation is “inevitable” because inflation is how the ruling class recoups any gains the working class has made, with interest.

Personally, I think it goes a bit deeper than this. Insecure people always want to feel they “know” everything, so they will often overreach and make claims about something they don’t understand just to look smart and fit in. For example, always using the word “consumer” instead of “customer.” They want to sound smart, like they went to school and learned about consumers, but they don’t realize how they’re acting without thinking. It’s all a show to avoid admitting they don’t really know what they’re talking about.

Inflation is the same. Since it’s almost guaranteed to happen and it benefits the ruling class, the average worker has been conditioned to see it as beneficial. They are praised for going along with the narrative that inflation is necessary and it makes them “feel smart” even if they are incorrect.

Saying “communism doesn’t work” is another example.

It sucks because due to enshittification and meme-chasing, we need to rely on more expensive but lower-quality vehicles that have a bunch of ‘features’ we don’t want or need just so corporations can charge us more than the feature costs to implement.

Ignoring us is what results in Trump presidencies.

Honestly, for a bit, it’s probably best they rely on a more tribal mentality before they decide how to centralize power.

I can say I’ll never buy another lenovo product again.

My laptop is, of course, broken at both hinges due to ridiculously thin and cheap plastic.

This is inexcusable and only exists to make a few rich people a bit richer.

You don’t need a church for any of that, which is my point.

But not being in a relationship is what causes them to do these things…

Except for pedophiles.

Sad. Looks like the protests didn’t work.

Greed is good, even if you’re a woman. I see no shortage of entitled scumbags, regardless of sex. Misogyny and misandry are never acceptable.

Be careful of people who are bitter about their lives trying to bring you down with them; they will if you allow it.

I personally say, good riddance!

Hopefully we can pivot from helping people as a guise to recruit them into a religion to helping people because they need help!
