You jest, but seriously, inflation is not that hard to understand. You apparently have a very low threshold for calling something pedantic.

How basic of terms should we give up on? Inflation is not a difficult concept. I would barely call it a technical term.

It's not pedantic. People just literally don't understand what inflation means. Wage growth, apparently, has caught up to inflation, so it's really just that people haven't adjusted their mindset to the higher prices now. And they're angry about it.

Food prices are a component of CPI. Food inflation is also around 2%, which is like the ideal inflation rate: https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/food-inflation-in-the-united-states/

Note that it was out of control a couple years ago, which is why prices went way up. I haven't looked at the statistics, but what I have heard is that wage growth, generally, has caught up to inflation, which includes food prices. This is still a feels over reals situation. People feel that their food is too expensive, and Republicans are way better at addressing the feels. One of my favorite signs around the neighborhood said "TRUMP LOW PRICES || KAMALA HIGH PRICES". Like, yeah, that definitely makes sense. Well explained.

That's exactly what I said.

Yeah but GeNoCIdE JoE, etc.

Seriously, it's amazing that more people don't understand that Trump does only what Trump thinks will benefit Trump, even if it's just benefiting the ego.

Grocery inflation is, in fact, not out of control: https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/

I'm so tired of hearing that. But I guess that's part of her messaging problem. She couldn't get through to people looking at high prices and assuming they're still rising.

He plans on ending it by ending Ukraine.

Ok whatever you say.

I mean, Merrick Garland is literally working for Democrats. But they tried to give it the appearance that wasn't working for Democrats. That's what the other poster is complaining about. Trump cases needed to be expedited, knowing that he would piss and moan and delay as much as possible. Now it's too late because he's going to be president in a couple months, and he can just pardon himself.

It's not a matter of "not caring" to win. She miscalculated and campaigned wrong. Did Trump lose in 2020 because he didn't care to win?
