Is it just this? It's gonna stop working lol, it already is

What is the US response to supply chain and job market collapse?

Are they just so fucking up their own ass they aren't seeing the issue? I do not understand

That's a 7% inflation lol. Thats across the board too, I'm sure certain markets are higher.

Food and housing are rising at 07-08 levels, but they're just shrugging at it

Like that ain't gonna work without some kind of interference from the fed. What the fuck is the response

    Their plan is to take money away from consumers. Seriously. They think the problem is people have too much money.

      I mean, they are kinda correct. Production has no way to meet demand, which means, to them, that people have too much money to have that demand. Very typical austerity logic. The problem is, that if that IS the solution, then the American Dream is not only well and truly dead (which has been obvious to the downwardly mobile middle class), but it has been crucified and put on display for all to see.
