Wow the right wing spoiler candidate is denigrating the one to beat?! Weird!! |
Except that isn't the cause of the inflation. The cause is the economic shock from COVID and the follow on disruptions. That has all been cleared out, but the corporations have not reduced the prices back to where they were, and are thus reaping record profits as a result. |
No panic here. We've repeatedly told you what's going on. But here it is again: https://www.vox.com/money/23641875/food-grocery-inflation-prices-billionaires |
Can you tell me something about Whizy Kim, the author of that piece? Does she have a degree? What's it in? Why is her opinion important? |
It’s not her opinion, she’s a reporter. There’s a link in her article that tells you that. https://www.vox.com/authors/whizy-kim There are also lots of other links in her article backing up the facts she’s reporting. |
It's her OPINION. Just go back to all the articles she's written in the past. Her agenda shines through. |
You know what they say about opinions, even you have one. She’s still a reporter and that piece is full of facts. |
Except she provides links and citations in her article to back up her opinion. Which you don't. And sorry but when you whine about an "agenda" when it's backed up by facts yet you have no facts to back up your own arguments it makes you look like you have a counter-agenda, and that your counter-agenda is weak and pathetic and not supported by facts. |
All true. And the Republican Party wouldn’t do anything to improve inflation. Unless you count giving tax cuts to billionaires, but I don’t think that would actually help inflation (the billionaire owned corporate media would fall all over themselves praise it). |
Conservatives don't know how to think anymore. They just know who to like and who to hate. |
Oh the Republicans also want tariffs on everything! That will surely help with inflation! 🤪 |
Oh you work for the BLS? Then maybe you can comment on today's news item... JPMorgan, BlackRock Among BLS Economist’s CPI ‘Super Users’ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-09/jpmorgan-blackrock-among-bls-economist-s-cpi-super-users (Bloomberg) -- An economist from the Bureau of Labor Statistics corresponded on data related to a key US inflation gauge with major Wall Street firms like JPMorgan Chase & Co. and BlackRock Inc., raising questions about equitable access to economic information. |
She provides links to items that she agrees with. She also leaves out information and citations on items she doesn't agree with. All I have to do is look at her past writings to know exactly what slant she puts forth. |
Yep, Whizy is checking all the progressive DNC boxes. https://www.vox.com/authors/whizy-kim |

Another day, another bad economic report as March inflation came in higher (0.4%) than concensus (0.3%). Annual inflation is now at 3.5%, well above the feds 2% target...
Bidenomics working!!! |
