  • The fuck it was. That inflation was already brewing in the wings; Covid just hypercharged it.

    This falls on the Fed for their inane 14 YEARS of open purse monetary policy, despite the economy requiring no stimulus. They (Fed again) finally threw the brakes when it was impossible to avert disaster.

    Meanwhile, Jerome Powell and Janet Yellen happily spent their public appearances gaslighting the country that inflation was “transitory,” while the average American faced 40-YEAR inflation, on the backs of ongoing stagnant wages and a Federal minimum wage that hasn’t increased since 2009.

    It was absolutely not Covid; it was willfully bungled monetary policy from a hack Wall St lawyer, non-economist.

    Are you kidding? The DNC circumvented the entire primary process to give us ANOTHER “anointed one” and, again, possibly the worst candidate possible to create the coalition that has always been Democrats’ bread-and-butter. They even had Hillary go down to FL to lecture voters, while Bill went to Michigan to preach to Muslim communities about why the war in Israel is right. It’s a fucking lampoon of strategy.

    Every single DNC “elite” should retire from politics, today. They’re losers, and losers lose. Because they never learn from their mistakes, which is what is required to win.

    Hubris. Democrats lose because characters like RBG and President Biden simply could not fathom that stepping aside was ALWAYS what they should have done.

    These miserable fucking dinosaurs have gambled away the good intentions, hopes, and stability of the entire nation because their internal mantra was that they are our political saviors, while everyone under 50 was full-throated screaming that they needed to step aside.

    Fuck all you geriatric, foot on the gas, oblivious, incompetent fucks. If (big if) we ever regain our Democracy, the first thing on the agenda should be AGE CAPS for all public offices. Elderly fucking hubris has doomed us to more misery.
