Everyone says the economy is the most important thing... without understanding anything about the economy.

MAGA: Easier to blame Biden than learn about inflation. And don't even get me started on gas prices...

[gingw]

Corporate greed is most of the problem right now. They're making record making profits while sqeezing the life out of us poorer folks.

And now we’re here. Buckle up, everyone!

I've been explaining the covid supply chain issue to my republican friends but they still blame biden. Ridiculous.

All trump would do is blame everything bad on someone else and take credit for anything good and keep lying about the facts

I’m a manufacturing manager. I own supply chain purchases. Many ICs went up 10x in price in 2021. There are basic building blocks of PCBAs. Therefore all electronics were affected. It was a direct result of factory shutdowns due to Covid. Manufacturers just literally couldn’t meet the market demand. Relatedly, shipping and other normally fixed expenses were hit by price spikes that affected all goods. All of this was a result of Covid. You’ll remember that Trump was President when Covid hit. Blaming Biden for a supply chain issue that happened under Trump isn’t just ignorant or disingenuous, it’s gaslighting.

Corporate greed is literally the reason why everything keeps getting expensive.

Its wild that people think he is a good business man after 6 bankruptcies and 34 felony fraud convictions. He ran all of his businesses into the ground and made money by pickkng the corpses clean. Thats what he will do to our country.

It's laughable that some people think that the recent inflation after Covid was only a problem in the US. Every country has had to deal with this issue from supply chain disruptions after the pandemic. The US inflation is now the lowest in 3 years and in much better shape than other countries in the G7.

Trumps tariffs are crazy foolish for the economy.

[janicehotchkiss]

Krogers executive testified a few weeks ago that the grocery chain raised prices beyond the added costs of inflation. GREED. [Article in Business Insider]

[noahmullins]

Also... the prices increased much more than inflation increased. People are feeling issues due to companies not reducing prices after the supply chain recovered after covid. They realized people would keep paying for things at high prices. Trump will not regulate them and will only make this worse. Kamala has been clear about solving this issue. It's an easy choice

[debbienelson]

When the ex-president doesn't know that tariffs increase the cost of goods purchased by consumers, he's ignorant.

[MsYO]

People are pretty dumb. This is obvious.

[expeditionadventure]

It's so refreshing to see someone finally explaining to people that the president doesn't have as much control over the economy as they say they do. Thank you!

[jonathancruz]

MAGA no like facts. Fact no good Trump good.

[byfrax]

There is one thing though - banning corporations from greedflating - something that kamala wants to tackle and trump definitely doesn't

[alonzo_trys]

I’m am studying finance and you’re 100 percent correct. It’s unfortunate that average American doesn’t not grasp this concept, Presidents don’t dictate this or even things like gas prices that is not how it works.

No one wants to live under a dictator….
