That’s a fucking stupid thing to say (or even think).
Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices?

Didn’t have this problem under Trump.

Look at their post history, lol
scottywh@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yeah… I actually did that immediately after I commented that and then just blocked them since I knew there was zero chance of rational discussion.
ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yeah. When you already know there’s nothing better coming, no point in waiting.

What?? The inflation problems literally STARTED under Trump. He’s not to blame for the covid supply chain issues, sure, but “didn’t have this problem under Trump” is an easily fact checked lie.

People started complaining about inflation when Trump was still president, after people started hoarding toilet paper, then at a larger scale after the first stimulus cheques. I’m not blaming him personally for that specifically, COVID was hard for all countries on Earth, but facts are facts.
Tsavo43@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Bullcrap. Nice revisionist history. Inflation was non-existent under Trump. This is all on Biden and his doing everything his feeble mind is able to tank the economy.
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
It was non-existent at the end of Obama’s last turn.
But it definitely is back once Trump started.
Don’t let statistics hit you on your way out.

And even if paychecks grew faster than inflation, so many jobs were lost that inflation was a problem for people under Trump, as I originally stated.

Don’t you get tired from losing?
Tsavo43@lemmy.world 8 months ago
No one loses because of the ranting of fools. I take the down votes here for what they are, the desperate clinging of a false narrative by people that refuse to see reality and instead of thinking for themselves rely on others to do it for them.

The ranting of fools has actually lost us quite a lot

Looks like someone got high by sniffing their own farts again. You’ve been proved wrong with facts that don’t care about your feelings. You don’t get to act enlightened here. Try 4chan’s /pol, you might find a couple of your fellow bleach-drinkings friends there.
Tsavo43@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Wow, the self-righteousness just oozes from you. You haven’t proved anything. Keep trying kid.

Didn’t have this problem under Trump.
That depends very much on your exact position under him… and what exactly you were doing there under him.

And maybe if he’d done a better job with COVID we’d still not have this problem
Tsavo43@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Maybe if Fauci hadn’t lied from the get go Covid wouldn’t have been a problem either.

It’s always in the term after mismanagement that the effects are felt, eg. in the UK how the tories are raising funding sky high for everything, then will inevitably blame Labour for both underspending and making cuts when they get in later this year
Reason 3674 why representative democracy absolutely sucks

My dude, we had covid prices and insane global shortages under Trump.
Not that the huge supply chains were his fault, but my 4 year old GPU appreciated 300% during that period.
