War Will Push U.S. Inflation Above 4 Percent This Year, O.E.C.D. Says

Clearly it's fake news, or Biden's fault, or paying more for things is patriotic and the word "affordable" is a hoax from Democrats, or it's Obama's fault. Also it's not a war, but we won the war, we are winning the war, and we will win the war in two weeks, but also not a war, and Iran started it 47 years ago and now was the perfectly timed genius strike. ...Like a Republican choose your own lack of personal responsibility salad, because there's no way god king Trump could have done wrong, "it can only good happen" as the gospel says.

Well, I saw signs that said a *vote* for Harris writing mean higher taxes, costs, and wars. I voted for Harris and it happened!

Remind in 1 month Cause shitz about to double

I voted for Harris, and all those bad things happened, just as predicted. (of course, Trump did them, but it must be because I voted for Harris. That logic is just as good as anything I hear from the redhats.)

That neighbor will be burning those signs for heat this winter and still not see the irony.

They want it to happen because they think it will bring the rapture. Meanwhile, churches operate tax free. 

No f*** them, stop giving them any sort of attention. Let these f*** heads rot and dont let them weasel their way out if it. I already know a bunch of real life idiots who are trying to pretend they weren't supporting the pedophiles in charge. This is what you voted for now f****** deal with it. Can't wait to see all the defaulted trucks and houses these troglodytes cant afford any more.

They'll just plug their ears and yell about how "iT waS 9% UnDeR bIDeN" so we aren't allowed to complain. Of course they refuse to comprehend the pandemic was a real thing that happened and high inflation was literally unavoidable. They cannot acknowledge that Biden's policies has nothing of do with the economy in 2022, that the entire world was suffering in those days and most of them had worse economic recoveries than the US. Whereas Trump's policies have produced near-immediate negative effects on the global economy. And not just Iran: Tariffs, gutting USAID, cancelling every trade deal even the ones trump himself negotiated. Biden really left trump with a golden opportunity to cruise through 4 years of a rising economy and he somehow still managed to invert that graph. Maga does not think rationally. At best They do not understand the concept of Nuance and do not possess the skills to perform critical analysis on topics like this beyond looking at 2 numbers and saying 1 is bigger. At worse, they are purposefully ignorant to it and actively gaslight to obfuscate the truth in the world and maintain their agendas Because for them the suffering of others is more important than any form of peace and prosperity. Ice like to believe that not all conservitive-aligned people are like this, but the deep maga 100% are. They would gladly burn down this country and everything they despise about it if it means that they personally are winning in comparison to the other people living here.

If they could understand even simple things, they wouldn't be conservatives.

They only care that you are upset. They will gladly burn on the pyre if it means you will choke on the smoke.

They know, they don't give a shit. They straight up one a 4th Reich under a cross. That's it. They care about nothing else. If they did, they wouldn't shift from position to position to justify the heinous shit their party and its leadership do on the daily.

They’ll still say it’s a small price to pay for “saving America”

Their answer is going to be replace the fed chair with a yes man sycophant, manually push the interest rate down and then blame Biden when interest rates shoot up to the sky.

Yes but Biden had inflation at 5% at one point so this doesn’t matter!!!!!!

The pain is needed because it’s all part of Gods plan. Or something like that

They don’t care. Just like war was bad until Trump started one and now MAGA support for war is 92%.

“Biden strikes again!”

I want to hear them explain why it's a good thing.

I had one tell me last year tariffs were not doing anything because corn was c****. Like dude you're in the Midwest, of course it is c****.

Why bother? They aren't mentally capable of comprehending anything more advanced than "food go mouth yum yum"

But rich people can buy up all the foreclosed homes..

One of the government reports on inflation last year said my industry only saw 1.7% inflation at one point and I knew that was fake immediately. Every company I know had their costs shoot up dramatically. My own went up over 50% year over year. That drove our prices up. 1.7% inflation my f****** ass.

Yeah in January 2027 I bet it’ll be 6% compared to January 2026.  Maybe I should get on poly market.

We are though? We only missed Octobers inflation numbers due to the shutdown. Ppi literally just came out this month and it looks freaking awful. No way those are sycophant numbers March cpi comes out on 4/12 I think Edit: his edit makes this comment irrelevant

\> Edit: we are getting reporting but it continues to not match consumer experience. Yeah, I'm wondering why these systems aren't open source public algorithms like the Federal Reserve. Why is this shit proprietary and paper drafted?

I wonder if some fascist Administration openly took over the independent reporting and skewed the numbers to hide how bad they are last year...

This is why things like the big Mac index are so interesting....

This year at my job all 60k employees received a 0% raise. Yay!

Now the President of Peace is a shoe-in to steal the Nobel Peace Prize from next year’s w*****.

You joke but we literally gave him a second term because we were mad about Biden’s inability to clean up 100% of the messes he made in his first term.

It's patriotic apparently. Who knew?

I've already seen on Facebook (I know, I need to stop), but they have taken to the narrative that we're freeing innocent women who were begging for our help, and they're willing to take a small hit for future safety. AKA, their heads are so far up his ass, they're watching hamberders digest in real time.

Hey you wanted people to use less gas to save the planet. Well Papa Trump is making it so people literally cannot buy the same amount of gas they normally would. You are welcome.

Im tired boss. 32 and struggling to pay off $15k credit card debt (mostly my cats fault) and cant even imaging being able to afford a home here, marriage, taking care of a family, vacation… i make more than my mom did 20 years ago and she could buy a SFH and take care of 3 kids. Im looking tk move away from DC. Everyone says jobs are good here but thats only true if you have clearance or work in medical field or a contractor

My 3.6% pay raise has been nullified before it even hits my bank account.

Lucky, mine is was 1.97… should have been 2%, boss likes round numbers so he rounded down.

They already reported 3.1 so it’s probably 4 now.

Biden is like a political jedi. He becomes more powerful when you strike him down out of office. His presidential force ghost is pulling the "economy bad" lever all the way.

A bag of groceries is like $50+ now. It's so fucked. I'm eating way worse than I did 18 months ago.

Layoff notice in 3, 2, 1...

So many Americans didn't want this though....

You do know that the suffering is going to be quite a bit worse for the rest of the world than it will be for the US. Like Iran targeting LNG infrastructure is sending Europe into a full blown energy crisis. While the US has enough NG to supply everyone here plus all our exports (US is the number 1 LNG exporter) They are expecting 3-5 years AFTER the war ends for those facilities to be rebuilt and back online. Europe is so fucked...

the entire world has to suffer the idiocy of America
