The Fed has it backwards. Wage increases have not caused prices to rise. Price increases have caused real wages (what wages can actually purchase) to fall.
Prices are increasing at the rate of 6.8% annually but wages are growing only between 3-4%.https://t.co/Vk3TsAjN63
By the way, just four large conglomerates control most meat processing. Half of the recent rise in grocery prices is from meat products — beef, pork, and poultry.
The major draw of the Republican Party is never having to defend horrible behavior.
Complete hypocrisy? Cronyism? Corruption? Treason? Sexual assault? Obvious bad faith?
Not one problem.
Make no mistake: Trump's coup is still ongoing. The attacks on our democracy have only worsened since last year's attack.
The choice now is between saving our democracy or saving the filibuster. Whichever way it goes will be Joe Biden’s most enduring legacy. pic.twitter.com/fHNrKyyUo1
Conservatives want to break public schools and disrespect teachers, 75% of which are women. This is all on brand for their misanthropic fascist policies. They want corporate charter schools to take taxpayer dollars to make crony shareholders rich.
Pay teachers. Fund education. Protect schools.
For all the TERFs out there who keep telling me I don't look like a woman because I have a big forehead…
Most of the anti-trans you don’t look like a woman is based not on any science but on personal preferences of what individual people think is attractive or not attractive to them. I have posted pictures that are easy to find of trans people who you wouldn’t even think are trans because they look like what people have traditionally accepted as that gender. That is why letting young people use puberty blockers is so very important, other wise people are left with an adult body that is not representative what they are. Puberty blockers are not harmful, widely used for many conditions, and complete reversible.
Russia, Belarus, and other CSTO members send ‘peacekeeping forces’ and now we have orders to murder protestors without warning.
Henry Payne loves to make fun of anything having to do with public safety. The cartoonist openly shows contempt for: Public schools, people who attend public schools, teachers, and learning. With cases rising, everyone is home sick anyway. Might as well remote learn. Can only hope all the kids have the means to connect to the remote learning websites. Scottie
is this a conspiracy … or possibly the truth? How deep does thee greed go? Scottie
So incorrect, it is an out right lie that the misleading right wing media gets away with because they know their followers don’t check. How many Americans could find Kazakhstan on a map? I’m putting the over/under at 2%.
NEWS FLASH – The government of Kazakhstan has not “resigned!!” As a matter of fact, Kazak police and armed forces have been joined by Vladdy’s troops with orders to shoot – without warning!! As usual BADwyn gets his “facts” WRONG!!! I’m thinking Al is upset that Trump didn’t have Russia invade the USA to keep Trump in power.
Prices are determined on supply and demand….
U.S. gas price, December 2012: $3.310 / gallon.
U.S. gas price, December 2021: $3.307 / gallon.
Gas prices declined long term during Obama’s second term, but trended upward under Trump, who intervened in the market to protect his supporters (Texas and Russian oil companies). This trend was reinforced by the Biden economic recovery. Apparently Goodwin would prefer to throw 15-20 million Americans out of work than return to the normal gas prices of a decade ago. Because, you know, Biden must be blamed. Scottie
