This article needs to be spread around all the time. Every time facts come out you will have some overseas retard claiming that nothing is wrong.
Meanwhile it's paid Russians or somalis or some crap as found out by the X debacle.
Inflation is very real and tariffs have jacked prices up even more. Private equity is driving prices even higher and destroying companies. Fucking Del Monte went bankrupt because of unregulated economics allowing private equity to run away with America's future.

This country fucking sucks and is being dismantled piece by piece by monied interests from the inside out. The rich are consolidating money and power, leaving the rest with less than nothing: debt and servitude.

Aha. Ahem.
Still will never vote for a Democrat. In fact, to avoid a repeat of 2022 I'll actively be voting against them until the democrat party is destroyed or there's a better option.

oh just wait about a month until the revised numbers come out. this 3.8% is a cooked number, it is fake and gay.
and the wage to inflation gap is way bigger than reported here. energy and food are higher than ever. it will not feel like 3.8% to the average american.
hold on to your hats, this is just the beginning.

What people don't realize is how they get the employment number and the wage number.
For you even to even see employment and wage figures is to look at people who are working 40 hours a week.
Employers typically make sure you don't work 40 hours a week because they don't want to pay healthcare. 75% of the fucking population isn't being looked at here.
Of course the numbers are very skewed.

McDonald's employees.
And no they don't. They want to pick up additional dollars for their holdings by making non-fulltime employees use ACA for healthcare.
Piggy liigies see the basic problems, the use the solutions corpos tell them will work.
