Let's Talk About Media

That's why we have so many news organizations. There is no shortage of media for either side. I dont watch every Biden press secretary press briefing like you but I know damn well there conservative media there asking questions. If the questions you want aren't asked then take that up with the conservative media.
 
Inflation rates around the world:

Turkey: 83.45%
Argentina: 83%
Netherlands: 14.5%
Russia: 13.7%
UK: 10.1%
Germany: 10%
Europe: 9.9%
Spain: 8.9%
Italy: 8.9%
Mexico: 8.7%
United States: 8.2%

One of great failings of media is not explaining how

inflation is a GLOBAL problem. They also didn’t explain

how we’re in one of great price gouging eras of our time.

These corporations are playing everybody and engaging

in unprecedented markups for profit.
 
Remember, Trump isn't to blame for failing to protect the country from the virus because other countries had the same problems. So all they can do is complain that someone is pointing out their hypocrisy by calling it whataboitisim.

A global problem caused by the same failing economic policy. But I’m sure inflation just happens naturally and the left is not to blame at all.

Why did corporations begin to act so brazen? Surely, greed existed before 2021
 
I didnt read that last part of the post. The idea that inflation is cause by corporate greed is retarded. The only areas that can or is true is where there is a government legislated monopoly so the consumer has no choice.


This is very typical of the left fiscal policy because they don't understand the basics of economics. Its like the laws of physics. You cant change physics with legislation. It will just lead to the downward cycle that happened in Venezuela.

Anyone that’s remotely paid attention to quarterly earnings would have noticed how corporate profits are down this year.

Why do Democrats take the ramblings of ex Sportscenter anchors so seriously?

The quarterly data will go up and down but corporate profits as a share of GDP is on a pretty steep upward path. Bounced around 5-7% of GDP from 1950 to 2000. Been on an upward trajectory and broke 10% last year. Mostly reflects American markets becoming more concentrated. Antitrust and competition policy has failed us on a bipartisan basis. This increase in corporate profits as a share of GDP translates to a transfer of $3,000 per capita from workers and consumers to corporations and those who own those corporations. $3,000 per capita per year.

We agree with the issue of corporatization of our society in general but using a figure that has a bunch of noise (especially in reaction to pandemic times) doesn't really say much.

I was referencing y/y comps, not macro trends going back the 1950’s.
