Annual inflation rose to a three-year-high of 4.2% in May, underscoring how elevated energy prices are rippling through the US economy, according to new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
I remember talking to someone right after 2024 election, who was saying the economy was terrible (“because Biden”, lol), etc.
I asked him how it was terrible for him. He was still working, as was I. I said I’ve been doing relatively okay, and things seemed to be back on the right track, etc.
He says something along the lines of “well, maybe people like you shouldn’t be doing well”. Keep in mind this is an in-law. Implying that I should be doing worse. His kids play with my kids.
What in the holy fuck is wrong with these people?
BTW, later on in early 2025 in an extension of this conversation, he thought Elon’s DOGE would be “good” because it might “shake things up” in government. Well, lots of things can “shake things up” when it comes to a complicated system. Just randomly changing things tends to destroy them, not make them better.
But this guy is also barely literate and cannot really do basic math, either, so…shrug?
100% they will keep supporting this monster because he is just like them: Evil.
They’re fine with suffering, as long as someone they don’t like suffers more
