Smh, this woman just says the dumbest **** sometimes. It is so weird also that whenever a black liberal rises to prominence, some black leftist start saying **** like this. Not hard to make out he is sneak dissing Adam Sewer here.

best succinct explanation of the inflation hysteria

 

[RustyShackleford]

Inflation is an issue, that needs to be addressed, it is hurting a lot of people, but that is mainly an issue for the Fed. They need to soft-land the economy and it is looking like it will be a difficult job

They probably need to end their stimulus early and start with small rate hikes. Start hitting the brakes early and slowly instead of having to slam them on next winter

But Biden has little to do with inflation. He can't solve the supply chain issues, he can't make OPEC bend to his will.

BBB is not gonna affect inflation in short-run (it will provide protection in the long run), then passing it won't make a damn difference

Outlets like CNN want a story so bad they need to paint it as an issue that only is addressed if Biden abandons his agenda. They have had Larry Summers on for a victory lap a couple of times, try to get him to say Biden should abandon BBB and he always says the opposite. And you can tell the host get frustrated because that's not the answer they wanted

Then they bring on another right-wing financial guy to fearmonger about how inflation will hit 10% unless we institute austerity measures.

People are completely ignorant about what drives inflation and how we can fight it. It is just more horse racing BS from outlets

Best case scenario, we got 6 months of this. Worse case 12 months. The best thing the media can do to help people is to convince them this is not a current state of affairs. Because if folk get convinced the other way, that's when things can start to spiral. At that point, self-induced inflation is the only option.

You’d think since the average Fox News viewer is about 75 years old, they’d easily get this reference to the opening of Fantasy Island.

Yeah, I don't believe they were ******* up.

Wouldn't be surprised if they were MAGA boys through and through, and it was just them deciding to use the full might of the US military indiscriminately.

Psaki dealing with these right wing idiots they way it’s supposed to be done as usual. Don’t entertain their nonsense, hit em with the facts, and keep it moving.

I have a co-worker who is part of that “group”, she joined because she doesn’t like that middle schools and high schools are teaching sex education, her child just turned 7. Her child is in the 2nd grade, where they don’t teach that. But she felt so offended for the middle school/high school student that she doesn’t have, she joined Moms for Liberty.
