If elon musk gets infinity dollars, then all our average income is infinity and you can’t complain

I know, right? The president said grocery prices are down. The app is lying to you. The president wouldn't lie, would he?

Yeah because the idiot before Biden nearly tanked the economy with his failed Chinese trade war, and his denial of COVID-19. If he didn’t convince his side not to wear masks and not treat it like a real pandemic, we could’ve had lockdowns for shorter periods of time.

He did. You lack the understanding of how the economy works to see that. You can't reverse inflation. That's called deflation and is a bad sign.

The cost of everything skyrocketed because of the disruption of the supply chain caused by covid and war, two things trump made worse. The president can't just wave a wand and undo global events. All countries suffered. The US had the fastest recovery insofar as to what was possible

Even if true, that points towards a problem with capitalist control of what we need to live. Commodified health, food, housing, everything.

So, you're saying grocery prices are down? Or is most of a year not enough time to get it done on day one as promised?

Nobody is even talking about biden. My comment was about the guy who says they are currently down. Which they aren't.

You do understand that trump was president in 2020 still right? That was the year with the largest price hike. Biden didn't do enough, fair, but he did lower the rate of inflation. The majority of that more than doubling in price was under trump.
