Affordability......The New Dem Talking-Point

[AZrailwhale]

If people want to go back to 9 percent inflation, they'll keep lying about the vaccines, and we'll see a pandemic level of COVID infections and deaths. Because inflation was under 3 percent when Biden left. It was 9 percent for a very short time.

Wrong. Covid is no worse now than influenza. It was bad for a few months because it was a virgin field epidemic with no treatment. Now treatments are common. The vaccines did little or nothing for most people.

Uganda was made a shit hole by British occupation. Red states are by Republican ideas.

The British ruled African countries were pretty nice places, at least by third world standards. The British kept inter-tribal violence under control, established good medical care and kept the typical African vice of corruption under control. When the British left, all the countries went to hell, countries that used to feed most of the continent can’t feed their own people, let alone anyone else. Colonialism under the British was benign, they were smart enough to not kill the golden goose.

Your boys launched, spread and shutdown (Covid) to help steal 2020 you feral black hog.

Now, now, let’s refrain from calling IM2 names. We need to keep a certain level of civility if people aren’t going to get banned right, left and center.

My rent increased $104/month a year ago.
$108/month increase now. Highway robbery.
Social Security increase > $31/month.

You should have kept your house. You whine about rent increases regularly. The rest of us are tired of it.

Rhodesia and South Afrika would like a word.

Rhodesia and South Afrika would like a word.

After the British left they went to hell

Also Pakistan. Hong Kong is now part of China. Myanmar is a brutal dictatorship. How is Palestine doing?

 

[AZrailwhale]

Rhodesia and South Afrika would like a word.

When the British ruled them, they were the breadbasket of Africa, now they are hellholes that can't feed their populations and are run by criminals that attack both blacks and whites. The Afrikaners weren't good people and ran thigs to benefit only whites, but they weren't British.

Raising wages across the board will help things.

Raising wages across the board will help things.

No, raising wages across the board just fuels inflation. Too much money chasing too few goods.

Hogwash. So you are going to tell me some laborer who gets a $10 per hour raise causes inflation? If thats the case there is NO hope for most people. NO HOPE

One person making ten more bucks an hour, no, but ten or twenty million people making an additional ten bucks an hour certainly and emphatically yes. That is the classic definition of inflation. “ too much money chasing too few goods’. If you were not an economic illiterate you would know that.

When the line shift workers start making $50K then the $75K manager wants $100K. Then the directors demand a raise too.

Cost of labor goes up, they raise the cost of product sold.

You didn't say ONE LABORER, ignorant moron. You said raise wages ACROSS THE BOARD. That is 159M people or approx. 50% of the entire US population---That IS INFLATIONARY, no matter how many times you repeat the lie that it isn't.

The real inflation in housing was caused by that corrupt fed chairman refusing to lower interest rates, and Bye-Dumb jacking up the price of building materials.

Might have been partially that, but the big one was Bi-dingbat opening up the border, creating the invasion, & millions of illegal aliens flooded into cities and saturating the housing markets. Vacancies disappeared, & rents skyrocketed.

 

[protectionist]

You should have kept your house. You whine about rent increases regularly. The rest of us are tired of it.

You don't need to be here. Plenty of other threads to go to.

So you come here to a thread which is about 10-15% inflation (esp. housing rents) + a 2.8% COLA increase, and you ignore that specific topic, and start talking about houses, and whatever else you feel like talking about.

I'm tired of you coming around where not wanted or needed.

Guess which states have the highest cost of living.

The more affordable states are Red States.

Democrats constantly raise taxes and slam consumers with regulations in their cities and states.....and now they're screaming that it's all Trump's fault.

Wherever Democrats are running things.....the cost of living goes up.

Nashville made the mistake of electing a Democrat mayor and he promptly raised property-taxes 30% as soon as he got into office.

So what you are saying is that there is no hope, nothing to look gorward to as a laborer. Some life huh? Thats the little secret that we never tell people. The 159 million people arent ever going to get ahead but somehow someone called it a dream?

Poorz should suffer in silence. Its clearly all their fault.
