COVID disrupted production, or more so many companies expected decreased demand so they adjusted production down but work from home actually caused an excess demand and the market couldn’t adjust. That was true for some goods, not all. Companies noticed that despite the higher prices on disrupted goods, demand didn’t drop, so they used inflation as an excuse to raise prices across the board.
This post attacks Democrats for not fighting back and makes voting feel hopeless or inadequate. The reality is you aren’t elevating someone who is fighting back. Don’t waste effort demoralizing voters, instead point at a message, person or action that you consider fighting back and push it, be the change you want to see. Otherwise this just amounts to voter suppression because every person that sees this and doesn’t vote in November because they feel it is pointless is one less vote the fascists need to take power. The donor class, the media aren’t going to do it for you because they are the ones that elevate Democrats that don’t fight back.
