      What? Leftists know there’s inflation.

      Did you do the thing where you call democrats and liberals leftists again?

      If you watch propaganda disseminated through billionaire think tanks and foundations I’m sure you see lots of made up bull shit like this.

        It’s because they don’t know the definition of the words they are using lol.

        It’s also just… obviously untrue. I haven’t heard anyone saying there is no inflation, that’s just nonsense.

        Good use of downvotes I’d say.

        Imagine thinking the “left” is ignoring inflation, when the “right” is the one creating it.

          This is the rights playbook. Do awful stuff, claim the other side is doing it, then flood media with fraudulent think tank studies and reports to muddy the waters.

          I’m not looking to defend the right, but I don’t think any political party is responsible for greed of businesses and individuals.

          My dad was lucky enough to buy a house many decades ago in an area that now is very wealthy. He explained how everyone and their mother was selling their houses in his neighborhood at the absolute bat shit insane prices that people were somehow buying at (like 1+ million for a previously 400k house) and that these people didn’t even know where to go. They were all moving into local apartment complexs to the point that the rents there hit over 6k/month. That’s not to even mention all the corporate purchases of property that drive prices even higher…

          It’s greed all around as usual… :(
