    20.4% price increases for the energy sector as a whole. 74% Y/Y price increase for heating oil! 0.1% wage gains (= real wage losses)! What a bloodbath of a report! I’m kind of surprised that the administration didn’t try to hold it another month.

    Republican voters have showed us time and time again that they don’t care.

    The party of family values, law and order, small government, fiscal responsibility… It’s all clearly complete bullshit, and yet they still fervently support it.

    Reality means nothing to them as long as they’ll have their narrative.

      It will become the biggest issue of the century the millisecond they no longer control all branches of government.

          I think they meant that suddenly, Republicans will be up in arms about everything they themselves didn’t correct when they had absolute power. It’s the other guys’ fault to them.

      People of class only call him sleepy Joe. His power is beyond human comprehension, even after being asleep at the wheel for four years he still controls the economy and moves the economy inflation and employment rates, a huge feat if it wasn’t for the fact Republicans control all chambers and the executive for over two years.

      Yeah I can already see it, everything that is wrong, yeah its the Dems fault. We really really want to fix it, but those damned Dems are blocking everything.

      I would not be surprised shit goes to absolute hell by the end of the year with the AI bubble popping and we get another terrible Republican president because of the timing with the election now.
