Driving back from airport and the obligatory “gas is crazy” talk after passing $4.49 sign.
He said it’s crazy because the costs haven’t gone up for the gas companies, they’re just making more money. I told him oil has gone up from a low of under $10 a barrel under Trump to over $100 under Biden…”well, I’ll have to look that up”. I pulled the USOIL forex chart up on my phone and told him to scroll through that. He was shocked.
Crazy how it is possible people have no idea. Should be an interesting week.
My FIL had to explain to his college educated, 40-year-old, Biden voting daughter what inflation was because she doesn't understand why things keep getting more expensive. When my husband, her brother, spoke to her on the phone the other day she asked him, "do you know what inflation is???" like it's some new discovery or something. Hopefully she's learning? Who knows how much these liberals truly piece together before they go back to their scheduled programming session designed to correct wrong-think.
"do you know what inflation is???" Wow
Man there is so much still to be done
That’s wild. What’s her degree?
Even before college, we got brief explanations of normal, organic inflation: “one guy asks for a pay raise, and to cover it, his company starts charging more for their goods. To cover the rising cost of goods, other people also ask for pay raises and soon just about everyone in the economy is dealing with higher dollar amounts for roughly the same value as before.”
The Bidenflation explanation might actually be simpler: The Fed expands the money supply through quantitative easing and “stimulus” policies, while the commie politicians pass big spending bills that don’t really go to the proposed activity. Instead the money goes to crony corporations and investment banks who then use the easy money to compete for real estate and stocks with normal people who had to earn their money. The cronies bid up asset prices and then normal people have to raise other prices to try to keep up.
She has a master's in biomedical science. Yeah, I thought anyone who finished high school would know what inflation is, guess I was wrong.
Everyone is so brainwashed. I don’t know how but we need to figure out how to hold the msm accountable, while still holding onto freedom of speech.
Another good chart is corn
It's more than doubled spot market price
I don't get how people don't know these things, you type the stock or commodity and you have 5 plus years of data in seconds
how can normies know what's happening when the kartrashians are the news!
God bless you and GOOD LUCK! Seriously. What you did may have just become the chink in the armor and what ultimately wakes them up. My gosh. His excuse - is unbelievable. But then, I recently spoke to some guys who'd never heard of ivermectin and another couple who are big Trump supporters who'd never heard of mules. So there you go. That's why talking is so important. We can't assume that everybody already knows this stuff. I hope you week goes well. God be with you.
Oh shit, That would be a week of hell for me. I wish you the best.
Good approach. Handle it gently, with individual issues that don't seem all that political. Also, educate the Fox News crowd, the people who voted for Trump but still don't seem to have a clue. Send them to 2000 Mules, for instance.
It is our job to gradually, carefully inform the normies. Remember that many people just go about their normal lives. Don't fault them for that. Many of us didn't pay attention at some point.
