This election was lost due to economic problems. It is hard to comprehend that with all the issues Donald Trump has that he would win , but economy always wins over the other party. I just shake my head like so many.
I find it sad that so many in the USA are economically struggling, robbing Peter to pay Paul. Trump stated that he will stop inflation, but never about lowering costs. Inflation rates have already stopped. The capitalists raised prices to recover lost profits from covid, except they raised them drastically and too quickly, creating a domino effect of everyone raising their prices.
I recall a recession in the past similar; all we can do is wait for working wages to catch up with the rate of inflation. In other words, the cavalry is not coming, and either get a second job or ask your boss for a $500-a-month raise, or think before purchasing. I recall this movie during his last term, and to me the reruns look no better.
I am having a minimalist Christmas and shopping local, as I don’t think there is going to be a big miracle to the economy. I figure also stick it to the capitalists the way they have stuck it to us the last four years.
