r/antiwork demonstrate high levels of financial literacy

This is one of the big things that bugged me about the latest Last Week Tonight. Very little discussion of corporate greed leading to inflation beyond downplaying the issue and saying corporations have always been greedy. It's clear that companies found any excuse to raise prices and ran with those excuses.

It's not even just any excuse. Look at it from their perspective. They're making record profits and the response from America was to threaten to vote out the people who want more regulations and tax on big business and vote in the people who want the opposite. So I get to make record amounts of money, and you'll vote out the people I don't like because of it? Why wouldn't they?

It's the bullshit that corporate America is trying to feed. I keep preaching on as many forums as possible to not believe that the economy is bad. This spike is not new in our economy. Its happend before people. Go look at the job market report. Answer this question. When in history has the unemployment rate been this low and the country has falling into a recession?

EXACTLY. We're not heading towards a recession: we had such high highs after the crash happened in March 2020, and now that we're going back to "normal" and the economy is going back to numbers similar to before COVID (but iirc they're still higher!!), it feels like a recession. No, it's just a return to the norm, with the exception of gas prices and inflation. The economy itself is fine though.

If you ignore the bad things it's really not that bad

Inflation is just (((the capitalists))) raising prices FNR. It's not like goods from abroad get more expensive and the value of the Dollar fluctuates.

But the economy is good now because gas prices have dropped 50 cents after peaking at all time highs!
