    If you have to try and convince people that their lives have gotten better, their lives probably haven’t gotten that much better.

      Or maybe the modern social media landscape gives people a warped perception of reality

      So tired of see government bend over backwards for people and be this disrespected.

      They gave you 3k usd 3 years ago and you are still fucking driving up inflation. Just stop please.

        How do you know if my wages are up or not? I didn’t even mention my wages. You don’t know anything about my financial situation, as my comment didn’t make any mention of it.

    Is this where they are providing free CapEx to private enterprise without taking any equity stake?

    The same private enterprise price gouging us and suppressing our wages?

    So the only win is a shiti job for the guy who paid for the plant he is working for?

    What am I missing here?

      You got it!

      Maybe add: plant will charge consumers 20-40% additional for the product or service they provide, so line go up faster.

      Due to unchecked regulatory capture, we’ve somehow turned company towns into companies’ country.

    The problem is that the American people are stupid. They believe everything happens overnight and it’s all the President’s fault. It takes years to feel the impact of both positive and negative economic decisions.
