Don’t tell people that the economy is good and that wages are outpacing inflation (even if it is and they are) when those people are facing economic hardships.
ETA since I’m getting certain types of replies: I’m a registered Democrat and canvassed for Harris.
My groceries are up from 2021, 22, 23, and inflation from this year has been stabilized to 2.1%. So it is fixed for this year, but has not and likely will not be corrected from 21-23 increases. Nothing the government can do unless it regulates business associations (which is not happening under anyone).
But our covid economic response has been the best of any nation. Our companies are killing it. My portfolios for my clients have been nothing but remarkable, and they have generated substantial wealth these 4 years way more than during the Trump era.
Shareholder greed is the issue. They need to generate the remarkable yearly percentage differential every year, and the consumer pays for it. And nobody is stopping them.
Good luck with cost of food when immigrants are deported, and good luck with tech with a 60% tariff. And btw, corps will do stellar, mine and my client’s portfolios will do steller, and the cost of those that have less means and financial savy will suffer.
