    Inflation is currently at a reasonable level as compared to last year, but quality of life per dollar is still way the fuck down. The “economy” is good but that doesn’t help the average person on the street which is absolutely being felt more by younger folks with lower paying jobs.

    Issue number one is holding companies accountable. But even if that were to happen it’s not going to bring down the prices and let people afford to live between now and November.

    The time to fix this issue was two years ago when companies were crying about production costs and posting record profits. Instead people are waiting on wages at the bottom to rise to meet their new financial obligations and it’s just not happening for the rank and file American.
