    I mean, I’m paying attention, the Biden campaign team is paying attention, anybody reading this article is paying attention, and so are most democrats, and sane Republicans. Don’t know who is writing this crap, but they are the ones not paying attention. A lot of people are very alarmed by the current situation.

      You missed the insane Republicans. They are paying attention too. It’s just a selling point in their eyes.

      I think that we underestimate how wildly uninformed most people are. They think there’s no difference who is in the White House, and there’s a ton of Americans who think Biden is a horrible President. They think that because their spending power was greater under Trump, he can return to power and things will go back to the way they were.

      The bottom line is that people don’t understand what drives inflation, and even less understand that inflation has leveled off for a while now. Prices don’t just drop when the economy is doing as well as it is. The high cost of living is a pain in the ass, but man, will it get worse under Trump when he starts his trade wars and immigration restrictions
