People are stretched. The increase in gas price and the subsequent inflation it’s going to cause for every other consumer good is going to put even more people over the edge. This is going to be a serious problem for the foreseeable future for many.

And yet, the cult members are still loyal instead of calling it out. “No new wars, America First, isolationism.” Since that campaign promise was broken, the voters don’t seem to care. Instead those voters are making every excuse in the book. So, they deserve the economy they have coming. Right?
