  • I’m more surprised at how quickly the Lemmings got emotional about this than I am offended. Also that’s kind of reductive to say I’m just repeating and doubling down. I’m trying to explain myself. I guess I should just acquiesce to the Lemmy masses or not comment at all, because that’s how we foster a community.

    Thanks for the somewhat reasonable comment, I guess.

    Except that wage growth, from what I’m seeing, has kept up with inflation. If you find me numbers to say otherwise, I’ll believe you. Until then you’re just stating how you and others feel. My point this whole time is that the feeling doesn’t match up with the numbers.

    I get that companies have been price gouging, I get that Democrats needed to push for more policies that make people feel better economically, or at least say dumb lies that make people feel better like Trump does.

    I assumed I could have a discussion on Lemmy about the very clear difference between two words without getting attacked for it, but I guess not.

    I also don’t agree that the word inflation has colloquially changed meaning, I think people just are not aware that inflation is normal now. They look at the current prices due to the period of previous inflation and are angry about it.
