So how far are you going to move the goalposts in our conversation? This all started with "did they blame Biden for inflation". Yes, yes they did. That was all we were talking about. You moved it to something else. He at least was doing something.

I have no love for democrats so stop with the abused significant other crap.

At least Kamala wanted to change the tax structure for the wealthiest, but that wasnt good enough.

By the way, in that chart, you claim Kellogs is a monopoly. But they are only one of the ten, so....

I am amused that the that the headline reads "These 10 companies control everything you buy". Because I buy none of those products. But chances are the people we are talking about that ask why their cereal is so expensive do.

But here is where we probably agree: If Biden said "I am going to break up the top 10 companies to get competition (never mind that several are not US companies)" the investors, the banks, the newspapers that are ran by them, would all have articles and opinion pieces on how Biden is trying to be socialist and un-american. The people that didn't like him before REALLY wont like him now.

I don't think he would have, he knows where his political donations come from. We can all talk about how they really fucked up by not going far enough left. But to bring this back to the original conversation: even when he took some steps in the right direction, he never was going to get credit for it and their would always be something to complain about to make sure people didnt think about it too hard.

Goal posts haven't been moved. People blamed biden for inflation. We both agree on this.

You're the one insisting i defend their views. I have no interest in doing so. Ive given you some reasons you keep insisting they're invalid. Shrug thats a you problem. Personally I dont give a donkeys ass about what bankers and investors think. Have a good day.
