I'm tired of centrist claiming the econony is great and anyone claiming its not are stupid. grocery prices rose 28% in 5 years: https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/finance/price-of-food
Mcdonalds prices are up 40% in the same period. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/29/mcdonalds-cost-increases.html And they doubled over the last decade.
Wages growth did not keep up with the last decade, or the last 4 years. People are constantly losing ground and Biden/Harris's reply was that "they dont understand", because the "stock market was at an all time high."
Tone deaf and privelaged, and even after losing Biden/Harris and their allies still dont get it and wont self examine.
I've never claimed to be a centrist. Very far from it. Grocery prices went up, yes. Grocery prices are now going up at a normal rate. That's all I'm saying here and people are losing their minds.
You might try listening.
