"FIRST COMES FOOD, THEN COMES MORALITY"

is a famous quote from B.Brecht's "The Threepenny Opera".
J. Carville put it more bluntly:
"It's the economy, stupid!"

When I am starving, then food is my priority and, if necessary, I give a shit on free speech or if Trump is an autocrat.
Yes, I got it!

Inflation is an inherent feature of a free market capitalist economy. Business owners can determine prices for goods and services as they want. The government, through the Federal Reserve, has very limited, only indirect influence on consumer prices.

But Congress could increase the minimum wage, for example. Senator Sanders tried but could not find a majority.

The most effective way to handle inflation is to go on strike for higher wages and salaries. Boeing workers just finished successfully a strike for a 38% increase.

An inflation-protest vote for Trump is like trying to drive out the devil with Beelzebub!

Trump is part of corporate US and therefore inflation will rather increase than decrease.

On November 5, 2024, the "greatest country on earth" became the greatest tragedy:
A majority of the US electorate voted for a presidential candidate who not only wants to destroy democracy, but who is exactly the wrong guy to address inflation!

Bumpy road ahead!
