Target didnt open in israel because they didn’t want to tempt Hamas into doing something funny
They’re not smaller you’re just not 14 anymore
They literally are smaller, though, everything is getting smaller as prices rise and it’s happening in grocery stores too
Shrinkflation is real but I’ve been eating this specific garbage for decades and they’re the same size, just way more expensive
Biden ameria is what Happened… the rise in food pri ces, the defunding of police, the unemployment, sending our taxes to fund Hunter’s war against Putin in Ukraine… it’s all apart of The communist agenda.
People are clowning on you because of the naive electoralism and because you come from a instance but you’re not completely wrong. You just need to go a step further and realize that what the system is doing now is what it was designed to do. Working within it is not going to get you anywhere. Also the guy you’re replying to is joking.

That’s the key thing with all well meaning lib arguements. They believe their system is broken, when in fact its working perfectly and it was never their system to begin with
Get a load of this lib.
Congress functions to serve the owner class and has for its entire existence. It started out serving, exclusively, white land-owning men as part of a slave nation.
It will not do anything else, ever. It is baked in and will only stop doing so when the owner class itself is subjugated, something that will only happen via revolution. It would be nice if that wasn’t necessary and the ruling class could just let their power get voted out, but we don’t have the luxury of such fantasies.
These people complain about inflation when the real problem is low/stagnant real wages.
I think people in the US have been conditioned to expect low inflation forever, because inflation was concentrated on assets and large expenditures like Health, Education, Housing and so on. It’s cultural inertia, really. Down here we are 30 years removed from a hyperinflation crisis, so even media discourse considers wether or not the minimal wage rises above or according to inflation. We also have all the problems you have, like shrinkflation and lowering quality of foodstuffs. And arguably ours are worse. But the discourse of ‘what happened, I used to be able to buy a penny’ is never done with the implication that inflation itself is simply wrong for existing.
You might be overthinking it. Most people call any increase in price “inflation” and leave it at that.
What I’m saying is that the way americans talk about inflation feels dramatic and sheltered. If I didn’t know any better I’d think americans simply have 0 inflation, but I know it’s confined to costs of living which the government doesn’t subsidize. Ie, anything but cars and gas. It’s all very
Wage growth is totally dogshit but that’s been true for 30 years. This inflation stuff really is fucking crazy. You can barely walk out of a grocery store for less than $60. Everything has gone up damn near 50% in the last two years between prices going up and pirti9ns of literally everything going down.
Enshitificiation really is in full swing.
