Weekly Reminder: The economy is great, inflation is fake and gas is cheap.

It's a good jobs report. The Fed isn't looking for a totally gangbusters report because of worries of a resurgence of inflation pressure.

You guys keep trying to spin this as a disaster, though. Don't let me stop you.

That’s capitalism, baby!

That’s Turdenomics. Pal

Small business bankruptcy is up 41% through September

Chapter 11 filings by businesses soar 61% so far this year, report finds

More small businesses and consumers also turned to bankruptcy in the first nine months of 2023, per Epiq and the American Bankruptcy Institute.

The addition of 1.5M businesses per year and to only have an addition 2,500 fail is a success story. Percentages only tell part of the story.

Inflation was and is a global phenomenon. We are doing much better than our peer countries.

That other countries are mired in inflation isn't something to be happy about. It means socialist government policies don't work.

An example of a current government that has no inflation and is “working”, then?

Inflation under the Biden administration was the highest it's been in 50 years, and the Democrat parrot line is that it's completely normal.

REEEEEEE
Bidenomics is working

So what? It’s coming under control now. That’s like me saying capitalism under Trump didn’t work because he had the most job losses in a presidency in the 21st century. Things bounced back.

So people who aren't toe the line left wingers care about that kind of thing. Just so you know.

Can you name a purely capitalist country?

Most people in America care about inflation and it's going to be tough breaking through the noise of right wing media and scaremonger Tik Tok that inflation is coming under control. Everyone is so hysterical these days.

No, because a professional basketball game with no referees would be stupid and counterproductive. All our peers have mixed economies and there's a damn good reason for it.

Under control? Just because they change the way its calculated to make it look better and just because it's not rising at insane rates anymore doesn't mean we're still not up almost 20% from just three years ago...it's not "under control" until we have some level of correction.

By all accounts a soft landing is underway. There’s no guarantee it’ll continue but things are moving in the right direction.

And a reason why they have high inflation. And when did pure capitalism mean no regulation?
