2. Media has been biased, and refuses showing how corporate greed is a big part of inflation,

May 2022

Big oil giants showing record profits from gouging consumers, along with many other corporations over charging for their products for larger profits , and now want to blame higher wages for the workers for it.

When the federal reserve wanted to raise interest rates to prevent a possible future runaway inflation, TFG more or less threaten them not to raise it , or the chairman could get fired, but the media says nothing about that, or shipping companies jacking up their rates astronomically. Mishandling of covid also helped disrupt business, and the economy, yet nothing said about that. Disruption of immigrant labor also has played a part in higher costs, and the trade wars that were started also cost consumers more.

Now we have rouge actions from people like Tx Gov Abbott's border stunt holding up products at the border causing billions in loss goods that we'll have to pay, but again little if any coverage. We also have a madman in russia starting a war based on his greed, and quest for power driving energy prices up.

Fascists put us in this situation, and are trying to project blame onto others , and media looks like they've sided with them at times.
