#Restaurants bloggers live in a bubble, it shows particularly in this #stagflation (#recession + #inflation), where they keep saying things like, "Not only are the ambience & food great, it doesn't wreck your wallet either: you can get a meal for two at merely 49$ per person!" (+15% tip, +15% tax) 🤌
…while I make myself fairly high-quality (and definitely healthier) meals for 5$ worth of ingredients.
Sure, I lose 200$ worth of my time doing so, but hey, I've always been terrible at math 😉
What President #Biden should be doing is reversing #Reaganomics. Unfortunately he's treating the current (according to the media, anyway) #LaborShortage, which I regard as a feature, as an antifeature, and is instructing the Fed to extinguish this rare burst of opportunity. #Reagan confronted the real problem of "#stagflation" (#inflation and #unemployment together) by very firmly prioritizing inflation fighting over unemployment fighting, and I will NEVER forgive him for that. Ever since the Bill "government is the problem" #Clinton wing took over the #DemocraticParty the working class has no allies in Washington (except the #progressive "rump" faction of the Democratic caucuses). But I'm optimistic for the future. 1932 to 1980 was 48 years. I figure we're in for a good strong #PendulumSwing by #2028, and I'm here for it!
