Democrats, your priorities seem a little off...

Feds dont raise interest rates because of capitalism. They raise rates because of inflation.

So we agree. Inflation is the cause of the food prices doubling and tripling and not capitalism.

No. Because the US Government is not capitalism. The US government is a Democratic Republic. The United States is a capitalist society.

Inflation is a complex thing, but a primary driver is an increase in public spending. Companies see people spending more money, and raise their prices to capture more of that increase in spending.

You know, corporate greed.

Inflation is being manipulated by the "Fed".

They want all that money back they printed.

Not that you would understand them

Oh, in that case, explain it to me as if I were a child. Take all the time you need.

Who prints the money? Investors or government?

"That first one is just capitalism."

That would be correct if you were talking about prices doubling or tripling over a long period of time. But the type of short term hyper inflation (you know, Joe Bribe-em style!) that we've endured under the Brandon administration, is far from normal for capitalism.

"Are you mad about capitalism?"

Mad as in angry? No. Mad as in 'crazy for'? Yes. But capitalism without freedom? Not interested. You have to have freedom as the basis for the form of govt because capitalism is supercharged by freedom.

Seems like you asked that just to get a triggered response. What's that called when people do that....? Oh well, not all that important. Sorry I couldn't oblige.

Why didn't you comment on the second panel?

Or the third? "crime rates skyrocket". That's just part of society, right? Nothing Joe Bribe-em can do about it. (<<<------ pls note the sarcasm)

So amazingly, your observation (for lack of being able to use more accurate words to describe it) only reinforces what the meme is saying. The left has their priorities all out of whack.

Instead of addressing all the other negative dem-caused problems pointed out by the meme, you attempted to deflect and mislead by asking that question. That's a tactic used by the left and definitely Joe Bribe-em. We both know it's called deflection.

But people are wise to it. When their wages don't keep up with Bidenflation, they know it. And they know it even if ol' Demented Joe keeps telling them things are getting better when they're not. He's pissing in our corn flakes and telling us it's raining milk. But not even dems believe him any more. That's how bad it's gotten. Because the good ol' dems, no matter how bad it may get, seem to get their collective panties all wadded up over statues. Priorities out of whack indeed.

As usual, the left just reacts without thinking through important issues like those pointed out in the meme. They react with child-like behavior; they destroy or deface statues, destroy buildings, etc. They're like little kids that want what they want and they want it now, and they don't care about anything else.

People who don’t pay for groceries or much else, think everything is fine.

And the crime rate hasn't skyrocketed. Literally going anywhere but OAN, FrankTV, or Fox would have delivered you some facts.

And do the cartels cause the overdoses? Or is it the people using the drugs?

It's not like they're innocent victims. They're choosing to use those drugs.

Well, that’s the argument lefties like you use to sue gun manufacturers, so you would have to say the cartels are responsible.

And, yeah, I don't want a Confederate statue hanging about on government or public land.

They were traitors to this country. They fought to keep enslaving other human beings. They belong in a dusty ass museum where we can take school kids to point and laugh at them.

Why didn't I comment about the 2nd one? There's only so many threads I wanna have to deal with. But, f**k it, let's answer you.

I suspect the creator would argue that inflation isn't temporary. Even though it is.

how is inflation temporary? Well, glad you asked. Let's say that a loaf of bread is $1. But over the course of 3 years, that price triples and now it's $3. Then it stops. It doesn't go up any further.

Was that inflation? Yes. I think we would agree that over the course of the 3 years the price triples, that's inflation.

Now, those who understand that inflation is temporary, would say that inflation stopped after 3 years because the price stopped going up.

Those who think that because the price of bread doesn't drop back to $1 that this means inflation isn't temporary.

But clearly inflation is temporary- the price stopped being inflated. And why would a capitalist company go back to previous prices when they've been successfully gouging customers for bread for 3 years? They wouldn't. And their stock holders would demand they keep the prices at $3 so they could keep making money.

You know, capitalism.
