This is one of my favorite genres of journalism. See also: why is everyone so mad about the economy? Meanwhile, the economy: 3 chicken wings, a carrot, and a 1/2 lb of lentils is $37.
Seems the ultra rich are doing quit well in this economy by sticking it to the not-so-rich. It's not the economy, it's the money & power that controls the price of everything, including wages, but go ahead and vote for the billionaire guy who says he alone can fix things while planing to rule you with an iron fist. If systemic change is what you want start by running folks at the ground level elections - it takes about ten years to really change things..
I know you mean "planning to rule" but planing in the sense of flying by plane (their private jet) is also very fitting
Unfortunately, we are being ruled by people who insist on getting blood from a stone, and if the stone won't bleed obviously is the stone that is being too lazy to rapidly evolve having veins or any organic components at all
Seriously, we are also seeing record high inflation, used to 20 bucks could get me a bunch of drinks, a few microwavable meals to take to work, and some butter flavored Crisco to make my popcorn.
Now it might cover the butter flavored Crisco to make my popcorn and maybe one thing of drinks if it's on special offer. And that wasn't me comparing growing up to now, that's me comparing two years ago to now
