    I mean real wages have been increasing under Biden so he’s not 100% wrong about the whole economy thing, but either way that’s not relevant to my point.

    Lots of money is moving, it’s not good for the majority of us

    Because it’s moving to the top. The latest round of price gouging inflation is a special case and not representative of inflation at large.

      We used to take it back with taxes, now we don’t…

        I mean exactly. I’m not sure when in my replies you saw me say anything otherwise; you need strong and well-enforced taxation or the whole thing falls apart. That has no relation to the value of currency, which is a far more fundamental issue in a capitalist system.
