Some quotes to remember from Corbin Trent (about the US Economy):
"Two full-time workers today have less purchasing power than a single worker did in 1950."
"Any politician promising affordability without a bold plan to shift power back to working people is full of shit."
"We need to reverse a 50-year transfer of $79 trillion from the bottom 90% to the top 1%"

@alu Lowering inflation? More like slowing the rate of the freefall! Let's not forget that inflation was around 2% when #Biden took office. Even a 'lowered' 4% devaluation per year is brutal, especially when real wages are down. There's a lot more to #Economics and #Inflation than catchy headlines. Do the math, folks. #RealWages #USD

CW: Greedflation & corporate profiteering in Oz (and beyond)
During my lifetime, the proportion of Australia's GDP claimed by corporate profits (i.e. largely going into the coffers of the #plutocrats) has doubled.
Here's an expert breaking down the numbers, demonstrating that we are not facing an #inflation crisis so much as an unparalleled moment of #CorporateProfiteering. Even just looking at the last three years, if wages had stayed at the same proportion of GDP, then the average Australian worker would be $5k/yr better off.
Put differently, corporations have ripped about $15k from the average Australian worker since the start of the pandemic.
"wage growth has now lagged consumer prices for seven consecutive quarters. This is also a record. As a result, #RealWages have fallen by 5% in the three years since December 2019."
That's the result of opportunistic profiteering, aided and abetted by largely captured regulators.
It doesn't stop till it is made to stop.
