Raising interest rates curbs inflation, but it hits working families hard. Why don’t we address record corporate profits too? #theproblem #jonstewart #inflation #workerwages #wealth #ceo #economy #interestrates #greed #corporategreed #pricegouging #johnstewart #appletv

Florida is a failed state.

It is the inflation hotspot of the United States while the national average has dropped to its lowest level in years.

Insurance companies are fleeing and consumers are being hit with skyrocketing costs.

Rent prices are through the roof.

There is a historic teacher shortage.

Doctors and nurses are leaving in droves.

Business are pulling massive development projects amid the state's attacks on the free market.

And that's before you even get into the attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, the banning of books, the censorship of American history, the war on reproductive rights and more.

When it's all said and done, Ron DeSantis may just go down as the single worst governor in history.

What economic plan?

If the economy is so great why are Gen Z & millennial borrowers falling 90 days behind on their car payments at rates last seen during the Great Recession era?

Total consumer debt continues to grow, it hit $17 trillion in the first quarter of 2023 per the Fed, the highest amount on record.

Earnings are down for the 26th consecutive month.

Americans have seen their wages decrease by 2.7% under Joe Biden.

Real wages in America during the Trump years were up 7.3%.

The Egg Industry routinely throws away male chicks as literal trash because they're deemed "useless." 🤯

Is this okay with you?

If the answer is no, then please stop buying #eggs. Hatcheries do this because of consumer demand. 💔

I spent the morning with dozens of seniors protesting outside a Toronto church that took millions of dollars in deposits for a condo project that didn’t get built. They’re out $40.000-$140,000 each. The church is still solvent but seniors didn’t get refunds. Story to come.

Amazon apparently wanted to make it harder to cancel Prime.

So they allegedly added a complex cancellation process to confuse consumers.

Now the FTC is suing Amazon for scamming millions.

Good.

This is what it looks like when government works on behalf of the people.
