I see this all the time 😂
Them: My grocery bill is too high
Me: you know it’s because of inflation right?
Them: yeah the weather is really bad this year that’s why food price went up
Me: well, inflation is caused by the government printing more money
Them: no but the government is doing it for the wellbeing of the economy
For fucks sake 😑
It’s frustrating in a depressing way lmao like am I really surrounded by idiots?
Maybe it’s easier for them to believe the lie, then to accept they’re being lied to?
I thought that too but I feel like they just don’t understand what the fuck is actually going on. Like this is what’s going on in their brains.
😂😂😂
I think they get that something is off since it’s affecting their bottom line. But other than that, it’s a mystery
😂😂
I’ll give you another example. Someone said that trump is good for the country because he lowered taxes. He didn’t substantiate this claim and I honestly don’t know if trump actually did that but I told him that lowering taxes is irrelevant if you don’t reduce government spending. And I told him that more money was printed under orange man than any other president before (Biden may break that record). So effectively, we’ve lost more purchasing power and become poorer despite lower taxes. Then he said but that raises GDP so it’s good 🤦♂️
Always some dumb justification 😂😂😂
Totally agree with you this is stupidity 100%
