This meme makes it seem like the US inflation rate is the lowest among industrial nations, but it cherry picks the list to ignore all the other countries with lower rates. In reality, the US has a higher inflation rate than the majority of G20 nations.

▪️There’s an attempt now, among memes and the chattering class, to treat inflation like it’s a mysterious force of nature, spreading across the world like some sort of natural disaster, inevitably swallowing all countries in its wake. This is nonsense.
▪️Inflation is largely a global economic issue, but that’s because almost every government/central bank has been doing the same thing! Particularly since Covid, printing tons of money and artificially lowering interest rates in an attempt to stimulate their economies.
▪️Thus, it should be no mystery that inflation (everywhere and always a monetary phenomenon) exists after unprecedented global monetary interference. The fact that it exists nearly everywhere doesn’t change the root cause or absolve the leaders of blame.
Just incredible. After posting a meme blaming Charlie Kirk for his own murder, they post another a few hours later applauding Democrats for their civility.
Also, if you look at the Occupy Democrats timeline, their posts “denouncing political violence” were variations on “no one should be shot…BUT here’s a quote from Kirk showing he’s a terrible person.” Or sometimes they’d leave the first part out altogether and just attack him. There are no posts denouncing violence without qualifiers trying to gin up their base.
It’s really incredible they’re trying this approach after 4 years of posting “Ridin’ with Biden” memes.
It’s funny to see the left use the same conspiratorial rhetoric as the right did a year ago regarding the jobs numbers being downwardly revised. So many on the right, who knew nothing of how the jobs numbers are calculated or why they revise them, were convinced the downward revisions were a conspiracy to help Biden win.
If people want to have a debate about the birth death model or the survey methods, ok, but that’s not what’s happening here. Most people are under the delusion that the BLS report is the govt reporting every job created and lost, and are thus easily swayed it’s rigged when it suits their political ends.
