The economy is in a bad place, and it’s affecting people all over. When will President Joe Biden face it?
I walked around a higher end shopping outlet last week deep on Long Island. It’s the kind of place that upper middle class people go to get a discount on their patio furniture. I kept passing conversations of people astonished at the prices. These are not people who have been astonished at prices before.
They may not have noticed as the gas price ticked up a dollar a gallon and then three. Or when milk went up 20 percent. But they do when the prices at the outlet are what they expect them to be at the regular location.
No one feels sorry for the shopper shocked at the $13,000 couch at the Restoration Hardware outlet – nor should they. But if the price spikes have reached this set, they’ve reached so many other segments of society first.
It’s the same reason former White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki’s comment "the tragedy of the treadmill that's delayed," referring to the supply chain crisis, was so tone-deaf. It’s not just expensive couches. It’s not just treadmills. It’s food, clothing. It’s everything. We all know it.
The president, meanwhile, is tweeting through it.
So far, the president has blamed COVID-19, Vladimir Putin, "Republicans in Congress," and oil companies for the high price of gas. Now he’s on to retail gas stations.
If the president really believes individual gas stations can simply reduce their prices, we’re in more trouble than we thought. People on Twitter responded by tweeting to high-end brands like Lamborghini and Chanel urging them to also "bring down the price you are charging." So far, neither the gas stations nor luxury brands have done so.

All by design. The people responsible should be held accountable by distributing ALL their wealth to those with an income under $50k a year.
That would be real social justice.
I posted a meme yesterday with a bald-faced hornet nest (these hornets really hurt bad), and the saying “build back better is like a hornet piniata” or soemthing ,ike,that- was pretty funny and a good analogy of how bad he is for,this country.
Trump,was doing all kinds of great things for this country, and the left and their ilk absolutely hated him for it- Biden is screwing everything up badly, and they can’t get enough of him. Liberals are sick in the head.
It’s a flaming bag of crap..left on America’s porch..by some rich punk pranksters.
Still, “81 million” ignorant mail in balloteers are loving it.
The libs/commies are punishing us for choosing Trump over Hillary.
I like the “hornet piñata” analogy. 👍
The fundamental problem is continuing to believe that this is Biden’s work.
It’s denial.
This is intentional.
Went to a matinee with my wife and 2 grand daughters a few days ago. A matinee mind you with cheaper prices.
4 tickets, 1 soda (we shared) and 1 large popcorn (we shared).
SIXTY TWO DOLLARS.
I predict gas prices will come down into the 3 buck range, supply chains will open up and Biden will take credit claiming he said all along it will take time to recover from Trump’s economic poor decisions. And the media will love him for it and Democrats will run on that.

Lol me too. The photo,is in my posting history, i can’t post it now, but the photo,isn’t the best quality, but still appropriate for the metaphors.
Biden voters: “This is fine!”
True, they are also getting revenge for impeaching bill and for questioning Obamas eligibility, and even for Bush winning over al Gore in a close election. The ,eft never ever forget, and they are filled with hate and revenge, and will hound a person until. They get what they want, problem is though, they are never satisfied.
“hornet piniata” XD XD.
What if Trump was about to economically de-ball China and they fired the opening salvo in a new kind of warfare? What if they just changed the vote in a cyber attack, knowing that whatever the result of that the US would be greatly damaged?
What if we’re getting our clocks cleaned right now and don’t even know it?
Big, world changing events that once happened only once in 20 years seem to happen every week or so.
I read an article that said we are shipping our petroleum reserves over to China and dumping it into their strategic reserves. That action is beyond bizarre.
I woild go,do,far as to,say that action is treasonable. People here are really suffering because of high gas prices, and the admin keeps intentionally making it worse. He is hurt8ng Americans and taking food outmof the mouths of kids in poor families.
Not unless the price of oil drops to seventy dollars….big money is on 150 dollar oil
