Not so fun facts:

  • Food prices arent going down
  • Inflation isnt going down either
  • The price of everything will skyrocket (Biden will be blamed)
  • Wages will remain stagnant in the absolute best case scenario (they will likley go down)
  • In order to "reduce" the effects of the above regulations on products will rapidly disappear. Because of that the quality of food will decrease, houses will be made on a lower safety standard, and workplaces will became unsafe. Deregulation will cause a mass explosion in profit, none of it will be seen by the workers.
  • The wealthiest will be made extremely wealthy (similar to the gilded age)
  • Women, POC, Queer people, disabled people, poor people, and multiple other types of people will suffer

In the next four years the intelligence and strength of American workers will be tested. Do you fall in line or do you break your chains?

Inflation is already down, drastically and has been consistently so for over a year.

[–] Free_Opinions@feddit.uk 14 points 6 days ago (6 children)

Just want to note here that inflation going down doesn't mean the prices will drop. It only means they stop increasing or the increase slows down. For prices to go down we'd need to be experiencing deflation which is incredibly bad for the economy.

The only thing that would cause deflation is innovation or reduced demand, and there’s not a lot of innovation in food, and everyone but anorexics seem determined to eat.
