Perhaps they need to brush up on their history to remember what the "low-income consumers" did to Marie Antoinette.

Among the more shocking and disturbing thing over the last two years has been the lack of empathy, many times venturing into callous disregard, of the laptop set towards the great unwashed who bore the brunt of the non-mitigating mitigations.

Without exception, everyone who has exhibited this in my personal orbit has been a Democrat and/or leftist.

Needless to say, my respect for this lot, never high to begin with, has descended into negative territory.

People who steal can always have enough.

As you often say, the best thing about free speech is listening to what people freely say outloud. The mask has certainly come off of the 'we care about the poor' in the last couple years. Now we blame inflation on poor people having money! It's really for your own good that you're broke, you see!

Instead of “let them eat cake” the new saying is “let them eat Taco Bell”

Time for more people to plant gardens either in their yards or in pots. It ain't gonna get any better for a long long time.

Wait until the real price of food hits. As this short video explains, calves and babies are just being born so the cost to raise them hasn't hit yet. When the prices catch up with the slaughter market in the fall (rendering of the animals), we could see $17/lb. chicken, $40-$50/lb. beef. Chipotle—and the rest of us—are going to be in a world of hurt.

I purchase most of my meat directly from farmers, and I'm hearing the same story over and over.

I just want to make extra sure: are you *positive* these aren't from Babylon Bee articles?

You can't expect elites to trouble themselves with the issues of the little people. They didn't miss a paycheck during covid. Sure they're paying a bit more for things now then they used to, but it's hardly noticeable and all this inflation talk is no concern of theirs.

So this is what it has come to; The arbiter of who has “enough” in the country made great by free enterprise and limitless potential is a lifelong bureaucrat who has never held a private sector job in her life while feeding at the trough of other people’s labors to the tune of nearly a half million dollars per year. Got it.

Keep it up, genius... Between this midwit and Mayor Pete's "they can just get electric cars," they're getting closer and closer to this generation's "let them eat cake."
