No, the ones that are going to be hit the hardest re the lower middle class and the ones struggling to live pay check to pay check. You're a damn fool if you think otherwise.....
Other than the cost of housing, energy cost are the one of the biggest things people face. DO you think those grocery shelves magically stock themselves? Or the items at your local department store are delivered by the clothes fairy? No, they need to be trucked in, and when the cost of fuel goes up, the cost of delivering those goods go up. And when they go up, the cost must be passed on to the consumer, that's you, me and everybody else in this country. So, I hope you like this inflation brought on by the incompetence of the Biden administration. We'll all suffer from this disaster that the liberal snowflakes brought on us by voting this idiot in, all 81 million of them (if there were really that many, I don't know how many dead people voted). People deserve better than what is happening right now, and if we continue down this road we are currently on, there will be a great depression the likes of which that was never seen before. When you're living on the streets Mike, maybe, just maybe you'll see the error of your ways. I hate to see that happen to you but it just might take something like that to happen to you for you to finally see the truth about the way things work. This is not some utopia where everything is all peaches and cream, this is the real world, and maybe, just maybe, if you take your head out of your [BLEEP] long enough, you'll see the truth.

It was the Fed and all the stimulus checks that brought inflation. Neither of those are exclusively a Biden thing. I would argue the Fed did more with 0% interest and propoing up the stock market. That combined with our crummy 'just in time' supply line and oil traders doing thier usual shenanigans trying to increase demand is part too. Yes I think Biden contributed with his anti-fossil fuel admin, but I think its fair to acknowledge that prices were gonna increase whether he was elected or not.
