They keep spending more due to inflation and rising prices due to war and tariffs, yet they believe the Rapist when he tells them prices are coming down. It's really pathetic.

This is an important point. The wealthy have no understanding or frame of reference for what average wage-earners must do to survive. And they don't care because something happens to their brains that reduces empathy when they live this kind of life. As Communism was tested and failed, so too is Capitalism being stress tested now as the 1% own more than the bottom two thirds of the population. We shall soon find out the results of this test period. It will continue to be a bumpy ride.
