11. Here's the problem

The fact that mainstream media won't touch "the wealthy are fleecing the working class" with a ten foot pole, and considering that RW Hate Radio has convinced millions of complete nonsense, the average American somehow thinks that General Mills had to raise prices 20% across the board(after posting their largest profit ever) because we sent missiles to Ukraine or because the Feds allocated grant money for "green" projects throughout the States. There has to be direct pushback against that narrative, which has been completely lacking. It leads people like me to conclude that nobody, even Democrats like Joe, aren't going to call out the wealthy entitled class as the main problem in America.
