I am disgusted... [View all]

... by fools that "do their own research" sanctimoniously proclaiming that they won't vote for Harris because "INFLATION!" If they had done even the bare minimum of research that even a 3rd-grader could do in ten minutes, they would know that there isn't a goddamned thing ANY president can do directly to curb inflation. It is not a mythical beast that inflicts its malicious will on consumers whenever it feels like it; but it IS the malicious will of greedy, deceitful corporatists engaging in price-gouging, and flipping the bird at anyone who calls them out for it.
There are laws against it, but those who were supposedly elected to represent our interest, are too worried about the bribes – excuse me, "campaign contributions" – on which they all depend drying up if they were to actually do their fucking jobs and rein in the brazen depredations of "Big donors", or, to more accurately describe them, greedy corporatists.
And don't get me going on the supposed "journalists" that listen to this bullshit, but refuse to correct the fools that "do their own research".

Corporatism is the cancer that will destroy this country, and ultimately, the entire world. Goddamn them to Hell.

I need a glass of wine.
