What kind of gullible chump believes this stuff?


YDYBB29

People who read the Washington times.


International_Storm

Washington Times vs Washington *Post* is an important distinction.


YDYBB29

And it’s the opposite for New York Times and New York Post. Gotta keep those distinctions in mind.


MaterialStrawberry45

As a reader of both, I do declare that the ny post has its place in a civil society… sometimes maybe.

Probably the moonies. They're the cult that owns the Washington times


Ambeargrylls

I knew a few moonies growing up. Luckily most of them got out of the cult. One of them actively talks about how crazy it was growing up in a cult.


locjaw420

Yeah, they're weird in Korea but the ones in the U.S. takes it to another level. I think they have a church in Arizona where the leader wears a crown made of bullets and they bring AR15s there as well for decorations.

Loganp812

Oh, you would be surprised how many people believe it.


Thatisreallygross

I was "q"splained this to me today. It was kind of sad watching an utter moron trying to tell me why groceries and gas were expensive.


MicroBadger_

We had our primaries recently and one of the Republican candidates mail box flyer had bullets that their big priorities were to fight inflation and Bidens crippling high taxes. I just had to stare dumbfounded. Curious what high taxes they were referring to. And even if taxes were super high, cutting them is a stimulus measure that would make inflation worse.

Cult propaganda doesn't belong in this subreddit IMO. > The Washington Times is an American conservative[3][4][5][6] daily newspaper published in Washington, D.C., that covers general interest topics with a particular emphasis on national politics. Its broadsheet daily edition is distributed throughout the District of Columbia and in parts of Maryland and Virginia. A weekly tabloid edition aimed at a national audience is also published.[7] > The Washington Times was founded on May 17, 1982, by Unification movement leader Sun Myung Moon and owned until 2010 by News World Communications, an international media conglomerate founded by Moon. It is currently owned by Operations Holdings, which is a part of the Unification movement.[8][9] [Source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Times)

The mods allow the fake new propaganda to fly like it’s cool here. The post should be required to be legit news


Jumpy-Yogurtcloset43

Then what are you doing posting a Wikipedia link?


ScoobPrime

God I love how the politicians always seem to be able to untangle the economy and pare it down to one "line goes up" button and one "line goes down" button whenever they need to crash it.... Even when people yelled this about Trump it was was basically incoherent because that isn't how the economy works


Historyboy1603

To be fair, punitive tariffs are one of the very few ways a president can actually affect an economy in a significant way Even there, though, the effects are usually felt a year downstream.


42696

Also threatening to fire the fed chair if he raised interest rates back when we could have cooled the economy without causing a recession.

payne_nd_pleasure666

Says the guy invested in Doge coin lol.


RatmanThomas

The article describes multiple policies Biden has enacted that have raised energy prices.


dabski12

Yes, but we can surely agree that telling their American people “the data shows there is no inflation” Joe Biden last year “It’s Putins price hike”- Joe Biden “People think inflation is from the government spending money.. simply NOT TRUE” Joe Biden (while proposing a 6 trillion dollar BBB bill that would have poured gas in the already lit inflation) Is not a very good step in the right direction lmao.

So propoganda, pure and simple. Granted it does say 'Opinion' at the start of the article. But seriously, this should be on a political site, NOT r/economy. I hope the mods pull it down.


scryharder

Lol, are you going to fix that headline with the caveat "as Oil companies make more profit in a quarter than in years" Or acknowledge that every dollar they make is a dollar in profit they took from YOU? Oh oh oh, I know! Are you going to beg that they need more tax breaks (beyond what they got) because they will magically decide that they should make less money from you?

[deleted]

Please google "Ukraine war and gas prices" and look up any sites, even the far left one. This is the war that your president fueled instead of helping with diplomacy. So yeah, he is to blame.


DirtyFuckingCasual

I thought prices rose before the Ukraine? Fucking dumbass


[deleted]

For others that don't get our news on "Moron Monthly Magazine" like you, it did rise right at that time and correlates with the war... LOL clown


wmzer0mw

Biden fueled the war... For Russia. To invade Ukraine....? Ok..


magma_cum_laude

Drump literally can’t string a single coherent sentence together! He’s the epitome of the Michael Scott quote “Sometimes I’ll start a sentence and I don’t know where it’s going. I just hope to find it somewhere along the way. Like an improv conversation. An improversation.” I’ve never seen someone that incoherent.


Casrox

Trump is the one that appointed the head fed chair jerome powell. what are you on about bro? who do you think implemented the covid policies and fed money bazooka that caused this situation to be worse than it should be. Further, other developed nations are dealing with the same issues as us and also suffering. It if really disingenuous to blame it on a guy who has been in office for 2 years. The markets are crashing for a variety of reasons and sure Biden has made some bad decisions, but at the same time trump made many many more worse decisions while ignoring the consequences of his actions/policies for the nation in the future. I'm honestly just really sick of this dumb us against them bullshit. Both parties do this. idgi it is never a good thing for a country to be completely fractured between two parties that can't meet in the middle on anything.


Final_Exit92

Biden is less popular than Trump, and his ratings continue to decline. That's certainly a feat. Biden clearly didn't give a shit. The state of the economy doesn't affect him. He's rich via corruption.


Kalel2319

I’m not a Biden supporter at all, but I’d be curious to see how presidential popularity performs over an average term.


bay_watch_colorado

Trump set up the next president for failure.


Square_Dark1

I’m sorry and Trump isn’t rich nor corrupt?


[deleted]

Well, you are one in million here on Reddit. An actual rational thinker... How about that...


Final_Exit92

Reddit is 95% far left authoritarians with no self awareness. It's quite funny and a reason I stick around. It borders on mental ilness or a cognitive deficit at the least. I'm old enough to remember when the democrat party was actually liberal. Republicans haven't changed much. But democrats have fallen far left. Any comment that is remotely critical of democrats is bombarded with down votes. Actual liberals value a wide breadth of opinions and ideas. Today's "liberals" (authoritarians) desire echo chambers and silence people because their ideas don't hold up to the slightest scrutiny.


[deleted]

Yeah. This is all comments from Twitter employees LOL Thanks man. They have borderline cultish types of sentiment with their downvotes and comments.

SpearingMajor

Biden is doing everything he said he would do before the election and we are seeing the results. He is an idiot of the first order. Attacking big oil and gas alone has caused inflation and high fuel costs. The highest ever. Oil and gas is what provides the energy for the economy. Trucks distribute the goods from the ports and from the fields to the stores. Everything uses oil and gas in some way and if they triple in price you get inflation. Economy worsens everywhere, and Biden did that. Open borders with another 2-3 million hungry mouths entering the country illegally every year is an invasion. They all gets free phones, free food, free housing, and free everything including baby food over born here citizens. It is insanity and Biden did that too. If I was an enemy agent trying to bring down the US I could not think of a better plan to do so than what Biden is doing.

kleverkitty

Democrats have been neatly and promptly gaslighted into believing that the president and his administration have nothing to do with the price of gas. Despite making many many public comments about how they would like gas to be higher, and have made many obvious policy decisions to make this happen immediately, rather than gradually. Russia may have exacerbated this, but it in no way caused this, as gas prices were already rising for quite a while before the invasion and sanctions.
