Where have you people been all these years ?
To put it bluntly, a pair of orange balls were on their chins.

Oh, as any good lib will tell you, that's just coincidence. Either that or it's just your imagination.

I don't see that the right has denounced capitalism. But I see many left leaning posters chant "capitalism" now as if it's a good thing. They hated it before.

Answering my question with a finger pointed at "the right" is nothing more than deflection.

I think this is right. Biden hasn’t influenced gas prices yet. However if his comically disastrous ideas are ever implemented you ain’t seen nothing yet. On the bright side the high price of gasoline won’t seem so bad when you can’t afford your electricity bill, or even have power on a reliable basis.

The point is: right wingers are complaining about the inevitable results of capitalism. Why?

You're not going to win running on gas prices unless we get a late 70s situation. Creepy Joe ran on anti-fracking and still won the state. DJT only won TX by 5.
I was in PA lyesterday evening $3.26

And imagine those who must drive to get to their minimum wage jobs of $7.25/hr there!

Most people received a stimulus check during the Trump presidency and the Biden presidency.

The massive economic stimulus from the Federal Reserve started over a year ago to save the economy from a deflationary death spiral.

If you’re going to complain about money printing, blame both parties and the Federal Reserve.

Stop complaining and pull yourself up by your own boot straps.

Why are you looking for government to solve your problems?

Lazy people sure do like to complain about prices rather than work hard and make a good living like the rest of us. My truck gets 26mpg - that's much higher than any previous truck. I'm paying much less in gasoline than I ever have.
