What's Bidenflation and how does it work. ?

What they could do is double the price then in the next couple of weeks have a 40% or so sale off everything that they doubled in price.

I thought Trump was president during that period when nearly 1 million americans died, which was more than Vietnam & WWII.

> Once the pandemic wore out its interest level, slackers decided they wouldn't go back to work from their paid holiday and paychecks jumped, further adding to inflation. What took 8 years to be rid of (inflation induced by Vietnam, OPEC) and stayed away for 35 years was brought back by Biden in less than 2 years.

But you said sony has raised their price by 14%. I didn;t know that Biden controlled what the japanese company Sony charged for their camera.
I assumed that if sony has raised it's prices then the price in the UK will go up too and every other country in the word including the home japanese market.
So you're saying that Biden controls all prices through out the world ?
I know that some of the least inteligent people in the world happen to be Americans who identify themselves to the reast of us by wearing MAGA hats and T-shirts.

Doubt it I''d say MAGA, Antifa and BML are quite different can't imagine have all 3 T-shirts.
Oh and what of the proud boys I saw them marching with their american flags and they were all wearing masks.
Starge that considering dueing covid some claimed they couldn't breathe.

Although I haven't really heard many Antifa supporters interviewed, and the proud boys aren't proud enough to come out
and prefer to hide behind their masks.

>Or are those people really

I think it varies, but I am finding it interesting that the BLM is so low key after the
Tyre Nichols incident, I"m guess because it's OK for black police officers to kill a black man
and only racist if it's white police officers.

It's being blamed on "racism" and "white supremacy" anyway, or simply
dismissed because it "adds nothing to the debate" (all from recent
Leftist news articles).

Well there;s only one thing worse than a Leftist news article, and that's a right wing properganda article.

Apparently, it's "internalised racism" and a desire to please their
white masters...

I'd choose right wing propaganda over Leftism. At least the propaganda
is based in fact.

while his mates ransacked her apparetment, yep becaus of his desire to please his white master.

I haven't heard of that one. I'm thinking more along the lines of
Critical Race Theory and LGTV propaganda being designed to undermine
Western civilisation as a form of Cultural Marxism.
