Hold on… It seems as if this meme is trying to paint a picture as if the $15/hr people pushed for was somehow part of the cause of inflation, and that is simply false. As that article states, many companies are even offering more than $15/hr. These are some of the same companies that fought against $15/hr, and are now offering even more than $15/hr because nobody wants to sling their burgers anymore. The pandemic caused massive shortages in factories because many of our goods are made in China, Vietnam, ect. If someone even sneezes in those countries the factories shut down, causing halts to production. Supply goes down, demand remains the same, prices go up. On top of this, some companies are effecting access to already shorted supplies because of their own interests. For instance, Apple has pre-paid space on every plane out of China, limiting already limited space.  
 

I’d argue the most important argument that could be pulled from this article is that people should re-evaluate their consumption of unnecessary goods. A re-evaluation of the work-life relationship seems to have already happened during the lockdowns, now it’s time for these same people to re-evaluate their consumerism.

Point is spot on, but I'd argue that technically Trump was Economically left, but further down towards libertarian of Biden. Anyone remember when he wanted to dump yuuuuuge pandemic checks, and the only politician that supported it was Bernie?

 

TLDR: Trump was a filthy Commie

One of the more surprising aspects of his Presidency was the proposed pandemic checks honestly, ha.
