- Phiwise_ 3y agoIt's good to hear that's what you wanted to do, but I think a case can be made that your comment does not read that way.
- worstspotgain 3y agoFair enough, in the struggle to avoid a WoT I implied some stuff. For clarification, insert the following paragraph after "The headline is what matters:" The headline incidentally fosters the view that inflation is still a major problem, which many people hold. It reinforces their gut feeling that it's been much higher than reported, and by extension, that the reported end of the wave is untrue. As inflation and the smell of conspiracy rise to top-of-mind, they ignite blame against the current administration. The truth is that the inflation wave is essentially gone, and that the administration cannot be blamed for it in the first place.
