Say goodbye to the middle class. We just gave what was left of it to billionaires.
The "middle class" was just a scam our ruling class came up with to make us feel like we're not at the bottom rung of the social economic ladder so we wouldn't riot over being taken advantage of for decades. In reality there are only two classes the extremely rich and the poor.
In reality there are only two classes: the working class, and the ownership class.

unexpectedly
From the BBC? Wow!
I can mentally hear exactly why the inflation is rising in the voice of good ol' dear David Attenborough.
So, tarrifs have impact after all?
I buy steel products and the domestic prices are already increasing. Defeats the point of buying here vs importing. 🤷♀️

I wouldnt be surprised if foreign investors in US Bonds were dropping that shit like it was radioactive.
Just snuck up on everyone without warning! 🫣
"unexpected"
This US INFLATION 'increase' is about the smallest possible;
the headline is at best misleading and sensationalism at worst.
' UNEXPECTEDLY INCREASES' should say 'inched from 2.9% to 3%, which happens routinely at the beginning of every year'.
0.1% is the smallest unit it can go up by.
This is literally a nothing burger
I agree that it's probably a sensational article. No matter what the numbers actually are - it's too early to draw a line to Trumps policy decisions.
It's cherry picking, but I'll point out the 15% increase in the cost of eggs due to Avian flu. I mean, if we blamed Biden for inflation over the last several years then we can place this at Trump's door step surely?
In any case, I look forward to seeing the MAGA-splaining in the coming months.
Is it too early? Considering that a substantial portion of our imported goods originate from a country subject to a 10% tariff, wouldn’t this policy inevitably lead to significant price increases for those products?
"unexpectedly". yep nobody anywhere ever saw it coming. idjits
Unexpectedly? LMAO
