i know I’m not exactly spittin deep theory but i think statements like this are interesting because rather than being ridiculous and out of touch, it’s actually factual, in the sense its a tacit admission that our politicians in the us are so deep in the pockets of the rich that the rest of us don’t even enter their calculus; their definitions for “inflation” and “the economy” count the proletariat as resources to be extracted rather than beneficiaries of any economic outcome

If there’s nobody to participate in the economy then prices don’t exist and that’s the most efficient economy

Yeah, it’s a classical move actually.
