After I saw this segment where Bill Maher minimized the impact of inflation on Americans so he could rationalize having a positive view of Joe Biden, I knew I had to write about this.
I’ve received a lot of positive feedback about this article, which I greatly appreciate. If you have the time, give it a read:

I don’t understand why Bill Maher thinks that it is funny to make light of people financial struggles. I mean seriously, there is nothing humorous about $7 bottle of cooking oil, $50+ to fill your tank, $2K to rent a tiny apartment. It’s all bourgeois signals to the elite, “look at me I’m so above that, I can make fun of the little people. I don’t really thinking anyone is laughing in a haha way, but a bwa haha way (evil and arrogant)
This brings to mind a conversation I had back in the early 80's with a wealthy man in his late 30's when I was a young adult on low wages. I had recently purchased a very modest car and he couldn't understand why I didn't just buy a BMW instead. I said I couldn't afford one and he said the payment would only be $100 more/month. He could not comprehend the extra $100 was impossible for me. Every time I look at the beef prices and all the other food prices (and gas, rent, etc.), I don't know how low income people are eating. Maher is clueless about the cost of living. I will never allow myself to be lectured about cost of living or CO2 by anyone that flies around in a private jet. I have nothing against the wealthy and personally know one in particular that I will listen to, but that one isn't Maher.
