So if prices double in two years and then the present administration slows down the rate of increase to 3% more per year that is a good thing? LMAO 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Your tether to reality is loose again. Prices haven't doubled. Maybe not across the board, but on certain goods they absolutely have. Besides, his original question was a supposition to illustrate how a marginal reduction of a high rate is still nothing to be happy about. He never claimed that prices of all goods doubled in the past two years.

He didn't say "certain goods", and, in case you didn't notice, I didn't respond to his original question. I was responding to his poorly constructed hypothetical with reality. I know, I know, shocking!
But make no mistake: The reduction in inflation is a good thing, no matter if you wish to spin it as "marginal reduction of a high rate" or not.
Please try to keep up. Thanks.

So if Biden is responsible for the surge in inflation at the beginning of his term, is he also responsible for the current reduction in inflation to under 3%? OK sure, but his average is still abysmal compared to Trump's. And that's why everything costs 20-25% more than it did before Biden/Harris. But you think you have bragging material with the 3% snapshot?

That's only because you're naive enough to believe that a president is primarily responsible for inflation during his term...just as Nuevo's trap question intended.
He wasn't bragging. He was baiting your simplistic view of a complex topic.

He was baiting your simplistic view of a complex topic. You really think you are more intelligent than others. You are a narcissist. Go ahead and chuckle at my comment in denial. You come across as extremely narcissistic.

Gets under your skin, doesn't it? Good.
Ask Nuevo if you don't believe my take on the topic.
Throttle isn't going to like his answer and more than you will.

Kenneth,
Thank you very much for your response and sharing your heartfelt concern. With hope that you will find the news calming, let me assure you that I did not miss any words.
Like we have discussed, it can be very upsetting to make mistakes and be corrected over and over and over and over and over again. Five syllable words, like hypothetical, can be hard to understand and make things even worse! They are large words often with simple meanings, and we will talk more about them next time you are in class.
In the meantime, try not to worry too much about it -- punctuation is far more pressing.
Attentively yours, Mr. R.

Who can even remember who was president when all that pandemic stuff started? Has it magically disappeared yet? D'oh! From the guy who still believes the hoax and scam. 😂
