The real pain hasn’t started yet, but we’re seeing it in the numbers. Usually, what this means is that the people driving the federal government would be freaking out and trying to fix things. Trump decides to fire the guy who reports the bad numbers. This is analogous to not counting people who die of COVID (remember that?). In case you’re wondering, that doesn’t mean that people stopped dying of COVID. That only means that people in states like Texas did the same thing that they’re doing today with abortion care. By not counting it, they’re counting on you not knowing.
But we know. How? Because the grocery store bill keeps going up. This isn’t some weird illusion, but the truth. The more the bill goes up, the more people realize the disconnect between what they’re hearing and what they see or the pain they feel in their wallets.
