May 12

was asked what could be done about inflation outpacing consumers' income growth---like a good tRump repuglykan, he responded that Americans just need to figure out "how to earn more". It's as if he thought people could just snap their fingers and juice up their paychecks with no trouble at all. The guy was a poster-child for "out of touch 1-percenter." I was so disgusted with him, and the network for airing it, that I turned it off wanting to throw something through the screen and smash his smugly face.
