It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.

“Do you think the rate of inflation has risen or stayed the same since this time last year.”
People are correctly pointing out that inflation has made prices worse. The fact that the rate is down is little consolation when the rate has been very high and is still higher than for their salaries.
Translated into reality:
The economy is so bad we don’t even base our measurements of it on the assumption that it’s stable.
Someone posted an inflation graph on here the other day that showed the huuuuuuuge spike a year ago and the not-even-close-to-comparable dip that's happened since then. That question is absolutely a cherry picked piece of data.
I personally think that requiring ordinary people to understand differential calculus to parse the question is cool and normal.
Fortunately they don’t need calculus to recognize the state’s BS in this case
Liberals and being weasels, name a more iconic duo
Capitalists and being invasive pigs.
It’s the equivalent of raising the prices by 10% before having a “blow out sale” of 5%
More like raising prices 15% and then acting like it's a sale to only raise them an additional 4%
