They keep raising prices, stating that it’s due to inflation, but then they keep having record profits.

Meanwhile, the average American can barely afford rent or food nowadays.

What are we to do? Vote? I have been but that doesn’t seem to do much since I’m just voting for a representative that makes the actual decisions.

    That’s the correct long term answer. But you might also add that there are forces that actively fight against this kind of prpgress, so in addition to what you’ve written, I’ll add educate yourself and others, and don’t fall to the cultural war paradigm the’re creating to distract us.

          Boy, you’d think it be easier to recruit revolutionaries in an unhinged lefty commietopia echochamber, as people keep assuring me Lemmy is.
