Occasional-Cortex is playing "There is no inflation, it's propaganda from the capitolists!"

to try to take the heat off the .gov.  It's not going over well.
“Is AOC crazy?” Law said. “Has she been to a grocery store recently? $1,000 ain’t nothing no more. $100 ain’t nothing no more. Maybe she should spend some time in the projects and really help people.”

“And for her to act as if inflation being something other than the government’s fault? Well since I don’t have someone to pay for my $30,000 dress for a gala like she did, it’s much easier for me to see the truth.”
seem to be typical responses.

Of course, spending time in the projects would involve facing those nasty commoners and pretending to care, and actually doing something would require giving up on socialism, and she'll never do that.
