Since happiness is a part of the political process, this blog does have an overlap and application. Happiness is, after all, what motivates most to vote.
I feel the need to address one thing being repeated by the right, because I cannot tolerate hypocrisy or bullshit. In a very real way, the right's leaders are saying, "Why did you let me screw you?" I will explain with logic and facts beyond dispute.
First, we need to be specific and detailed... not broad strokes of assumptions. It is not bad for everyone. The rich have literally never been so rich. Why? They didn't suffer like the rest of us. They got government bailouts, which enabled them to set higher prices without being sensitive to the lower incomes of customers. Housing values rose, and real estate investments paid off big. Slum lords like Sean Hannity from Foxnews cashed in on the backs of poor people. Let's also not miss that those businesses that was propped up and raised prices also didn't raise wages as fast as prices .. if at all. And, minimum wage has still not been raised since 2009. The government didn't raise your prices, like Trump wants to do with his new tax. Private businesses did... you know the free market the right champions.
So, who would raise minimum wage or control companies taking advantage of a pandemic to steal more of the money of struggling people? The House of Representatives is where all financial bills must start in Congress. Who is in charge of the House? Republicans. But, rather than helping the poor, they cut food stamps and other poverty aid programs and wants to cut more.
That's the facts. You can ignore them and repeat assumptions Harris is responsible for your greedy boss, but it would be dishonest. Even when she proposed going after those businesses to lower costs, who objected... Republicans. Your prices will not go down under them. They are not even proposing to try.
