This exactly, and the people making policy are so far out of touch that they don't even have a friend of a friend that's as impacted as we are by this insane inflation.
Worst thing is, we weren't getting cost of living increases before inflation went batshit.
I mean, they are out of touch, but don't believe for a second that they don't know what they're doing.
For example, why would a politican regulate the housing market and bolster tenants' rights when they and a bunch of their buddies are making bank?
