  1. Every country raised their interest Rates😂🤣😂🤣 Ant Farm work more and more that's the reality

  2. The Fed is going to cause a Economic Crisis. There is no Inflation! Its Supply and Demand! Fix the Supply Chain! Stop fighting an issue that doesn't exist

  3. A %0.75 interest rate won’t work on a %8.5 inflation.

  4. But what I don't understand why they send billions to others countries if we are struggling and people suffering it's not fear for us the people

  5. VOTE…..VOTE VOTE AND STOP THE CHEATING!!!!!!!!!!!!

  6. The markets are crashing. And, we are moving towards a world of Hyperinflation. Should you worry?

  7. RECESSION YOUR DESERVE WITH PRINTING MONEY

  8. Buy ZIM stock now. The Longshoremen's labor contract is expiring soon and the ports will slow to a crawl. ZIM ships will sit for weeks collecting tons and tons of money as they wait to be offloaded. This will send ZIM stock into the 90's and by mid Summer into the 100's. SEMPER FI

  9. So did you vote for Biden? so then S T F U

  10. A better world is coming! 😀😀 Jehovah God's Kingdom ruled by Christ Jesus will solve all global problems and restore paradise to the earth! Matt 6:9,10 War in Ukraine fulfilling bible prophecy

  11. Joe Biden fails every single day in office we literally told you the prices would go up still learn or hear nothing but what they tell you to think

  12. The price of gas will go down in America if American gas executives and their families were targeted by MAGAT Fox TV/Facebook followers.

    44 Americans are shot by other Americans each day so who would notice?

  13. It is due the Biden administration

  14. Corporate greed is not the problem it is the Democrat Communist and the communist federal reserve.

  15. Raise interest rates I don't car, I carry ZERO debt.
    I don't WASTE money on a lot of crap many people do.
    I gave two bills a month phone/internet and Elec.
    $125.75 this month. Phone/internet is under $50.
    Propane is $45. every other month. Up from $40.
    Ooooh I'm so hurt.
    Price of gas is still $20. for a trip to town and back regardless. 4 or 5 gallons makes no difference. So raise the interest rate to 10%.
    Those Payday Loans people take like what? 48%?
    Don't waste money in bars and restaurants. Don't buy gov. taxed buds, grow your own.

  16. She needs to diet anyway

  17. The nine most terrifying words in the English language are hi I’m from the government and I’m here to help – Ronald regan

  18. With the pandemic, all of those stimulus that people got plus the businesses during Trump and then Biden last year, what did you expected? Free money eventually means inflation is somewhere near and lurking and now it is here. Happy times means tough times ahead.

  19. The rate hike will not solve any problem except to drive the economy into a recession sooner rather than later. This inflation is Covid driven. The reason we have this inflation is because the stupid CDC and the Biden Administration told people in May 2021 to shred the masks to prolong the pandemic. When you prolong the pandemic, you're going to destroy all the supply chains. When supply chains are broken, the produced goods cannot get to the consumers. At the same time, Biden sent out a lot of stimulus checks to flood the economy with money. When there is a lot of money chasing very few goods, it means inflation. Biden must step down. We need new leadership to solve all the problems.

  20. I'm a leftist from Canada and sleeping Joe Biden economy is killing everybody

  21. Yeah and last year when everyone was saying oh no it's transitory it's just because of covid and I was telling you all that it's not going to be temporary that it's going to become a major problem all the trolls didn't believe me. They told me I was wrong. Now it is apparent that it is because of poor policies and it's only going to get worse. So not only are your food prices going up but now your auto loans and home loans are too. A lot of this has to do with the Biden energy policies that are also adding to these pressures. Go ahead tell me I'm wrong some more.

  22. I don't know who needs to hear this but stop depending on the GOVT. and saving all your money, Invest some of it if you want financial freedom.

  23. Raise your prices,go ahead. Then I'll stop buying!!
