Over the last 18 months, almost every single public official has shown both the ability and the will to blatantly lie to the public if they believe it is in our best interests to do so. They lied about 15 days. They lied about % vaccinated for herd immunity. They lied about masks.

So if this dipshit believes that it is in our best interests to think that this inflation isn't real or dangerous, wouldn't he lie to us? Isn't that what experts and public officials have been doing for the last 18 months and/or 100+ years?

I guess what I'm trying to say is this: after the last 18 months of systemic dishonesty from virtually every authority and organization in the world, the best way to convince me of something is to have an expert or official try to tell me the opposite.
