Washington Post columnist Michelle Singletary told MSNBC’s Chris Jansing Reports on Wednesday that many Americans “don’t suffer” from inflation as much as they think.
He urged them to “calm down”.
Jensing said: “Well, you’re talking about people living on a salary, and there’s a new survey by Politico Morning Consult that I think is pretty revealing. 38 percent of Americans prefer a recession to the inflation we’re facing.”
Singletary said, “You know, I just want to say. I don’t care if I get banned for this. Many Americans are uncomfortable spending more, but they can’t be screwed. You know, when so many people can literally eat twice instead of three because of the inflation rate, you should stop complaining. there are Americans who have proven themselves well in two years. You still have a job. And yes, you will still spend gas, but guess what, you’ll still be on vacation on July 4. You can even eat out. So I want you to calm down and back off. Feed the fear and decide donors create exactly what they fear. And you are in this category, calm down, stop looking at your portfolio. Do you know what you can do with this energy? Help people, put food on the table in someone else’s house, because you have a lot.
He continued, “Now, the other half of America is all we can do to help them get the jobs they need to put that food on the table, these are the people we need to focus on. If they react by saying they’re scared, I get it. But in general, many Americans are as bitter as they think. ‘
Singleter added: “You know, you see, I have three teenagers in this world trying to do that, so here I am. I came from a situation where I knew what true hunger meant. It’s not hunger when you open the fridge with food and say nothing to eat. I feel both sides. I try to calm down and help other people understand what you can do and what you can do to keep saving. If you don’t have to drive, don’t drive. If you can procrastinate a project, procrastinate. But if you can dine at a restaurant, even if the meal is slightly larger, you dine at that restaurant and help save a business that is still limping due to the pandemic.
