People hate Comcast for raising their rate $10/month but when the government prints trillions causing you to lose 20% of your income and assets to inflation it’s not a big deal.

It’s easy to miss the connection between printing money and the affect of printing money since there is always a time period between cause and affect. The example of comcast raising hour bill is immediate. Well comparatively.

Eventually and hopefully people will wise up.

It is easy to miss because there is hardly any money printing going on. Physical cash is nowadays pretty insignificant.
