    Plain old fashion price gouging being rebranded as “greedflation” (which is dumb word in and of itself) was truly a key example of liberalism controlling language to obfuscate reality.

      “greedflation” is a silly word but doesn’t it still put the responsibility for inflation on greedy companies instead of the arcane vicissitudes of the market? gouging is more pointed language but i think they’re generally saying the same thing
