You forgot the panel where they get people to blame it on raising minimum wage, through confirmation bias.

It never fails to surprise me that that is how 'yacht' is spelt.
It's a shame it's naught spelt yaught.
"Aren't people going to see through that?"
Haven't they?
Some people? Sure.
Most people? No.
I'm starting to feel like more and more of these comics here are just political opinions not even intented to be entertaining.
"This is Joe Brandon's fault, and trump will fix it. I'm an idiot!"
- an idiot
I like what this idiot says. Is there some way I can blindly support them to rule the world like an idiot?
- another idiot
If people pay for the higher prices then it doesn’t matter. The general public would need to boycott or literally not be able to afford the prices of the good. Unfortunately, we all are very poorly disciplined in that regard, myself included.
Oh yes. Boycott eating.
Haha sarcasm I presume. Boycotting certain restaurants or goods would be effective. I myself get take out more than I should or need to.
Unfortunately not sarcasm. When grocery stores are colluding to raise prices, what can you do?
Fair. Essential items have gone up in price. There are other items that aren’t necessary that could be boycotted.
I just steal it.
That’s the spirit! Isn’t that what we pay taxes for?
literally not be able to afford the prices of the good.
some of us are already here, and we're about to get a lot of company.
Unfortunately, that’s what it’s gonna take. I’m seeing it slightly in the automobile industry.
Especially if shops like Tesco as much as double your prices without loyalty cards. Tesco is the worst, haven't been there for months (as a customer).
Tesco Clubcard, Kaufland Card, Billa Bonus club, Lidl Plus (app required), Coop Jednota Club.
There is no alternative. Supermarket chains killed most small shops. Oh, and you may still need an app to manage it even if you have a plastic card.
They're going to elect an authoritarian as president, surely that will bring down prices!
If I've learned anything from plastic signs on the side of the road, it's "Trump low prices. Kamala high prices."
It’s been coming doing for years, but much like Trump took credit for Obama’s economy, he will take credit for this too. And 50% of the country will learn the wrong lesson.
"He's got that totally awesome plan called Tarrifs™ that is supposed to make rainbows and sunshine come pouring out of my ass and we'll all be happy again!"
....oh.... Wait....
Search trends are not useful for population studies. For example, did you even bother comparing the search trends you presented to other election years?
It was just meant to be a joke not some serious documentation of information meant to be spread as absolute fact. We're in a comics group at the moment lol
Yeah, questions about vot8ng will always spike after an election, not having numbers makes that increase meaningless. There was another image comparing these trends to people searching for tailor swift, which was like 8 times higher than these trends in any point of the curve. So high that the increase of this question was even hard to see.
I hate people that manipulate data presentation to twist results.
But look at that giant mountain in the graph! Its beautiful! Like the rockies or...another mountain I definitely know the name of! Uhhh Bahamas! I think thats one...
Anyways I like pretty graph!
Ok, but that doesn't really narrow it down. Who should we be focused on?
You.
Better watch out 👀
::gestures widely::
I don't think you quite grasp the meaning of the word "focus"...
Unrealistic, Sir would be all about it
