Society clamors for fair wages and to get them prices will go up because God forbid big corps accept a lower profit margins and people complain. People want the US and other countries to to do something about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine so long as it doesn’t make their lives to hard and when it does they complain. What is the point of this toon, that people are never satisfied unless the can bitch and complain about never being satisfied?
What alternate universe is this coming from? Yes, there is inflation, but over all wages are up, unemployment hasn’t been this low since 1969, and so many other indicators show that the economy is doing well. Sure, Putin’s war has sent fuel prices up, but adjusted for inflation, not as high as fuel prices caused by the initial impacts of W. Bush’s illegal gulf wars.
—) So … buwhahaha! Just as Vladimir planned it all. The man really is a savvy genius. Trump is even now packing for his own Triumphant Return: The Second Coming! (The Beast slouches toward Washington to be reborn …)
Ted won’t be happy until Trump is back in office. See, his thinking is that Democrats try to do good but often fail. He ignores the fact that Republicans strive to do evil and often succeed.
The U.S. has the lowest unemployment rate in our history, and a growing economy in the midst of tRump’s recession. Inflation and oil prices are up world-wide brought by the Saudis in February of 2021, yet economy is still the best in the world. Biden has reunited our NATO allies to be the most unified in it’s history, and other countries have joined in. The United States of America is back as leader of the New World Order.
It is kinda funny when a cartoonist has to get on here to defend his toon. But he gets likes from all the right wing nuts. I guess odd more than funny.
Something is a little off about the curtains. Seems to be breaking the “180 rule” perhaps. Or looking through a window or draped door and into the room with the table in the last frame. What ever it is its distracting.

People are pretty much the same everywhere. Including the people who prey on the others.

An overheating economy is an economy that is expanding at an unsustainable rate.
The two main signs of an overheating economy are rising rates of inflation and an unemployment rate that is below the normal rate for an economy.
Causes of an overheating economy range from external economic shocks to asset bubbles.

Sanctions first, arms sales second, reckless rhetoric third. Rinse, repeat. Negotiations? Eh, whatever.
