Janet Yellen says American "splurging" is the reason for high inflation.

Oh, it's our fault now, Janet? Talk about gaslighting in extremis.

FOX News: Janet Yellen blames Americans' 'splurging' for record-high inflation.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen blamed consumers' excessive spending habits as a primary cause for the near 40-year-high in inflation on Wednesday.

The Biden official appeared on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," where she was asked about the price increases that have plagued the U.S. for more than a year.

Yellen argued the administration managed the COVID-19 pandemic so well that consumers felt comfortable to "splurge" on goods.

Instead, people spent more money on "grills," "technology" and office equipment as they were working from home.

"They were in their homes for a year or more, they wanted to buy grills and office furniture, they were working from home, they suddenly started splurging on goods, buying technology," she claimed, which led to supply chain "bottlenecks."

Later in the interview, Yellen also blamed Russia for the increase in food and gas prices.

Fucking Bloooooger. If it wasn't free they should pay users who use their platform. 

But how does it know I am a robot?

Study shows 90% of Government workers could lose their jobs to Robots

Workers in the UK could see their jobs replaced by robots.

Even nurses and doctors could fall victim to the march of the machines, which the report says can outperform humans at some diagnoses and routine surgical procedures...

Nurses and doctors being replaced by robots?  Kinda scary.

But Government Civil Servants being replaced by robots?

What I want to know is if the robots replacing the civil servants will have the same, warm "people-person" demeanor we usually encounter with people whose jobs are paid by the taxpayer.
