I haven't heard the interview myself, but there sounds like there's some truth to that. When did everyday Americans hear about inflation when listening to the radio? Probably around the same time they were listening to Duran Duran

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP What? No dude, managing inflation has always been a critical part of what the Fed does and it is constantly discussed...why do you think they have a target inflation rate they are trying to manage? Hmm?

This is elitist gaslighting, its bullshit. Wake up.
