NBC’s Memoli: Biden Team Has Given Up on Trying ‘to Fix the Inflation Problem’ and Is Trying to Argue Style

Ian Hanchett 31 May 2024

On Friday’s edition of NBC’s “MTP Now,” NBC News White House Correspondent Mike Memoli stated that “the Biden team has seemed to concede that there’s nothing they’re going to be able to do to fix the inflation problem” and are trying to reframe things to a “stylistic” argument.

Memoli said, “Every single demographic, every poll shows the number one issue, cost of living, inflation. And the Biden team has seemed to concede that there’s nothing they’re going to be able to do to fix the inflation problem. So, they’re trying to make this a whose side are you on, who are you fighting for question. The president may have some economic announcements to make over the course of the rest of the year to try to say, we’re bringing costs down, we’re trying to forgive student loans to put more money in your pocket. But the real contrast they’re really hoping to seize on this trial, to the extent that they are, is he is only worried about his own interests, his own — whether he’s free or not, convicted or not, and the president is fighting for people, including the middle class where he grew up [in]. So, they’re trying to make it a stylistic, whose side are you on argument.”

Rant about cable internet pricing and speed.
I got a noticed that my Spectrum internet bill was to go from $54.99 to $89.99... !
The promotional pricing and gov't discount was over.

I did a chat today and the lady cut my bill to $84.99 and lowered my speed from 570mbps to 371mbps and disconnected the chat when she disconnected my modem to reboot it....
The price should go down a lot and not way UP!

This is like cell phone companies charging for texting when voice is using more bandwidth. It cost them nothing. For cable the copper and fiber optics cable is in place and they have lots of bandwidth.

I did another chat and they could do nothing.
I called and I asked what is the lowest speed and they said the lowest speed is 100mbps and would cost a total of $59.99 a month.

So I went from 570mbps to 100mbps.....
This is plenty to stream shows on Roku as they will show sometimes the streaming speed which is just 4mbps <- 4

The internet is fast. I get 117mbps at the Speedtest.net site and the webpages now load much quicker then when I had the higher speed. I tried many sites and they instantly appear. I use Firefox. I know now to call them to reset my modem on their end as when I do it no change happens.
I bet they deliberately slow the loading of websites to "encourage" you to upgrade to a higher priced speed plan which you do not need. They did keep trying to up sell me.

They have promotional pricing of 300 Mbps Internet.
$49.99 /mo for 12 mos with Auto Pay

BUT that is for new customers only and not the reliable steady customer.
They take advantage of those customers.
Cable owners must like being hated 😠🤬

If you have a backup plan, often telling them you want to close your account over pricing they'll offer you the new customer discount to keep you.

Every year SiriusXM ups my wife's satellite car radio subscription by about triple the new customer cost and she calls and cancels her account and during the cancelation process near the end they connect her with someone that offers her a year subscription at about 1/3 the normal yearly price. She accepts and it goes another year. She's done that repeatedly...
