OPINION:
The news media conveys a distorted view of inflation’s harmful effects.
I live in Traverse City, Michigan, and I have seen many working- middle- and upper-class people spending a lot of money at local restaurants. I have seen just as many expensive cars as I have seen more affordable ones parked alongside them.
I have also seen a cross-section of shoppers at our grocery stores load their baskets with large amounts of unnecessary, expensive foods — and it seems to be done with a certain casualness, as if it were a natural routine.

Is this segment of the population truly being irreparably harmed by inflation or is it being spoon-fed mistruths in bits and pieces until the point of indoctrination?
Yes, millions of Americans work two jobs to feed and shelter their families, but the news media seems to exaggerate how difficult it is for the rest of society to afford their way of life.
