What are YOU doing about it? Not Biden – YOU: the person reading this comment.
I can tell you my overall cost of living since 2020 has plummeted, not because I haven’t faced inflation like everyone else, but because I stopped spending on most extra things. For example: not eating out anymore, cancelled all streaming subscriptions, flexed what I eat based upon coupons and deals at the grocery store (still healthy), I drive much less, etc…
If you keep buying stuff when prices go up, this keeps demand high and, therefore, prices high.
Edit: So far people are saying they are doing nothing different… just continuing to blame corporations. It’s both greedy corporations and people’s fault. If the costs for basic goods and shelter go up, why wouldn’t you adjust?

I spent thousands on Black Friday sales to have a good Christmas as a family for the first time in what, four years?
So I guess you can say I’m doing my part to stimulate the economy.
Also I dunno about you, but I think my wife would get depressed if I told her there was no more eating out.
