Key Notes
diagnosis
Jiang joins immigration pressure to inflation and housing unaffordability, treating Canada as the stark case where immigration rises, housing supply stays flat, and young people lose the dream of owning a home.
diagnosis
Jiang argues that inflation, illegal immigration, and Ukraine aid damage Biden among Black and poorer voters by lowering living standards and making Biden look like a bad leader.
diagnosis

diagnosis
He critiques just-in-time supply chains as low resilience, arguing shortages can propagate rapidly into inflation and rationing behavior when multiple shocks hit.
