Bad News Bears Become...

Deeper than light and air and all host of metaphors that are not enough for me right now. I am choking for want of a way to adequately express what I feel.

The tariffs are spiking inflation, and the job market is tanking as ordinary folks and working families struggle to survive. But the richest people continue to rake in profits.
