It might help things if he stopped slapping higher costs on everything.
These people are actively willing George Orwell’s nightmare into being.
The Ministry of Plenty’s forecast had estimated the output of boots for the quarter at one-hundred-and-forty-five million pairs. The actual output was given as sixty-two millions. Winston, however, in rewriting the forecast, marked the figure down to fifty-seven millions, so as to allow for the usual claim that the quota had been overfulfilled. In any case, sixty-two millions was no nearer the truth than fifty-seven millions, or than one-hundred-and-forty-five millions. Very likely no boots had been produced at all. Likelier still, nobody knew how many had been produced, much less cared. All one knew was that every quarter astronomical numbers of boots were produced on paper, while perhaps half the population went barefoot.
10 minutes ago my wife came home with about $400 worth of groceries.
A similar amount of food / paper products literally would have been closer to $250 this time last year.
Wow so you guys are set for the week then?
Trump says lots of things. Almost all of them are lies.
He’s been a known liar for almost my entire life, since the 80s. Taking his word as truth is just … mind boggling.
Inflation is substituted by price hikes on everything he slapped tariffs on. There’s no difference to the everyday person, prices keep going up.
I was in Costco the other day, and there were a shocking number of people loudly complaining about prices. Usually people in the store will keep it to themselves, or maybe grumble a bit and move on. But they were truly getting worked up.
GOP is really playing it stupidly. The number one way to get violently overthrown is to make it hard for people to put food on their plates.
Nahh, gop knows americans will never protest anything since they gotta be good little boys and girls and go work and not make any noise, no damaging anything nada.
Lets be honest, the closest thing you guys have in regards of protesting or holding anyone powerful accountable are mentally ill shooters.
On everything but an hour’s work, yeah.
Just because the shutdown leads to missing data does not mean nothing bad has happened.
I wonder how the final tally for the Trump “administration” will look like. It will probably take decades to fix what the orange turd and his cronies have broken.
By the time Trump is dead, you will be well past fixing things and into start over territory
That’s assuming someone else comes to power and actually tries to fix it. Both assumptions are pretty big at this point.
You know what is going to reduce inflation? Doubling the tariffs! Those magical tariffs applied indiscriminately on everything
Doubling tariffs today will make it look like deflation occurs harder when they drop the tariffs later.
A few people will show the data correcting for tariffs, but will be drowned out by the “we did it, prices have come down for Americans” message.
He took items from the top shelf and moved them to the middle, see, groceries are going down. Checkmate, libs
HE also said he couldnt bring down groceries, in late december Early januarary, peppridge farm remembers.
Being broke is good for the economy! 🫲🍊🫱
it’s not, broke people spend less
Inflation will not fall because cooperations are greedy. Whatever profits they make that can be passed onto go consumers will go to investors and ceos
Maybe I’ll end up living in a tent, fuck it
And you can afford that tent thanks to paying for it in 12 high interest payments!
/s
And we’ll have a new healthcare plan any day now
I mean, yeah. Even if inflation stopped, prices have already been jacked up so much relative to wages, that’s what happens.
and things have been shrinkflationed, and cheapflation as a result too. adding to the cost.
Everything needs to be cut in half.
I nominate Trump.
Double the numbers of billionaires!
