Like clockwork, I knew this same thing was going to be parroted on here again. 2% lol. Executives of major grocery chains have admitted to price gouging. Not going to link them again. You clearly know how to use a computer and probably can google something without help. To pretend like price gouging isn’t happening is moronic. And to pretend like Trump can get them to lower prices and profits is even more moronic.

No doubt lots of things can raise prices. I’m speaking specifically to the price gouging that major grocery chain executives have admitted to. I guess you’re cool with that?
Also Trump campaigned that he would lower prices day one. But has already walked that back and said “once prices go up like this, it’s hard to lower them”. Gee I wonder why that is.
Never said anything disparaging or hateful about Trump regarding the attempts on his life.
Only thing I recall is hypothesizing that his rhetoric and election denial may have contributed towards unstable people feeling violence is the answer to our leadership choices. Basically the ballots vs bullets viewpoint that if you feel your vote doesn't matter then some may resort to violence.
Never said I advocated that.
Never said I wished any violence on him or anything close to that.
You're confused as hell like always.
lol found the guy who reads lefty headlines and has no understanding of business. No one admitted to price gouging.
Homan is going to be the Sheriff Grady Judd of the border.
You are sadly a troll who steps on a rake every single time he opens his yap. Do you know how to read? Seriously? Do you. Or do you hope that you can make up something to toss against the wall and hope it sticks.
Thanks Rump, Post election he says. Then links this to support his "headline":
The Dow plunged Wednesday on a disappointing outlook from the Federal Reserve. In the process, the blue-chip index extended its losing streak to 10 days — the longest such stretch since Gerald Ford was president.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day down about 1,123 points, or 2.6%, after the Fed indicated in a policy statement that it is forecasting just two interest rate cuts in 2025, not the previously projected four. The Fed now anticipates inflation will remain stubbornly above its target range for longer than it had initially expected.
Back to a previous discussion about your economic illiteracy...this is a perfect example. Stay in your lane babysitter.
Used to say essentially this very thing when Dion would go on about how much more “educated” he was than everyone else on here. I used to say there is such a thing as being “over-educated” which is what most of academia are today.
This may be the most "sheep response" ever.

Price "gouging" is a loaded term. It is inflammatory and apparently works with simpletons. First off, you are exaggerating greatly about a cherry-picked statement by a Kroger exec that they had raised the price of eggs and milk "above the inflation rate." Is there some law that you wish to quote stating that a business cannot raise a price on an item by more than the published inflation rate? Seriously? This is completely a red herring. So what. If Kroger raises its price on eggs and milk....then freaking go nextdoor to Walmart to get them. That is how a free market works. Is there anything else I need to explain to you?
And somehow Nancy Pelosi and her husband continue to outperform the market as they become megaMillionaires. Why does your party and its POTUS allow insider stock trading by its leaders?
Stalker 😂This may be the most "sheep response" ever.

when the deportations begin i can only imagine the number of injunctions and appeals that will be initiated. homan will be fought at every turn
Rob Schneider delivers "truth" to the Dems.

Sam....depends on inflation, and Jan 6th.

I did not know this... Would have hoped this was not true... Wow...
I deleted most of your outstanding post to focus on his farm policy. My dad is a now retired farmer, and when Carter imposed a grain embargo on the Soviet Union after their invasion of Afghanistan, it caused a major collapse in grain prices. This at a time of high inflation. It caused a lot of economic pain for farmers, our family included.
My dad never forgave Carter for that.
Oh yeah and gas went from the 30 to 75 cent range to the the $1.30- $1.40 range... Go figure how that happened... WITH rationing!...

It’s crazy how quickly the U.S., which was coined as a place of freedom, quickly grew government overreach.
Couldn’t have too much freedom. Had to create the income tax, had to create the surveillance state, had to get the IRS, had to get the government involved in every single aspect of your life. Genius idea.
While some of this had bipartisan support, the Democrat Party is overwhelmingly responsibly for all of this shit- the surveillance state and the progressive tax and welfare policies.
One could argue the New Deal was the initial cancer that killed this country.

Yeah, but colleges now grade on a large curve in order to keep people coming ($) and many of the studied subjects are useless and opinions based (social justice type) or not based in real facts. Follow the science lately means made up emotionally based findings that are not reality. It is more of a fictional world view of science and biology. Studies have now gone away from the traditional time proven facts and material to a new version of how I think it should be.
Someone needs to pop the bubble he/she lives in so he/she can get out more.

Assange may be you most quoted. Also, the subject of a lot of memes. Could Julian Assange live in Austin, Texas?
They all raised them in expectation of increased supply chain costs and scarcity. They knew those issues were supposed to come afterward. What they didn't do is pay their base suppliers any more than they had previously. So sales dropped and suppliers closed their doors (or were burned to the ground in many areas).
There is such a thing as price gouging, but it almost always coincides with a forced market shortage or monopoly on product availability. People buying up all the TPA so they can sell it online for 5 times the cost, is just one example.
Saw a couple people trying to buy 2-3 Kroger carts full of TP with either a food stamp or voucher program card back during the plandemic. Got into a shouting match with the staff and were going to try to walk out with it, until other customers spoke up. They wound up leaving without a single package of TP.
Guess I should have led with this last statement
That looked more like the D-League Dancers.
Carter was also the reason the rescue mission for the American hostages in Iran failed in disaster killing several US military men. He made a last-minute decision to change the location landing zone for the initial mission not giving enough time for the pilots and maintenance crews to prepare the birds for the new location. This according to a colonel I once talked to who was in the room when the decisions were being made. Presidents or politician should never get involved after the go ahead to rescue is approved. Just let the Generals do their jobs.
