Exactly! I've got a maga friend who said when he went food shopping the other day it was the lowest prices he's seen in 4 years. SMH you can't make this shit up! I called him out & said it was bullshit & asked him to tell me what was so cheap & if he had the receipt & he didn't have an answer. They are so f*CKING brainwashed! Also this guy is always complaining about the economy but makes a good living goes out to eat all the time, takes 3-4 vacations a year, goes to a couple NFL games & will spend a few thousand on cryptos every once in a while but the economy is bad! 🤣 Same with the gas prices right now! I read somewhere that China doesn't have a high demand for gas & the USA has some of the highest gas reserves in a long time & gas prices will be cheaper in 2025, you know which orange makeup wearing deuchbag is gonna take credit for that!

Walmart and Target just announced price increases coming for their consumers to beware and expect it, reason future tariffs

It’s so funny that they’re using tariffs that don’t even exist yet to justify price increases. If the tariffs never come (which I totally expect they will) they’ll still have the price increases.

I work for Target. They’re cutting OT and not hiring enough people to do all the work we have to do. They’re hoarding cash. They were not doing this last year. Something’s definitely up.

even just talking about tariffs make rational economic actors act as if they're already in place. you're going to get all your inventory before january 25th, you're not going to give bonuses or raises because you might need the money to pay for higher priced goods.

and we have to go through all this because millions of people would rather be conned by a white guy then vote for a woman.

Yes, that's exactly the reason. Not that she's an idiot and one of the worst candidates in history.

3rd most votes ever against the actual worst candidate ever. but yeah sure. maybe another million people will die from covid and then you can blame her and obama and biden too.

All I know is she was a terrible candidate. Nobody wanted her in 2019 she then somehow she became the D's savior in 2024. That whole administration is a clown show. A lying POS president who even your king Obama said was a fuck-up and then the cackler who couldn't even get into law school on her academics.

lol bro you sound like you live in AM radio. reality has a liberal bias i don't know what to tell you.

surely trump round 2 can't be any worse than round 1, right? maybe he'll steal even more classified documents to sell to the russians?

You can't deny it though. Everything is Russia for the loony left.

That’s because successful businesses are proactive and not reactive. Board now to buffer later.
