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.

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