Inflation

Went shopping yesterday. Twice overheard discount store personnel saying to customers that management was raising prices in anticipation of tariffs. Two different stores and conversations.
I'm going to enjoy reading the poasts of the girls who complained about 2.6% inflation (or "Hyperinflation!!!" in TugConspeak) as the weeks and months go by.

lol yeah the dollar general staff have a direct line to corporate pricing strategy team
Trump will never have 2.5% inflation on top of 9%.
Also laughing at you for shopping at discount stores.
Store staff are too ignorant to respond to customer comments, according to LoneStar.
Kind of an elitist view.
Well, I went to the store yesterday and they had these sale items like they were competing for my business with other stores. I think this is known as competition for the consumer's dollars. But if our mythical MBA is getting marketing strategy from Walmart greeters then I guess I'd have to defer. Geezus.
I don't overpay. That's why I'm rich.
All inflation Daddy has will be on top of the inflation we've already had throughout all history. It's almost like you don't understand arithmetic, much less the economy.
Someone will have the last laugh. Spoiler alert: it'll be me.
Embarrassing.
His own 9%.
Biden kept the Trump tarrifs
Big belly laughs
Inflation was at an annualized rate of 9% for an instant in 2022 and rapidly declined thereafter as supply chain/pent-up demand issues dissipated. It was never as high as 9% in any year and you girls mostly cried because inflation stubbornly stayed above 3% for several months. Then you cried as it gradually declined to 2.4%, which is considerably lower than the average rate of inflation over the past 120 years. Now it has SKYROCKETED to 2.6%.
The next four years aren't going to be kind to you rubes.
lol, an instant.
one month
Biden’s economy was a bloodbath. The proles agreed evidently.
It's like the dazzler has gone to his discount store for the first time since January 2020 and then paid no attention to what things actually cost in November of 2024. Sort of like the dem candidate that the cabal ran for president in 2024 and adapted the dazzler's approach to inflation - just lie about it. Gasoline, electricity, food, clothing, housing things only the little people are concerned about. If there is a problem it's Kroger's 1.5% profit margin that needs to be confiscated. Things only an mythical MBA knows.
I'm not accusing the American voter of excess intelligence. But the numbers aren't going to lie. This economy has been the envy of the world and has been especially propped up by the American consumer.
It wasn't successful because of Biden and Presidents don't deserve much credit for the strength of the American economy. However, politicians can fuck the economy up. I'll enjoy watching you rationalize why the next few years will look worse by every measure you purported to deem important when Biden was in office. I don't think Daddy can hurt people in my position—but his voters will suffer.
Gasbag wants to run against past inflation. But he'll helpfully explain that Daddy's rising inflation isn't Daddy's fault.
No one here reads any business news. That's obvious.
Agreed, Trump won’t go as extreme as I’d like him to. That’s what I get for voting for a moderate I guess.
Businesses are pricing Daddy's promised tariffs in today. What happens from here belongs to him.
Can't spin stability from chaos.
You can build stability from chaos. Or like the dementia patient and Team Dazzler can you build chaos out of stability.
Inflation will be rising because of Daddy. It'll most hurt the uneducated Red voters. Looking forward to your excuses.
Trump wont have the media to tell us it was not real, then it was transitory, then it was Putin’s fault, then it was good.
