Like I said you don't gotta wait till Christmas - go buy some ground beef & ask yourself if Trump is delivering or is - doing the opposite of delivering! - on his "gro-CER-yy" pledge. Cc @Os Trigonum
Well there you go -- the expert on inflation, the MANAGER at Trader Joe's! Disregard the actual data showing very low inflation -- let's talk to a guy making $20/hour at a low-end grocery store! Whenever Democrats try to manufacture a story, like Trump being responsible for the runaway inflation that Biden caused for years, it's just so obvious to everyone except liberals that the Democrats are trying to gaslight and rewrite the story. I smelled it on Russian collusion from day one of Jake Sullivan's lies... I smelled it on the Hunter Biden laptop.... smelled it on COVID's origins... and as a young man, I smelled it on Bill Clinton's finger wagging about Monica Lewinsky! Liberals don't have that ability to smell BS. It's a blindspot. And it's why they run ads with Chuck Schumer grilling and Elizabeth Warren drinking beer... they are simply tone deaf. No one in their right mind thinks Trump caused food inflation. GOOD DAY
Yea, its slowly creeping in everywhere I look. A maga colleague says we have to do this so we can bring those jobs home LOL..........he still thinks were all getting checks from the dodge cuts LOL. I still see people who dont get how tarrifs work and since my company deals with MANY countries I can sum it up real easy When company X buys 1000.00 of product from China, the Chinese firm makes it, puts it in a boat and ships it. It comes to the Port of Houston, they send a notice to the Company of Record (which is us) and we pay the shipping fee and the TARRIF right there n the spot, we then bake that cost into COGS and pass that on to our customer. If the Tarriff was 9%, we pay the 9% upfront and then disperse it to our customers...................We do NOT eat any of it. What this does to the origin MFG is I may have customers who will not put up with a price hike so I simply do not order from that vendor again and they go out of business We send out NEW updates weekly...................our sales are down, go figure.
ANOTHER low inflation print today -- 2.7% is a fantastic number and well under the 9.0% inflation that Biden gave us. Food and energy inflation was lower than the averages. Liberals' scare lines just aren't working. Trump continues to deliver on campaign promises. Liberals punching air again. Stock market loving the low inflation numbers. GOOD DAY https://www.wsj.com/economy/cpi-inflation-july-2025-interest-rate-c9d31b19 Inflation Held Steady at 2.7% in July Consumer prices were up 2.7% in July from a year earlier, the Labor Department said Tuesday, holding steady with June’s gain of 2.7%. That was below the 2.8% rise expected by economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal. Prices excluding food and energy categories — the so-called core measure economists watch in an effort to better capture inflation’s underlying trend — rose 3.1%, above forecasts for a 3% increase.
Good news folks, was able to find a craft six pack yesterday of bell's hazy hearted ale for a mere 11.99 (marked down from 12.99, thanks to aluminum & agricultural tariffs)
Cabbage, zucchini, squash, tomatoes, onions, fish, all the healthy food options keep increasing in price along with my blood pressure.
Today's PPI number is virtually meaningless... and the market agrees, as the S&P 500 was up today and mortgage rates dropped to a low in 2025. These are great things. Most of PPI figure came from business services, and not food or tariffed goods, further confirming that the tariffs have had virtually no impact on inflation as foreign producers and corporations are adjusting to shoulder the burden. Meanwhile, the tariffs are being used to drive much improved terms of trade for US goods abroad and massive investments in American manufacturing... all while helping to reduce the deficit. Objectively, no one can say that the tariffs haven't been a huge home run. Liberals are punching air yet again. GOOD DAY
I think you underestimate the day-to-day hardship being experienced by people who are simply trying to enjoy their craft beer
PPI is a better measurement of inflation than CPI bcz PPI tracks wholesale price levels which is a better indicator of long term inflation "Inflation had no impact on food" lol meanwhile These low iq cultist demand you be as braindead as they are
[Educational Post] No the PPI is not a better measure of inflation... which is why the recent CPI figure moved the equity and debt markets so much and the PPI number had almost no effect on the markets today. Two-thirds of GDP is consumer spending... and so the CONSUMER price index is far more valuable. Wholesale prices are not paid by the consumer. Yet again you demonstrate poor logic and a lack of economic understanding! I can only sit back and laugh. But also I take pride in the fact that we have created a society where even the economically illiterate can afford internet access. GOOD DAY
He is a pharmacist. He explains to grandparents how to use Ozempic, Skyrizi, and Cialis all day. Yet also finds time to burnish his credentials as a global expert on inflation and economic theory. GOOD DAY
Retailers pass on wholesale costs onto the consumer. The federal reserve uses PPI and not CPI for a reason. CPI is a lagging indicator of inflation. Your dumbass just said we saw no meaningful inflation in food when meat/vegetables are both up double digits. Quit trying to gas light people. Were not all brainwashed cultists like you
