    Bank of America lent Bessent $21 million to fund deals for a home in Bedford Hills, New York and a beach house in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

    This is the guy telling people struggling with inflation to ...UPROOT YOUR FAMILY TO A RED STATE.

    I think what's left of the media underestimates how irrelevant/toxic **** heads like Bessent, Vance, Lutnick etc are as messengers

    Most people just ignore them or never heard of them, so, no harm I guess, but the average person on the street, after hearing a 30 second description of his resume & current misdeeds, would probably tell you that Bessent should have his assets commandeered by the state and exiled to Dubai for the rest of his life

    It's been 10+ months since Sam Fisher's prediction of a recession. Instead of a recession, we have strong GDP growth, historically low inflation, a jobs market that had an excellent recent report, and a stock market that is soaring.

    Lesson: Don't ever take advice from upset, emotional liberals.

    More advice: Enjoy the prosperity that comes from the Golden Era.


    GOOD DAY

    The CPI has risen every year since 1955. It's the RATE of change that matters. This is called inflation. And under Trump is is MUCH MUCH lower than under Biden. You don't even know the basics, amigo. Below is a reminder of who gave us the runaway inflation.

    Jesus man this Thanksgiving point has already been disproven as they compared smaller portion sizes this year to larger ones last year. It was comparing apples nd oranges!

    It's just crazy effective right wing disinformation is. They all repeat the same **** like zombies

    That was a comparison solely at Walmart. This is from the American Farm Bureau comparing prices nationwide.

    According to that report wholesale turkey prices are higher today than they were last year but retailers are selling at a loss bcz business is bad and theyre trying to attract folks into the store. Vegetables and ham have both seen price increase according to that report.

    I guess a shitty economy has lowered turkey prices but for the wrong reasons (slowing economy).

    Thanksgiving turkeys have always been a "loss leader" as far as I know.

    And there is only a small window of time to get those birds out of the store.
