    You want lower egg prices and groceries? Raise your own chicken and grow your own veggies!


    These folks are so out of touch it's mind numbing.

    The entire article isn't bad, not an op/ed

    WSJ - Trump’s New World Order Tests the Dollar

    “When you look at these policies in a macro way, they have a method to them,” said Lloyd Blankfein, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs. “The risk to the markets is dislocation in the short term. But I think our republic will be better off if we spend a few thousand dollars more for a car in return for having a workforce that can make things and can afford what they make.”

    Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. The sight of this arbitrary rearrangement of riches strikes not only at security but [also] at confidence in the equity of the existing distribution of wealth.

    Those to whom the system brings windfalls, beyond their deserts and even beyond their expectations or desires, become "profiteers," who are the object of the hatred of the bourgeoisie, whom the inflationism has impoverished, not less than of the proletariat. As the inflation proceeds and the real value of the currency fluctuates wildly from month to month, all permanent relations between debtors and creditors, which form the ultimate foundation of capitalism, become so utterly disordered as to be almost meaningless; and the process of wealth-getting degenerates into a gamble and a lottery.

    Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.

    -John Maynard Keynes

    Prices are coming down you clowns. Eggs and gas particularly. That braindead Biden you clowns voted for didn’t have to kill hundreds of millions of those chickens before sicko got booted out of office. Gas prices will continue to drop because of Trump’s energy policy.
    Clowns are gonna be clowns.

    I paid $2.49 for a dozen Publix brand eggs today
    Just gassed up the car at $2.99 per gallon

    You morons keep up with the stupid game, I’m sure you dipshit will win a stupid prize.

    No one is buying anything is the reason.

    Do you know one way to really lower prices? You cause a recession. Almost ALL economists are saying to brace for one because the signs are there.

    This is dumb (for most of American history there has not been an official language and there have never been laws that required people to be fluent in English). I don't know what the legislation from Arkansas says, so I can't judge the Constitutionality. I would say that calling it a human atrocity is probably a stretch.

    Let's hope that girl that got into U Conn doesn't pursue a career in trucking.

    You know you’re a redneck if you drive an 18-wheeler but can’t read or write.

    “What are you transporting?”

    “Bananas”

    “Those aren’t bananas. They’re plantains.You would know that if you could read or write. Give me that paperwork! Make your mark here first!”
