Related to Donuts. I'm in the food business and got some samples of a new creme brulee donut yesterday. Prolly the best donut I have ever had. Thank you Rybelsus.
The federal reserve literally just yesterday cut gdp growth in half and hiked inflation targets The economy is shrinking coz your cult leader and orange messiah is destroying the economy with hundreds of billions in tariffs. Braindead cult
Right. It is a few thousand dollars more for a car..... maybe $25,000 more for new homes built.... an extra $25 a week on groceries.... vacation may cost you an extra couple hundred dollars..... going out to eat will be $10-15 more each time.... your Uber will cost you maybe $3-4 more a ride.... your health insurance maybe an extra $25.... Clothes an extra hundred dollars a few times a year.... but all of this is minor.... that above ground swimming pool maybe $250 more. It will only cost you an extra 10-15% more by the end of the year, but you got this.... maybe no raises, because people cannot afford as much before, but it's okay. If things get really bad there is always the social welfare net you have paid into for decades.... oh wait.... well there is Medicare and social security when your old. Well at least the debt is being paid down...... nope? How about tax cuts to make up for the increased costs? Only for the ultra-wealthy? Defense spending is down, right? The whole "no wars" thing right? You mean the defense budget has increased? Why does this sound more and more like a shell game for the ultra-rich to get richer and protect their wealth? At least there will be less foreigners though - at least until Musk starts pushing to bring in visa holders to take all of the white-collar jobs at half the salary because their immigration status depends on their employment. Hey - I guess ditch diggers and coal miners will be sitting pretty, at least until they get rid of that minimum wage. Then again with 30,000,000 less people in the USA maybe I can get a house in Phoenix Alabama cheap. With the cuts to the pandemic response team and RFK Jr. calling the shots on medicine, I am one bad pandemic from having my pick of homes in the Rust Belt or Dirty South.
I can see some appeal for reshoring and rebuilding America's manufacturing base. That's something the first Trump term started and even Biden added onto by whitelabeling it as BBB. If they want to confront China, then they'll need a supply chain and base that's at least proportionately as hearty as China's, but that'll take years or a focused decade in rebuilding. We can't even dump missiles into Ukraine because of that atrophied capacity. Housing/spending is out of whack for normal homeowners earning less than 250k, and 49% of all consumer spending is being propped up by the 10% who do. This is the consequence of wealth effects and an overly accommodative post-GFC Fed policy along with sustained hands-off neoliberal policies since NAFTA. Since Clinton, both parties has been geared towards catering and pumping out the ultra-wealthy. You can't even call it a K shaped economy anymore. The bottom 90% of earners are heading for an L pattern without government assistance. There are three or four things to juggle that are slowly rearing its ugly head on top of normal governance. Debt, entitlement crisis, China's manufacturing dominance, and the rising chance of stagflation. The orthodoxy hasn't resolved or addressed any of the first three issues in the past 20 years. Stagflation came about from Covid response to jumpstart the economy. So people elected "an outsider" like Trump who has literally two good years to make a dent on them and see what can and can't work. They don't care if he's an incompetently greasy and corrupt felon because of the last ~2 decades of pain since the GFC. Time to become god fearing if you aren't already.
Word on The Street is that vacations to US destinations are in low demand (thanks to good for nothing Canada!) and are selling at steep discounts.
I hope you order from that definitely legitimate website. Or maybe: https://delivery.publix.com/landing...7®ion_id=4818429599&gQT=1&unauth-refresh=1
You need to get off your lazy keister and stop using the library’s free Wi-Fi. Your wife is busting her ass collecting cans to support you you’re no good bum. Your daddy Biden still has dementia you dipshit moron. Lol
You should order from there then. They are selling everything at substantially less than the actual grocery store cost. Though when I checkout it says, those prices will vary based on actual cost and they charge me $50 in convenience fees. So sure.
So true. In isolation I can see a world in which selective tariffs to bring back manufacturing is worth it. But when you see the whole picture of moves, the signal is much less towards strengthening the middle class and more towards the ultra wealthy.
from where did you cut n paste this? btw, your source lie about this your intellectualy dishonest would have the world to believe that these Biden legislations never happen infrastructure bill CHIP act just like the false claim of "Fed wrecking its balance sheet", you once against are spreading convenient baseless spin, why can't your source be specific.? i can be specific as to Biden's policies to reshore and rebuild America's mfg base infrastructure bill CHIP Act,
that'd be true if only Trump 1.0 had passed the infrastructure bill; but Trump 1.0 failed to to so. It was Biden who signed into law the infrastucture bill
