    Wal-Mart's for clothes and lawn mowers. Chevron for groceries.

    We can all see prices going up, I see it in subtle ways like buying a rib eye at HEB was $14-$18 and this past Sunday it was $21-$24

    I`m not great at knowing what everything should cost, but even I see an uptick and its not just groceries, I have been looking for a new dryer and Ceiling fan at Lowes and havent bought it yet as I had projects in front of these items and the fan and dryer are both higher, and not by < $1, its like a 20%jump

    I cant keep up with his start and stop approach, but it looks like Aug 1 everyone except a few will be at 30%................not sure what happened to 90 deals in 90 days and all the countries calling to make beautiful trade deals, but looks like that failed to................IMO by the Holidays the true effects will be apparent just in time for Xmas and Travel, will there be an outcry about the prices or will maga just take it on the chin and give there hard-earned money to the elites like musk and bezos or will they call it out like they did last year?? IMO most of them will bend over and take it and then ask for more, but the fringe voters who wanted a change will not take kindly to the bait and switch

    And the Billionaires will be sitting in their mansions at Xmas while the true backbone of America will have less than the previous year......................
