MAGA: "One of the Fed Governors resigned today. We will get a cut soon. Prices will go down measurably. Taxes too."

Economist: Shit. Now we will have even more inflation, no price stability, dollar weakness, and prices will go up and up....

One of the Fed Governors resigned today. We will get a cut soon. Prices will go down measurably. Taxes too.

3lb Pistachios used to be 14.99 5-6 months ago, on Amazon. Then two months ago they were 16.49. Today they are over 21 dollars. Chocolate candy at Giant that used to be 1.79 is 1.99. Half a gallon organic milk used to be 4.79 a month ago, up from 4.39 a year ago is 4.99 now. Trader Joe's pound chocolate is 7.99 now. Ketchup at Trader Joe's used to be 1.99 a year is 2.49 last time I checked. Used to shop at Trader Joe's until it became just too expensive for me. As an OCD shopper I know all the prices, even better than BLS. They have been creeping up. Only way to beat inflation is to change what you buy and cook.

You are a liberal and you care about the environment a lot. This is good news no? I mean you guys told us that red meat processing is a huge contributor to pollution.

So maybe you can become vegetarian.

OP wanted examples and this is an example.

I've been buying beef from local farmers for years , while paying more and eating less. Now everyone else is going to get to do the same thing because it will be unaffordable.

And, yes, as a liberal (who does eat meat) I do think there will be pluses to Trump's policies: most of us won't be able to afford to eat as much meat, we won't be able to afford to eat out, we won't be able to afford as much food in general, and we won't be able to afford to consume as much of whatever we consume. We don't be able to afford new clothes every year or new electronics.

The downside is that really poor and lower middle class people are going to be in real trouble and will probably not be able to afford to feed their kids or their rent / mortgage.

For example an item that I want to buy for months is now twice the price at multiple vendors!

I was looking at ceramic garden pots in May. Bought on for $75 and wanted to by another. It is now $575 and it is for every manufacturer.

I stopped shopping for the most part. Once I boycott Target, my overall expenses decreased.

I bought a lot of supplies a few months ago when prices were lower. However, that is just delaying the inevitable.

I will probably not get home repairs now, and we will not buy a new car for many years.

Senator Hawley is going to send every American $600 from the vast amount of tariff money the US has collected from the losers in other countries.

I am paying way more than $600 for the extra costs, so it's all a loss for me. Josh H is stoo-pid.

Nope, target prices are higher to make up for the horrific loss they're experiencing from the boycotts. They've always been the most expensive and will continue to be.

The sky has been falling for a while OP where have you been?

Meat is really going up right now and the sales aren't as a good either.

Beef at it's highest price in 70 years.

Crickets from OP. No examples huh? hahaha!

You're so juvenile. I'm not OP, but I've been buying clothes for my kid, as well as stuff for my pets, and noticing everything is slightly more expensive than before.
