A major foundation of capitalism is forcing people to serve capital for basic human needs. especially food and shelter.
Another major foundation is printing money for the rich while impoverishing everybody else through inflation.
So the system has no choice but to constantly and wildly raise the prices of food, shelter, etc.
Not going to lie, it's going to be funny to see trump voter's forced smiles when a gallon of milk is $20. At least everyone else can be congruent with their disdain and suffering.
They're so tribal that they have to eat their chosen strongman's shit with a smile.
Maybe the silver lining in all this will be an aggressive mass rejection of crony market capitalism, but probably not.
After all... look over there! That hungry person on the street corner begging for food that has a different skin complexion than you, they're the one that made your milk so expensive, git em!
They'll never blame Trump for that. And Trump will blame the previous administration. That's how it works in this country. Moronic political system.
They'll never outwardly blame Trump for that. Hence the strained smiles.
Republicans can do and have unleashed knowing pain on themselves solely because their enemies would suffer too as the point. They believe that's all government is for, a way to hurt people, a weapon.
A Republican has no problem walking around in discomfort with shit in their pants, so long as the innumerable people they hate have to smell it. The cruelty is the point. The play pretend that their guy didn't cause the same pain to them as they revel in your pain for the exact same problem is just fanning their shitty ass towards you.
Good luck with that, dumb shits. Costs are going to go up significantly.
Do they think there is a switch in the oval office that you can turn from expensive groceries to cheap groceries? Like with oil?
Trump told them there's a giant faucet that Canada uses to keep water from California. So I'm gonna go with yes, they think there's a switch.
The math was always simple. He had two main economic proposals. And tariffs + destroying the agrarian workforce = higher prices.
Don't forget raising taxes if your not 1%
Duh? His plan is to slash regulations and increase tariffs meaning companies will be able to set whatever price they want without oversight and blame it on other countries retaliatory tariffs all while laughing all the way to the bank after buying any and all competition.
I mean, his trade war mentality the first time is what put us in this situation to begin with. I don’t know how anyone will be surprised when the price of literally everything starts skyrocketing again next year.
I don’t know how anyone will be surprised when the price of literally everything starts skyrocketing again next year.
The average person is incredibly dumb.
I don’t know how anyone will be surprised when the price of literally everything starts skyrocketing again next year.
And yet, I bet the bulk of his supporters will be very pikachu face if they do. Faux News, etc., will have to scramble to explain to the deplorables how this is really the fault of [qon boogeyman].
Thanks Obama!
It will also keep interest rates from coming down. Markets are already expecting fewer cuts.
Fucking morons bouta get rekt.
..bouta get us all rekt
We all gonna get what the MAGAts deserve.
Too bad the people that FELT POOR Y'ALL aren't going to be the only ones paying the price for their stupid choices.
If only there were lessons to learn from the past https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoot%E2%80%93Hawley_Tariff_Act
The lucky thing is people are going to get punished for being stupid. It won't teach anything, but here we are.
