What are Y'all Gonna Do Next Month When A Gallon Of Milk Cost $11

@apexofpurple here he is yet again shamelessly repeating the same BS as though it's never been explained to him.

 

Has nothing to do with politics. It's about the PEOPLE - and the people are too far gone for anything like the level of sacrifice and cooperation needed for Govt Regulated resources. The effort required by individuals is way beyond the 21stC limit.

 

Can we know what your purpose is in demonising these caveats? Is your goal to ensure people don't do anything to save themselves?

I can see the mechanics of it. Keep reminding the folk that fear is just as terrible as hurt feelings, and that anything in that neighbourhood is essentially beyond the pale. Make THAT the focus, and you reduce the risk that folk will empower themselves. They'll be too busy keeping those denial boats (conspiracy theories! preppers! everything will be fine again in a few weeks! govt will save me!) afloat. Besides, they won't want to risk the condemnation of the Kool Kids by laying in a few extra stores.

 

Bingo. But it's a problem all over the West, not just America.

 

The incremental damage that the denialists 'can't see'. As I keep saying to such folk, it's not about a Zombie Apocalypse, it's about death by a thousand cuts.

 

There is no price gouging. Oil prices are going up because of Biden and the Democrats.

 

To be fair (not that $85 is fair for that puny collection either way), there are some exey items involved. There's definitely meat, and it looks as though there's also fresh pasta and cheese. All three are 'luxuries'. If there's real maple syrup there too, that's another strike, as are the pre-packaged fresh greens. Our sample person hasn't yet learned how to live frugally

 

any country with lower wages and benefits than us.... answer many times

this one, for one

"Trump told Saudi: Cut oil supply or lose U.S. military support"

Republicans did that, with their mishandling of covid

 

what I post is fact, been explained to you mean many times, even provide links

 

same thing, but at least we agree the people are too far divided for that to happen

 

oil prices are going up because foreign supply is down, Trump had a hand in that

"Trump told Saudi: Cut oil supply or lose U.S. military support"

republicans are on the side of big oil, they do not want us to have cheaper gas

 

I find myself in the situation where I was so poor for so long, from childhood to my early 30s, that I know how to get by very frugally.

Asian noodles with frozen veggies and low sodium flavoring. Rotisserie chicken and chicken stock in frozen ice cube trays. I can get local wild growing mint, sage, chia.

If I'm feeling extravagant crack a duck egg into said soup.

Basmati rice is cheap and easy to make.

PB and fruit preserves.

Shop at outlet stores.

Bulk steel cut oats.

Tuna curries.

There is like a 20 acre farm plot near by. Of the 20 people that work it 15 are in the fields and the rest package up and wash whatever was in season that day. It's fresher and cheaper than the dollar store. They even take requests for specific crops if you come back a couple hours later.

 

You post a mixture of a fact mixed in with your out of context interpretation and out of context timeline.

And you keep right on regurgitating it is though no one knows any better

 

I don't know if they grow out there but if you harvest small wild onions beware of the look-alike death camas

 

what I post is true, you know it, which is why you're not posting any rebuttal to what I say, you know Trump did that

 

Do any leftists think maybe they made a mistake? Nah. We have more trans bathrooms now and Ketanji is gonna be on the bench! Well worth it. Yippee!

 

It's too dry and desert like here for wild onion or garlic.

Even though it's 25 miles as the crow flies to the ocean.

 

It's hyperbole with the comparison to $11 per gallon. Furthermore, blaming a president on anything is futile. By your logic, Trump should be blamed for meat shortages in 2020.

As I said they will probably do it next week in their FOMC meeting. Remember, Trump pressured the FED to lower interest rates to near zero becaause there were signs that the economy was slowing down, like summer durable were decreasing unexpectedly.

Restricting the money supply will cause a credit crunch, which businesses, especially the Fortune 500 do not want. As I said, they can, but the end result would be a recession and you will blame Biden for that too :confused

Except inflation is a lagging indicator, not a leading indicator. If Trump was reelected, we would still be having high inflation rates. The only difference, Trump will be blaming China and so would you.

Debt to income ratio has nothing to do with standard of living or high expensive it is to live. Singapore is very expensive to live yet the averaper native Singaporean has better financials than the Average American. We Americans have historically had low savings rates, high debt to income ratio, and with a stagnant real wages the past 40 years while everything else becoming more expensive due to technological advancements and other inputs, that is the reason why.

 

This Tweet is in reference to the demand shock of oil production in the global economy due to the artificial drop in demand from both the travel restrictions during COVID coupled with the oil price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia in the backdrop.

Note that this particular Tweet was from May 5th, 2020.

Demand shocks are not a good thing; they are an irregularity in the economy. Demand shock is not a good thing as "workers lose income and all consumers cut back on spending." Trump was reacting to a normalization of the economy out of demand shock. Context matters.

Also, please note: under Trump, gas prices never surpassed $3 a gallon; today, under Biden, gas is over $4 a gallon.

 

yep, Trump thought oil prices were too low, and did what he could to reduce supply during covid, now that covid is ending and demand is up, prices are going up until supply can catch up again

 

I just gave you my rebuttal it's not my fault if you want to keep repeating the same out of context things add nauseam.

 

Covid started during an election year, and it is now ending in an election year. Just a coincidence, I know.

The demand shock was caused by irrational fear, stoked by the fear porn from the media and the Democrats (but I repeat myself), which resulted in the shutting down of the global economy. If there was no shutdown, there would not have been a demand shock. The demand shock was caused by Democrats and those that think like them on a global scale.

 

Simmons called for the cooling down of the Stimulus packages, which both Republicans and Democrats were in favor of, not to mention their constituents. Republicans and Democrats had different opinion on how much and to whom, but Summers wanted zero, zilch, nada, none.

Your graph is incorrect. Biden won the nomination in November 2020 and took the oath of office in late January 2021. Those dates are incontrovertible. As such, inflation, based on your chart, was already increasing in the last year of Trump.

Try again and use the correct facts.

 

And you would vote Republican no matter who is running.
