Doc7505 the ukraine war will be solved, eventually, with a peace treaty.

our project is to insure that there is still a ukraine to sign it.

Ukraine is none of your business You plastic sack of human vile.

They should be in business for free? Pay $100/hr for people to stand around and bad mouth Trump? What would the shareholders say about that?

When prices double in a shot time, revenue will go up. But so does the cost of goods and services. Not automatically “record profits” as you bellow out your window “whars my check”. suck on that commeee Obiden stooge.

You don't understand what you read....that's not what Winter born said or implied.

As we approach what is likely to be the most chaotic presidential election in U.S. history, trouble signs are starting to erupt for the U.S. economy. In fact, CNN is actually admitting that “the long-predicted storm clouds in the economy may actually be forming”. I can’t remember the last time that I saw a CNN article with a headline like that. But at this point, it is becoming extremely difficult for the mainstream media to avoid the truth. Inflation is getting worse at the same time that many key sectors of our economy are slowing down. If you thought that the last couple of years were rough for the economy, just wait until you see what is coming next. Tremendous turmoil is on the horizon, and the American people are becoming increasingly emotional about our rapidly growing economic problems.
On Wednesday, we learned that prices jumped even more than expected during the month of March…
~Snip~
For example, Fox Business is reporting that the cost of energy “is up 36.9% from where it was in Jan. 2021″…

Tuesday’s inflation numbers punctuate what has been a dreadful three years for energy consumers. The overall cost of energy in March is up 36.9% from where it was in Jan. 2021, according to the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.​

Of course energy prices are going to go a lot higher than they are right now.
~Snip~
Just like me, so many of you can feel what is coming.
A tipping point has arrived, and the outlook for the months ahead is very bleak.
The U.S. economy is going off the rails, and the worse things get the more frustrated the American people are going to become.


Commentary:
Not according to our 46th president and his administration. We are doing so well, we don’t have to worry about the cost of illegals or of forgiving student loans, and we can freely help Ukraine with many hundreds of billions of dollars for something that could have been handled with a peace treaty.
Everything is fine!
Don't worry about housing, food, or fuel for heating, cooking or transportation. Our president has it covered.
Yes, The Rats in Washington have it covered. They tell us they won’t cut Social Security benefits, but they have no problem creating high inflation, or fudging the numbers to limit Social Security COLA’s for retirees.
The next round of inflation is going to be absolutely brutal. Many already on the brink who never would've considered crime will start to ponder it.
America's largely service sector economy will take a massive hit as what little discretionary spending still exists evaporates and near-minimum wage workers can barely afford to commute.
What happens when rural youth begin behaving like urban youth?
There is a level of hardship at which this starts to happen en-masse.

Reagan told us to tighten that belt another notch things were gonna get tough.

I hope you`re right but I`m concerned that the progressives will turn on Biden over Israel. It was the progressives that but Mango Mussolini in the Whitehouse because they refused to vote for Hillary Clinton. Hillary`s crimes? She made money giving speeches to bankers.

aoc explained the "uncommitted" movement fairly well. they know that whatever the problems in israel trump would not be a policy improvement for either side.

we were a problem for hillary, but most progressives (and we are far more divided on isreal than any other faction) are kind of back on the reservation, at least through the election.

actually, biden has been great for us and on the whole, we do not want any kind of "river to the sea" or whatever, we want everyone there (and everyone else) to be treated justly and humanely.

My Senator calls it Greedflation. From 2020 to 2022, inflation rose 14% while corporate profits rose 75%. Greed is the #1 cause of Socialism.

Sen. Bob Casey asks congressional investigators to look at 'greedflation'

U.S. Sen. Bob Casey has asked the investigative arm of Congress to investigate what he says is corporate greed costing American families thousands of dollars in jacked-up prices.

Obama handed Trump a great economy. He passed a tax break like Bush did when he gave Clinton's surplus away to the rich. It gave us a very small bump in Obama's already good economy. Trump slowed the economy starting a trade war with China. Like a bull in a china shop. I want a diplomat to be POTUS you want an authoritarian who EVERYONE you don't agree with should fear.

You cheer when Trump says cops should rough up suspects who are cuffed then buy his bible with the constitution and bill or rights included?

READ IT BITCH!

I'm not sure "young adults" have a realistic view of what life should be like.

While it's true that from the end of WWII through the mid-60's, it was possible for a HS or college grad to be fully self-supporting in his early 20's, those days are long gone.

In recent times, it takes two F/T incomes to support a household, and that household will likely start out with quite a bit of debt, even excluding student loan debt.

I see videos of people in their early-to-mid 20's complaining that they cannot afford to live...pay rent, utilities, food, and have a bit left over for entertainment. No shit. This hasn't been possible for most working-class people for a couple generations.

Rents and prices of "starter" homes are exploding due to a "lack of inventory," and that's no lie, but it's not all that much worse than it has been for quite a while.

Two full-time incomes. That's what it takes in "normal" times. You are not being picked upon by the fickle finger of fate.

LOL.....I went through a period when after I paid the bills I'd have $12.00 left from my paycheck!

That's called a "clue" that I had to increase my income, so I started going to yard sales and buying on Saturday and selling on Sunday at the flea market. I used a OT check as "seed money".....I never looked back and in short order I had all kinds of cash to be able to afford the little "extras" for me and mine.

Soon after that Dupont opened a facility in my AO and I got a job there almost doubling my income after a year but I still kept going with the flea market.....I paid for the lot and half of my second home I built in cash from the profit I made selling stuff.

Bootstraps.....They need to pull on them.

The recession started in Dec of 2007. Who was the POTUS in Dec of 2007?

The economy sucks!

It always does.

 

[leftwinger]

None of the different DOLLAR STORES, are actually $1.00 stores!!! What a rip off!

start your own store and sell for less than you buy it at you big-mouthed single digit IQ holler monkey.

 

[airplanemechanic]

What a fucking moonglow dumbass. This is all we need to know. So Trump was president while Clinton caused the 5 trillion dollar dot com recession? Funny how every time we get a democrat president we get an economic recession that a republican president has to pull us out of.

These clowns chirp “how great it is”. AFTER 2X 3X increase in every single item since 2021. Now the black backed apes yell out “inflation has slowed”. Stupid Oxyen. The damage was done for the poor way way back at $6 gas and prices don’t come back down during GOVT chaos. Their money is gone. Diesel fuel us up, good delivered by Diesel fuel has been a huge factor. Day 1 the chowderhead destroyed the US Oil market.

The prices will not come down until the market is ready and that ready involves the end of wars in a couple of areas sensitive to processing and transporting the black gold.

4.99 is up, but .89 sounds closer to when carter was president. you know, when 4k cash could drive out of the lot with a new corolla.

but there are a few considerations to using eggs as a harbinger of inflation........

bird flu has its consequences, covid effects the agribusiness. employees as does our immigration law and petroleum prices.,

the conditions under which eggs are commercially produced has convinced many that the mass produced eggs may not be of quality "fit for human consumption."

a dozen leghorn eggs is about $10 or 12 (up from 76 cents for my first bantams). keep our a pan of water and throw out a few scraps. eggs will appear.

act like american and stop waiting for trump to lay your eggs.l

.89 Kroger, on sale. Regular price 1.19. Own this Biden disaster.

stupid OX get off the boards. Go learn some basuc common sense. Barely more than 2019. Population growth plus 15 million illegals eating it up.

US exports up. Takes more Oil to get Oil under these GW regulatioons.

U.S. crude oil exports established a record in 2023, averaging 4.1 million barrels per day (b/d), 13% (482,000 b/d) more than the previous annual record set in 2022.

start your own store and sell for less than you buy it at you big-mouthed single digit IQ holler monkey.

A former co-worker from Harlin Co., KY ran a small Mom & Pop out of a shed next to their home.....In a few years they had made enough money to buy a IGA supermarket.....A few years later they owned three of them.

They sold them all to a chain and are now multi-millionaires.....Not bad for a full-blooded Cherokee that never finished HS.
