If you don't have enough money, it is your fault

[expat_panama]

You do know grocery stores make like 9% profit. That's not gouging, it's Biden's policies.

Actually what's interesting is that a typical grocery store only makes about a tenth of a percent when they sell food.

The way they make a living is they make that profit by buying the food from the wholesaler & selling it in a couple of days. Making a tenth of a percent in 2 days cranks out to a rate of return of over 12% per year.

Why should I suffer because the president is a dumbass. Inflation is killing everyone, I can't wait till he is president again.

Ok, so this ^^^^ is an example of you jknowgood using poor sentence structure.

I can't wait till he is president again.
So who is the dumbass?

If you meant trump, you should have said trump, not "he".

The 2 percent is their annual gross profit, but on a huge amount of gross sales.

Many who inherit wealth quickly squander it. Easy come easy go.

Actually, the vast majority of rich parents have rich kids because they teach them how to handle money. If they don't then the kids have to learn it by themselves and it's a matter of choice.

My grandpa came to the U.S. and was a tailor who knew how to read & right. My dad when to grade school and put me & my sibs thru college. My kids got graduate degrees & they're rich because we've all learned to work & make ourselves better off.

There are some thru no fault of their own work & fail and the state has to come to their aid. Two reasons: first there's a moral obligation to help victims of chance; second is that we want a population that's daring enough to be able to take measured risks.

So you think they are GOUGING the consumer when the cost of food goes up?

Leftists "I don't have enough money, give me yours"

They always love giving away other peoples money.

Put most of it in their back pocket

Bidenflation took that away.

Go tell them, son. Not me.

Food is cheap in America.

They don't have to be, as I've demonstrated. Sans the ice cream my food bill would be $165/month. Eliminate the donuts and it's $150/month. Swap the McD's for homemade sandwiches and it's $145/month. And this without trying to save on the other foods that I buy.

So what are all these tRumplings bitching about?

Sure, send it on over.

It's true ain't it? Would you rather blame Trump or the evils of Capitalism?

Actually someone corrected me, it's only 2% grocery stores make.

So what I am hearing is that its Mississippi/Alabama/Arkansas/Louisiana's fault they are shit poor. Got it!

Louisiana is shit poor because we lost the oil industry. That's all we had. We really have no manufacturing here. When I go on home time, for my company to get me out of the state, if I don't get lucky and get a load leaving out of the Tabasco plant, I usually wind up picking up in TX.

Now we have the medical field, but we lost a TON of oil industry jobs. Not because of Kumalot, just because it all dried up.

It’s because the government isn’t giving enough welfare.

What a ridiculous baseless statement. You and all Trump haters look at the world completely ass backwards.

Look at tourself and MAGA,
The deep state, the government, illegals, blacks latinos, All people who don't vote for Trump are out to get you. You make yourself a victim of all these groups. You whine like a stuffed pig. You think Trump will rescue you.
Rescue yourself.

Rescue yourself.

We call a spade a spade.

We see your shithole cities and what they became.

We see your agenda and we dont like it or want it here.

The fact you cant handle people saying NO to your BS is a personal problem.

This was here before Trump and will remain after Trump.

We dont accept your path for America.

Quit blaming the government. That is not conservative values. MAGA are not conservatives. They are a group of whiners who expect Donald Trump will take care of all their problems.

Suze Orman, the famous personal finance guru, got people talking recently when she made a bold statement at one of her hugely popular finance seminars. “If you don’t have the money that you want in your life, you are the reason why,” Orman told her audience.

The rich are the reason great poverty exists in this world:

‘"Wherever there is great property there is great inequality. For one very rich man, there must be at least five hundred poor, and the affluence of the few supposes the indigence of the many. The affluence of the rich excites the indignation of the poor, who are often both driven by want, and prompted by envy, to invade his possessions.’

I love when millionaires tell me I don't have enough money. It's so funny. At least I don't stand in front of crowds of people and give bad investment advice.

And yet liberals hate Trump because he's wealthy.

Double standard much?

Actually someone corrected me, it's only 2% grocery stores make.

--and the time frame makes all the difference. While a 2% per year profit wouldn't even keep up w/ inflation, a 2% profit every day would increase your assets 200 fold by the end of the year. Our bottom line is this nonsense about "price gouging" is a crock. Almost everyone's just trying to make a living and the complainers are trying to get it for free.

So you think they are GOUGING the consumer when the cost of food goes up?

Of course not. They have to make their margins to stay in business.

So what are all these tRumplings bitching about?

We need people who complain about food prices to sign a list and state their politics.
