Jul 8, 2025 — Other factors driving up beef prices include high grain prices, tariffs and rising interest rates, according to a June study from NerdWallet, a ...
 
Its a supply and demand issue. Buy chicken
Eat shit and live. Just as yous guys bitched about Biden's high egg prices, Trump is responsible for high beef prices, which turns yer opinion into an illogical conclusion fer propagandizing rhetorical lies fer Trump by his fawning buttsmoochers club like yous.
 
No TVs are allowed in prison. My loyalties do not influence what rich businessmen do to obtain products to sell, dipshit.
You should do a little basic research before spreading lib misinformation


Federal prisons generally do not allow personal in-cell televisions, adhering to a policy that bans such “luxury items.” However, many state prisons do permit inmates to purchase personal televisions for use in their cells or living areas. The specific rules can vary widely even within the same state, with minimum-security facilities often being more lenient than maximum-security ones.
 
All prisons are not federal prisons; in fact, there are fewer federal prisons than state-run or privately ran.
What are you babbling about?

The link clearly says that fed prisons do not allow tvs while many state prisons do
 
So annualized out it's at 2.9%, which has the market cranky today, especially the interest rate-sensitive NASDAQ.

It could have been worse, so let's see the next couple of reports. It does mean the Fed has a tough decision to make on interest rates, for sure. Inflation is still a bit too high.

By the way, the Core PCE number does not include food or energy because they're so volatile. Reports over the next couple of months will need to be looked at with a magnifying glass.

The next full CPI report will be out in a couple of weeks. That'll be a more complete gauge.

What taxes have been cut?
Trumps tax cuts extended no tax on overtime or tips, larger child deduction, and personal standard deduction. Not a single democrat voted for it. Thats one reason why the middle class has left the party
 
The Core PCE Report is out this morning, and we'll see what inflation is up to. Two or three more reports and we'll have a solid idea.

Looking for two things, in general:

1. With American business paying increased tariffs on imported goods, and those goods now working their way through the domino effect of supply chains, how much will that increase costs before consumers pay for goods?

2. How much will American business be able to absorb before passing costs to consumers, and what will those increases look like?

We've already had reports showing some unwelcome increases, but you never know. There are things American businesses can do to avoid and mitigate price increases, and no doubt they're doing what they can. It can include finding new suppliers, choosing not to buy/sell certain products, finding ways to increase internal efficiencies, backing off on things like new capital expenditures and dividends, and/or accepting lower margins.

This will go a long way in determining whether the Fed can start decreasing rates in the near term.

We'll see!

Bad news for America haters like you, Simp.

The increase in the standard deduction is not going to come close to the higher prices due to tariffs, estimated to be $2400 a year per household. The no tax on tips is just a deduction that caps out at twenty-five grand. Tips over that and you will pay taxes. Same for overtime, that caps out at $12,500 per person. It only applies to the half part of time and a half. So, everyone will still pay taxes on overtime. For instance, say you work fifty hours a week at thirty bucks and hour. That is ten hours of overtime each week, $450. The only part that is non-taxable is the $150 bucks, still going to pay taxes on the three hundred. And both of those deductions sunset after 2028, what a crock of shit.

Come tax time, many in the middle class are going to figure out pretty damn quick, they got conned.

I don't mind paying taxes, but I want my money's worth for it.
 
What higher prices?
Cars, both new and used, and go ahead, ask how come used car prices are up. Furniture, toys, food, especially beef. Even services like airline flights. From the beginning I said we would start seeing the effect until the back to school shopping season, the Producer's Price Index increases from last month indicate as much.
