Prices have not come down, liar.

Of course they have. You have to sign up for the Mobile Apps. They weren't giving the coupons they give now during inflation. If you are paying full price then it's your own fault.

Do you go to Krogers? They give 5 x the points if you shop on Friday.

If you're still paying the same, you're stupid.

AND, what do you do for a living that your boss tells you to fuck off when you ask for a raise?

Also, if you tell me you're retired:

The largest cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) in Social Security history was 14.3% in 1981.

In 2023, the COLA increased by 8.7%, the largest percentage increase since 1981.

Real inflation, you don't blame the companies for it and they don't make more money off it. Price gouging is when their prices go down and they continue to charge us the higher rate because let's face it, why not? Us suckers just keep buying it.

And I thought the market would fix itself. If a company price gouges, that should open the door for a competitor to swoop in and steal that business. Libertarians say "let the market decide".

So how come there isn't a cheaper competitor moving in to steal the business from the price gougers?

Why am I not surprised you don't understand a simple concept like inflation?

Inflation is a general increase in the prices of goods and services over time, which can reduce the purchasing power of consumers and businesses.

No that's really not what inflation is. Do you think the intrinsic value of a loaf of bread has increased over the years? Prices going up are a symptom of inflation.

Price gouging is an artificial increase in the prices of goods and services, which reduces the purchasing power of consumers and businesses.

So you think inflation isn't artificial?

That arrow is when Nixon ended the gold standard.

Same for this arrow.

And this one.

At least she knows Hannibal lector is a character and not a great guy. Lol

AND YOU are repeating a total 100% lie about Trump... as the biased MSM is wont to do!
FACTS for you ok?

During a rally in New Jersey in May, he said, "'Silence of the Lambs.'
Has anyone ever seen 'The Silence of the Lambs'? The late, great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man."

The fictional character, famous from Thomas Harris’ novels and several films and TV shows, was referenced by Trump during his speech – and not for the first time.
"You know, the press is always on me because I say this,” Trump began.
But he still couldn’t resist.
“Has anyone seen Silence of the Lambs? The late, great Hannibal Lecter. He’d love to have you for dinner.

What is it with Donald Trump’s obsession with Hannibal Lecter?

The lambs have not yet stopped screaming for Donald Trump. Nor has the screaming in our heads as we try to understand what’s behind the Republican nominee’s fixation with Hannibal Lecter – who he keeps namechecking during his speeches. Anthony Hopkins has stated he's "shocked and appalled."

www.euronews.com

Now have YOU ever seen "Silence of the Lambs"???? Obviously YOU think Trump based on your biased MSM
have again the wrong information!
Why can't you idiots know that your dumb ass comments will be totally invalidated with the Internet?

 

[healthmyths]

I suspect they want to believe. Like Trumpers who believe he’s for the working class and against the deep state.

What FACTS do you have Trump is against the deep state?
Now here are a couple FACTS that contradict your contention.
By the way you are evidently not aware that Trump administration in 2020 alone dropped 3 rules and regulations for every one new one. There are now over 200,000 pages.

The BIASED MSM that donated 96% to Hillary and 90% to Biden.
BUT you won't find this a common point and today the same ratio as what ABC,CBS,NBC did in 2020-
Tell me if you had 37 hours of television time pumping out all negative information about you what would you say?

What they found was, over the summer, the broadcast networks have continued to pound Donald Trump and his team with the most hostile coverage of a president in TV news history —
92% negative, vs. just 8% positive.from July 29,2020 through October 20,2020.

Broadcast networks deliver 92% negative coverage for Trump, 66% positive for Biden: Study

The country’s major broadcast news media outlets have never been more negatively biased against a sitting president than Donald Trump, a conservative media watchdog has concluded in its latest study, which found President Trump receives negatively-slanted coverage 92% of the time in network news...

YOU are 100% correct! I took some journalism courses in a Big Ten university in the early 60s and we were taught to treat the 5 "Ws" equally. "Who,What,Where,When and Why" were to be equal.... BUT after the Students for Democratic Society(SDS) which I just heard again on CBS news as they were discussing the 1968 Democrat convention when SDS was in vogue.

Today's CBS news story about SDS was a classic illustration of how the NEWS emphasis on "WHY" has dominated with THEIR personal opinions which again as a journalism student in the 60s, we were taught was VERBOTEN!

Watch and see how the reporter softened the story about Bill Ayers, a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and a former leader of the Weather Underground, a radical left organization in the 1970s.[2] Investigations by CNN,
Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, hosted a gathering at their home in 1995,[6] where Alice Palmer introduced Obama as her chosen successor in the Illinois State Senate.

Ayers was part of the five-member central committee heading the Weathermen starting at its creation in the summer of 1969.[12] By 1969, Dohrn had joined them. Larry Grathwohl, an FBI informant who was with the Weathermen from autumn 1969 through spring 1970, considered Ayers and Dohrn the two top leaders of the organization.[13] In early 1970, the group had begun a series of bombings, primarily of government buildings,[14] that would continue into 1975

Gouging is inflation. It doesn’t cause inflation.

Do you know what is not inflation?

That’s shrinkflation.

YOU are so economically ignorant! "Gouging is inflation. It doesn’t cause inflation."
AGAIN where are your facts?
NOW I did a quick search on your above statement:
And YOU are obviously NO Economist nor am I but the difference between you and ME is I do research before I make any dumb ass totally personal and definitely UNSUBSTANTIATED statement like YOU!
GEEZ I am so disgusted with people like you who don't do ANY validation of your dumb comments!

Harris’ plan to stop price gouging could create more problems than it solves​

Harris’ proposal could create more problems than the one it’s trying to solve, some economists say.​

Gavin Roberts studied anti-price gouging laws some states passed during the pandemic. One of the biggest effects he observed, especially at grocery stores, was that these laws motivated people
“to go buy goods more than they would if prices had risen.”
When prices are high, in most cases, the best policy action in response is actually taking no action, Roberts, the chair of Weber State University’s economics department, told CNN.

That would cause consumers who are deterred by, say, high prices of beef, to instead purchase another type of meat or protein.
That helps keep beef on the grocery store shelves for people who want it enough to pay the higher prices.

And while Harris claims her proposal “will help the food industry become more competitive,”
Roberts said it would do just the opposite.
“It’s more likely to maintain that status quo,” he said because it would keep new competition from moving in to take advantage of the bigger profit margins — competition that could have helped lower prices in the long run.

Jason Furman, a top economist in the Obama administration, shared Roberts’ view that anti-price gouging laws could inadvertently harm consumers.
“This is not sensible policy, and I think the biggest hope is that it ends up being a lot of rhetoric and no reality,”
he told the New York Times. “There’s no upside here, and there is some downside.”

Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday is expected to call for a federal ban on price gouging to lower grocery prices and everyday costs for Americans in her first economic policy speech

https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/15/politics/harris-price-gouging-ban-economic-policy-speech/index.html

Details...details... "the devil is in the details".

What price would Kamala suggest for a loaf of bread?
Price that was before she became VP which was: In 2020 loaf of bread $1.54 -------
Price today: Loaf of bread: $2.54 in 4 years nearly DOUBLE the price.

So what will the supermarket, especially the smaller neighborhood store in what are called.."food deserts" that don't have enough volume?
The small "food desert" grocery store will have to pay MORE to the bread delivery group because THEY won't be able to give the "food desert" store the same discounts they are giving the supermarkets which buy at a larger volume and the delivery cost is lower, i.e. gas, labor etc.
So what will happen to the grocery store? They can't raise the prices on anything as they are the last stop in buying bread, etc.
Kamala and all ignorant people don't understand how this works don't obviously understand what "price gouging" is.
The small local grocery store in the "food desert" will close!
