So far grocery prices still suck

[toobfreak]

I realize Trump is not in office yet and can't really do much. However I hope he keeps in mind that groceries sunk Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

I think the best approach would be to keep prices the same and just give a 40% salary increase to all the people who voted for him.
Plus student loan forgiveness for all Trump students.
And free immigration naturalization to all immigrants who register as republicans and show proof of voting straight GOP.

Isn't this exactly the Biden approach? So what democrat could possibly not approve of it?

And let's not even talk about what happens should those blanket tariff increases go through.

The tariffs are already working, Jack. Mexico's president just acquiesced without a fight and Justin Trudeau is at Mar-A-Lago as we speak kissing Trump's feet.

The Art of the Deal wins again.

2/3rds of Canada and Mexico's trade is the USA..

We can destroy them financially and they know it

If he has any aspirations for the mid term he had better make groceries a priority.

I realize it's a bit more complex than simply ordering the grocery stores to lower their prices which would only cause them to close their doors.

If it's a supply chain issue let's get to it! It's the single most interactive point of the economy for 100% of the population.

Still doesn't keep people from hoarding.

Went to the store today, most of the shelves were empty.

Luckily, I stocked up LAST week. Only needed to get TP and some cheese and my meds.

That was because of thanksgiving...You must have gone in the morning...I'll bet the shelves are stocked by now.

Grocery prices are here to stay. All he can do is try to stimulate wages enough that people don't care so much. Well that, and nobody will complain about $4 eggs once they get the sticker shock of what a new car is going to cost them if Trump's tariffs are fully realized. Conservatives seem to still be suffering under the delusion that vehicles are actually manufactured here and not just assembled out of a plethora of imported parts manufactured overseas.

All this bad weather has to affect production and thus prices.

Even when he's in office, the supply chain issue won't change...quickly that is. And let's not even talk about what happens should those blanket tariff increases go through.

I won't be able to by a Tesla.

you said it was due to the policies of Biden.

I pay $2.79 for eggs (same price for milk), and I paid $7,000 for my last car, two years ago (a 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis LS). And I'm a conservative.

You got ripped off on the car price.

 

[Woodznutz]

Probably contributed. I think there are several reasons for high prices.

I bought it online from an out of state dealer. I gave him asking price if he would deliver it. Great car so far, my third Grand Marquis. I'll drive them as long as they are available.

If ONLY trump had an effective COVID response.

You keep the dream alive that trump is your savior....LOLLLOOLLLLOOOOOLLLL

Name the trump policy that LOWERED gas prices.......I'll tell ya, it was COVID.
Thanks POS

Oh, I'm wrong, so tell me the POLICY....The Exact Trump Policy that lowered gas prices.

 

[initforme]

Supply chain issues? Where? We don't have any. Perhaps we will be seeing more strikes though as workers will be asking for much higher wages. And the public sides with them.

 

[fncceo]

Also, Trump cannot order anyone to lower prices.

But, you said he was a dictator?

Or conversely we could strengthen the dollar which would ease the wage pressure. Know what does that?
Trade balance.

None of that matters to the average Joe. You can't do economics 101 with Mr and Mrs. Kitchen table....you can only do one thing ..... results. The same will hold true for this new administration. No results? No votes.

You got robbed on on a 20 year old car but better keep it running. You soon won't be able to replace it.
