      • Hannibal has been proven more wrong on Latino voting patterns than right. In fact, I'm pretty sure Texas should be blue by now. Or, at least purple.

        • Get ready, America!!! You wanted it, you're getting it: HIGHER PRICES!!!

          ****************************


          "If we get tariffs, we will pass those tariff costs back to the consumer," Philip Daniele, CEO of vehicle parts supplier AutoZone, told Wall Street analysts in an earnings call in late September. "We'll generally raise prices ahead of — we know what the tariffs will be — we generally raise prices ahead of that," Daniele said.​

          Trump's win could lead companies to push up prices. Here's why. - CBS News

          For example, a $40 toaster oven would retail for $48 to $52 after the tariffs, while a $50 pair of running shoes would jump to to $59 to $64, according to the industry trade group. A $2,000 mattress and box spring set would cost $2,128 to $2,190, the NRF said.

          During President-elect Trump's first term in office, his administration imposed tariffs of up to 25% on more than $360 billion in products from China. President Joe Biden's White House kept most of those tariffs and added more onto goods including Chinese electric cars and microchips.

          Now, Trump has said he plans to impose a 60% tax on goods from China and a 10% to 20% levy on all of the $3 trillion in foreign goods the U.S. imports annually. Such sweeping tariffs would reignite inflation, as they would mostly be paid by U.S. consumers, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned, offering a general view widely shared by other economists on both sides of the political aisle.

            He must have underestimated their racism and misogyny.

              That reminds me... I saw gas for the cheapest I can recall in recent years this morning. They're already getting on board! WINNING!​

              • I mentioned seeing gas for $2.89 like a month ago. It's been falling since Memorial Day.

                The economy is in far better shape than anyone HERE cares to admit. But I guess we're about 2 months away from you finally acknowledging that.

                  • Now listen you halfwit, I didn't call it GREAT. But you talk as if we're in a second Great Depression. And it's far from fucking that.

                    In 2 months nothing will have changed but I fully expect you'll be hyping it up suddenly and lose all interest in egg prices.

                          • Mike's smart enough to know tariffs will raise prices, especially if Trump does slap them on literally all imports. But to admit that means admitting Trump is about to cause price hikes. And a grumpy public in 2026 must be lied to about who caused the second wave of inflation.

                              A majority of the country almost always says we're going in the wrong direction. And then ask them if they're happy with their personal lives, and 70-80% say yes.

                              It's like Congress' approval rating. It's always like 25%. And yet incumbents win all the time. Meaningless statistics.
