I really don't know what to think. Folks are saying the economy is good but people are still getting less for their dollar. Also, I'm still seeing businesses closing and plazas with vacant spaces. I'm questioning the news we are feed is flat out bullshyt.

Rent, mortgage, tuition, health care, child care is too high. Theres a dramatic uptick in homeless and fiends in America.I really don't know what to think.

Otherwise yeah Americans are consuming more than ever. People are going on vacations more than ever. With the gig economy it’s impossible to be truly unemployed or not be getting your hustle on.
A lot of people are living above their means. There is an expectation in basic lifestyle now and everyone wants to reach that.
A lot of this “grocery talk” is bullshyt been hearing that my whole life. I talk to people and they mad at an Arizona not being a dollar anymore. Dumb shyt. Dozen eggs is $3.79 and I’m in NYC that’s not wild.
In the past eras people weren’t spending as much as they do now on appearance, home goods, cars, vacations, phone upgrades, subscriptions. I don’t think ppl understand how good we have it compared to the past
All of a sudden the economy is good now that Trump won huh lmaoo
Come back in 2026 and let’s see where the economy is then

I work for Cargill and they just laid off 8000 people on Tuesday. I was worried but I made the cut.
yeah but that would have marginal increases, covid is the biggest one and we have moved on from that. Biggest issue now is shrinkflation, Trump is not going to create policies and go after those corporations doing that.Groceries are expensive for a bunch of different reasons
Mainly goes back to the simple law of supply and demand. If something disrupts a component of the supply chain, production costs go up so the selling price goes up as well
We've got wars, diseases, labor strikes, and natural disasters happening around the world where we source our food and purchasesd goods
It def sucks but it's kinda an inevitability though not helped by the pandemic we're still technically in.
That vote for trump aint finna poof all that away so just sit tight

Trump tells Time he's not sure he can get the price of groceries down:
"It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard."

@Ckawasaki
That’s 100% correct. Deflationary pressures are not desirable.
Proper policy should target income growth in excess of cost growth.
This is 101 stuff Sam - keep up.

bud. talk to Trump
“Prices will come down,” Trump told voters during a speech last week laying out his vision for a return to the White House. “You just watch: They’ll come down, and they’ll come down fast, not only with insurance, with everything.”

Here is the full quote:
Q: If the prices of groceries don't come down, will your presidency be a failure?
"I don't think so. Look, they got them up. I'd like to bring them down. It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard. But I think that they will. I think that energy is going to bring them down. I think a better supply chain is going to bring them down."

WATCH: “The root of inflation started with Trump.”
Pretty wild that only @mcuban and a few others talked about Trump’s OPEC 2020 deal getting Saudi Arabia & Russia to cut oil production, and the role it played in spiking gas prices — which spiked inflation for 2 years.

Trump in August: "From the day I take the oath of office, we’ll rapidly drive prices down, and make America affordable again. Prices will come down. You just watch. They’ll come down fast."
Trump now: “It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard."

If you campaign like this, eventually you gotta let the cat out of the bag that you can’t actually deliver.

Sorry you are still so triggered. Did you see our duly elected President this morning at the NYSE and on the cover of TIME Magazine? Optimism is in the air due the first time in a very long time 🫵

@NixxBlackwood
It seems like Trump’s perspective has shifted a bit from his confident predictions earlier this year! It’s no secret that reversing inflation and driving prices down is a tough challenge once they’ve already spiked. Economic factors are like a tangled knot—easier to prevent than to undo! However, even with the complexities, there’s always room for policies that can help ease the burden over time. The key is figuring out what levers to pull while balancing long-term sustainability. Here’s hoping the solutions come sooner rather than later!
