People are waking up to the Karen types. 9 years of blaming everything on one guy is wearing incredibly thin and it's the Karens who are finally being seen for the disruptive wastes of skin that they are.

Which is justice served I reckon. Let them REEEE impotently, they're good at doing that. More and more people are waking up to them and deciding they don't want to be associated with such losers... but I believe that was foreshadowed with the title of this thread, no?

I heard the people were all #PISSED! because Beyonce didnt sing and boo'd Kumala!

Just my opinion, of course.

and that right there tells you everything you need to know.

Harris wants beyonce and others like her to convince complete idiots who know nothing about how government works to simply follow her lead.

Vote Kamala because people who cannot identify with your daily lives on any level said so!

Democrats need that type of shit to push someone this inept over the finish line.

whereas on the right, we are smart enough to know that Trump is far from perfect but is certainly the lesser of two evils when pitted against that cackling buffoon

Yeah, just like the Taylor endorsement did.

Quote from: caskur on October 23, 2024, 06:16:47 AMI thought democrats spent more and wasted money.

TRUMP said on one of his speeches he was going to clean up government waste.

He hates the thought Bozo Biden wasted 80 million dollars of military money in Afghanistan.

The Democrats are more wasteful. But, Republicans in congress usually go along with excessive Democratic spending.

Quote from: DKG on October 23, 2024, 07:00:09 AMInflation is caused by an increase in costs.

Getting the cart before the horse, mate. Inflation promotes an increase in costs, not the other way around. Basic economics of supply and demand. An increase of money in circulation without a corresponding increase of things to spend it on leads to an increase in prices. More money competing for the same stock level, price go up.

You want price go down? Stop printing money, make more shit. If you can't make more shit and someone else can, they get to undercut your price and you go hungry.

Come on, you saw this crap in action during the lockdowns, don't tell me you don't know how this game works. Remember how much people were prepared to pay for shit tickets when they were flying off the shelves during lockdowns... and work backwards from there.

You'll get another reason to hate Justin Truedeaup, I promise.

Trump is trying to reverse a clear slide toward oblivion.

And the funny thing about it, the slide will destroy the entire western world if he or someone like him doesn't do it, the entire western world is a failed state.

If Trump isn't elected, we're going to be physically fighting one another for any resource very soon.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on October 21, 2024, 04:09:12 PMInflation is caused primarily by corporate greed.
Even Kroger had to recently admit they raised prices beyond what was necessary just because they could, and wanted to jack up higher dividends for their shareholders. As all big corporations do. If a company is both buying back stock and laying off workers it's pretty clear they're operating in service to capital, not consumers.

If inflation and corporate profits both spike at the same time that shit ain't happening because of wages (which are undeniably far behind productivity and the cost of living) or anything else having to do with consumers. It's simply a wealth transfer to the people who need it the fucking least.

Inflation is caused by an increase in costs. That could be due to taxes, wages, supply disruptions, energy. There are other possible reasons, but those are the main ones.

Loblaws is by far the biggest retail grocer in Canada through their various brands. Their profits have soared over the past half decade. But, their profit margins have remained fairly constant over the past decade. In other words, their sales volume has increased, but their profits per item sold have not.

Trump is not going to waste hundreds of billions transferring wealth from the middle class to Dem friendly econ elites in the form of green subsidies. That is pure crony capitalism.

On the other hand, Trump will not make cuts to infrastructure(real infrastructure, not the waste in Biden's bill), social security benefits, Medicare, or Medicaid. He may even extend tax credits for parental leave, child care and subsidize prescription drugs. He is not a fiscal conservative. But, he does know that there is waste in Washington-lots of it too. Can he get Congress to cut the waste? That will be hard as they haven't cut anything since the 90's.
