Real inflation up over 30% since Biden took office

So is every educational institution. Are you going to start rallying against universities and collages because they turn out productive members of society who go on to start huge company's?

What's your stance on capitalism as a whole I wonder?

I was pointing out to you as well that the wef is for stakeholder capitalism not shareholder. Have you noticed a shift recently? I have.

Stop moving goal posts.

Sure don't support CRONY CAPITALISM which is what the WEF is all about.



We're done.

In the British Isles the inflation is totally out of control. Everything is going up through the roof and the best of this is the govt wants to blame the current wars in Russia.....................

They are skipping the number 1 and 2 reason

2 Brexit

The Forum suggests that a globalised world is best managed by a self-selected coalition of multinational corporations, governments and civil society organizations (CSOs),[5][6] which it expresses through initiatives like the "Great Reset"[7] and the "Global Redesign".[8][9] It sees periods of global instability – such as the financial crisis of 2007–2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic – as windows of opportunity to intensify its programmatic efforts.[1

A world uniparty. They are the borg.

You and no citizen around the world EVER gets a say.

I'm not moving goal posts. I'm not even arguing with you. I'm just asking questions... I'm sorry you had to learn the true face of global capitalism like this.

Are you talking about Command Capitalism or Free Market Capitalism?

You're gettin a little too specific here. Free market capitalism doesn't really exist I the grand scheme of economics. Technically all forms of capitalism is "command" capitalism, it takes two people to execute a deal, but it takes kne person to demand the supply.

What do you mean by command capitalism?

a reply to: Grambler

i can normally follow what point you are trying to make. i am unsure what you are saying here.

did the biden administration pass legislation that directly influenced the rising inflation?
if so, what legislation was it and how did it affect the inflation?

This is really not 45 or 46 in its entirety. This falls at the feet of Congress. Now, did 46 repeal quite a few things through EO's that are affecting this? Yes.

You can blame Trump but life was good until COVID. Very Very good and our economy was booming.

Anyone who says this is a global issue and not caused by the US is arguing for smaller government regardless where you live.

During covid, government basically ran the means of production.

And they did such a piss-poor job of it that we are heading towards massive inflation and a depression.

THIS is what happens when government is in charge of things.

Everyone should be screaming to reduce the size and scope of government, but the evil left/authoritarians are doubling down and saying government can dig you out of the hole THEY dug by digging deeper.

I remember the 70's gas shortages and price increases. If you don't have a locking gas cap - get one.

Two year treasury yield just rose above ten year borrowing costs. That is a yield curve inversion. Look for higher than expected interest rate hikes in the coming months. Most professionals consider this to be a warning that full blown recession in possible within the next year or two. Of course, that could change sooner or later depending on what actions are taken. With this administration, I would bet it will be sooner rather than later.

All Roads Lead to Rome Oil.

Everything, nearly everything, is dependent on the price of crude oil, from production through transportation of any goods.

My view is that they got a bit too overzealous/out over their skies in their parabolic oil price increase program.

But everything's fine, no need to panic! I'm sure we'll have the Biden apologists in the thread presently, to defuse the concern with maudlin anecdotes about how their lives are fine, just fine.

Well .. every day & all day I see cars lined around Starbucks to buy 6-10 $ cups of brown water .
Americans have a spending problem & that problem is what drives this economy.
My significant other & I have two new iPhones with only 1 gig of data to share between us with unlimited talk & text @ 112.00 per month( both phones) including phone prices.
We have high speed internet @ 65.00 per month with no cable television.
We have Netfix only @ 18.00 per month
We only go to a restaurant twice a month as a treat.
We buy organic & high quality food that we cook ourselves into fantastic meals.
We enjoy music , games , movies on our own hifi & tv.
We budged 800 dollars per month for two car payments at any given time.
We purchase lightly used clothes & shoes from second hand resell shops.
We travel , camp , swim , and play outdoors.
We enjoy arts & crafts .
Own our home & have savings.
It is not fun to pay more for food or gas right now , but we can weather even more inflation if need be.
I hope Americans wake up to the fact that most families pay 400-600 $ per month for phones , internet, cable tv & streaming services.
The Average American eats out 3-5 times per week and spends way to much on alcohol.
Americans are far from suffering, but imo are spoiled on credit card debt which my family has zero of.
We have generations of kids who as adults collect action figures , video games & manga .at gold prices to own .
A close friend of mine just bought some 150.00 $ Transformer robot thing as they complained about gas prices ??
Americans need a huge wake-up call & it will be ugly , but consumerism needs to be cut in half.
Buy land if you can .. start by unsubscribing to all your media streaming services , quit Starbucks & limit your restaurant purchases. It seems silly , but very soon you will have savings & own things of real value .
Learn to cook , arts/crafts , games & camping or what ever thing that only requires an initial investment, but pays enjoyment long term .
It’s perspective & complaining about not being able to afford useless crap is silly .
Most poor people I know have the latest iphone , 150.00 $ shoes on , out to eat often , 3-5 streaming services & all complain about being broke ? Lol

Republican voters must be very smart.
All I heard was if you vote for Biden gas will increase and crime will increase.

So far they are 100% correct.

I was also told that a vote for Biden will make the country less safe from Islamic terrorism.
Let's hope that egg doesn't hatch

The ignorance of Democrat voters is astounding.
Did they think they were playing candy land ?
Votes matter and their vote is destroying the country

The shipping/logistical problem is bigger than is being let on.

They never solved the port back-ups, they are just keeping the boats past the horizon.

It's also being used to manipulate the GDP.

Any reasonable person can see we are in a recession.

But the current regime is intentionally deflating import numbers to keep GDP above negative. Because 2 consecutive quarters of negative growth = recession. They don't want to go into the mid-terms with an official recession.

This is why the regime has been visiting the port of LA at the end of the last few quarters, to ensure book cooking.

The transportation secretary is an experienced genius. Wait he has no idea about transportation. He is gay though, so he gets the job.

It's no longer about the best and brightest....how much ky jelly you by a year goes a long way.
