There are always going to be some who profit due to misfortune. I think history has shown that over correcting to fix that just leads to different problems. Utopia does not exist. And like I said, I think it’s overblown. Kroger has a profit margin of less than 1.5%. If they’re price gouging...

I 100% agree with this btw.

The only “smoke” is that it was written by people who once had some roles in the administration and other places. If that’s what you consider to be accurate smoke, well, then Walz supports Hamas, and Kamala Harris supports Nazi’s.

It’s been talked about on CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, Fox News, by the chief economist for Obama. But yeah, it’s definitely just a “Trumper” thing on Fox News and AM radio. Liberals would never just regurgitate things. I mean, that would be so…what’s the word…weird!

Sorry, I forgot. When your side says something, it’s always true. When the other side says something, especially if you don’t like it, they’re lying. How could I forget these simple rules!

You and Fish have a habit of demanding answers without actually answering anything yourself. Btw, despite how much you want it to be true, Project 2025 isn’t a part of Trump’s policy. What’s your solution on the illegal immigrants? Nationalize all of them? Open borders? Continue to pay their...

“first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries — setting clear rules of the road to make clear that big corporations can’t unfairly exploit consumers to run up excessive corporate profits on food and groceries.”

Whoa whoa whoa. I haven’t called you any names. I don’t think I deserve to be called a vermin, but you do you. Trump and Vance have stated multiple times that only illegal immigrants will be deported. Trump is not my god, and I would very much appreciate you not saying that again. On...

I had a terrific long post and my freaking browser refreshed. This site is hell on mobile.

Okay Thriller. Please do give us the history of price controls and their effectiveness. Even Obama’s economists have said it’s awful.

Hi! I’m a conservative that just talked about how the tariffs were bad! And you’re calling illegal immigrants cheap labor? Good grief man, that’s one of the more racist things I’ve seen here. Gotta keep the illegals so we have cheap labor! And yes, I will call out price controls. They do not...

Well I’m not a politician, so I don’t care what’s going to get them more votes. I care about what’s going to work. And if a candidate is spouting off policy that has never worked, that’s not a winning topic in my mind. Maybe it is for you, you know, for the feels. But you’re oversimplifying a...

Nowhere did we discuss that I had a solution. But I certainly call tell from history past and common sense what doesn’t work. From Diocletian to today, humanity has dealt with rising and dropping prices, and never has price control worked.

Two things: 1) You are correct that in general, presidents don’t do a lot to seriously impact the economy. 2) The economy is not something that isn’t impacted by policy. An example would be the tariffs that Trump put in. While the goal was to increase American companies and goods, it...

Let’s take an example Fish. Kroger is a national grocery store. A corporate grocery store. Harris has said these companies are price gouging, and they need to put in a price ceiling (which again, has never worked). Anyways, Kroger has a profit margin of just under 1.5%. They make their money...

Price controls have essentially never worked as a long term strategy. Who the hell convinced Harris that was a good policy idea?

Rivalries hardly matter anymore when the players only stay 1-2 years.

He plays so smart and fluid. The spacing of the NBA game is much better for him. He really needs to get stronger/more physical, but the skills and BBall IQ are there. It will help if he gets to be the 5 rather than 4, I think.

Just lik e you’re is calling anybody who doesn’t like Kamala a racist. Tired and predictable.

This is true only if we believe he wasn’t essentially forced into this, which we know he was.
