Today happened to be the first time I've had to fill up my gas tank since Trump took office. As I was nearing the gas station, I was thinking, I haven't heard the Democrats complaining about fuel prices not dropping instantly after Trump took office as promised. So that made me wonder if gas prices were actually dropping, and sure enough they had, about $.30 a gallon, in my corner of the world. That happens to be the sharpest drop I've seen in quite some time.
So, since left wingers made it a point to piss and moan about egg prices not dropping when Trump promised pricing relief to Americans suffering from Biden's inflation. Of course, failing to mention that millions of chickens were slaughtered because of bird flu. Now, they'll give him credit for saving us $.30 a gallon. Right?
Now you could argue that there's no direct policy that could cause the drop this quickly, it must've been Biden's policies that made it happen. This is always the same story when Democrats lose, and Republicans come in and things improve but it's because of the Democrats' hard work in the previous administration. Sound familiar?
But of course, as usual, Libtard thinking doesn't work very well, and they don't understand the free market. Capitalism and economics completely elude the Democrats' thinking. Also, they've always struggled with the word "competition."
So, always eager to help the drones with some common sense thinking, I'll do my best to bring you along, no promises though.
When Trump wins an election, businesses can make a common sense prediction that the cost of doing business will be dropping soon. This will come in many forms, due to deregulation, tax cuts, and policy changes that can have a big impact.
For example, the immediate race to end of DEI policies created an almost instant windfall of revenue that companies could decide how best to use. Smart ones use those revenues for gaining market share from their competitors. Companies often use actual or anticipated increased revenue to be the first to lower prices before their competitors do attempting to gain loyal customers, increasing their market share.
The instant DEI bucks, plus new tax rates coming or not expiring, (as businesses had to plan on until sure Biden was defeated) lets smart businesses do the math before their less savy or stupidly partisan competitors do.
I believe this is why, after filling up the car, I stopped at the grocery store and noticed some lower prices. A few items' price tags had been lowered, but, I haven't seen so many sales stickers down the aisles in a long time. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but there seems to be a run on food bargains right now at my local grocery store.
So I'm curious if anyone else is noticing this. I know that the Libtards will say they have not and come up with stories of the opposite, probably more about eggs.
By the way, the inverse is true when Democrats win the White House, and businesses know things will be getting tough. Those same companies do their best to minimize costs and expenses and hold out as long as possible to maintain the edge and keep that all-important market share for as long as possible. Eventually, the weakest links break, and the price increases start relatively sharp and rapid.
I hope this helps some of the 'common sense challenged,' That's what I live for. lol
