Are you implying Trump has something to do with all that?
Gas and oil are only going down because the Saudis are flooding the market it has NOTHING to do with Trump.
and for your info some food prices have been going up.
Get out and go shopping and see for yourself.
And NOT all of Trumps tariffs are in place just wait and see what the price of just about everything you buy does when they are.

And yet inflation is down and wages are up.

In the first quarter of 2025, median weekly earnings for full-time workers in the US were $1,194, a 4.8% increase compared to the same period last year. This increase outpaced the 2.7% rise in the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). https://www.google.com/search?sca_e...FHSY5IisQ1QJ6BAhGEAE&biw=853&bih=367&dpr=2.25

The Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, increased 0.1% for the month, putting the annual inflation rate at 2.1% in April 2025. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, https://www.google.com/search?q=inl...AgiwAgHxBeeKCMCTZtAy&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

It is interesting that the increase in Saudi oil production only came AFTER Trump went to SA and talked to them. .

Grocery prices experience biggest drop in almost 5 years

Several auto manufacturers are shifting some of their vehicle production to the United States due to factors like President Trump's tariffs and the USMCA trade agreement, which incentivizes increased domestic production. Automakers like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Honda, Hyundai, and Kia are among those making these shifts, with some planning to increase production at existing US plants and others investing in new facilitieshttps://www.google.com/search?q=aut...IIsAIB8QW7C9Ya8Gw3VQ&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

I've seen that too. Are you seriously claiming a doctor signed off on him or do you believe he simply lifted it from a parent or grandparent?

Physicians in most states can give approval for a handicap placard. Unlike what Toxic and FatLame are claiming, though, you can't just go to any doctor to get on Medicaid. They have approved doctors you have to see who decide on your eligibility, assuming you're applying because of a disability. You also have to jump through major agency red tape hoops. Once approved you have to keep going to their docs for the duration of your benefits.

With Brazil 50 percent tariffs watch the price of coffee shoot up
Click to expand...
Well wasn't it 10 percent on Columbia?
Well with doing a lot of things for the VFW and other org. in the area we buy a lot of coffee well it was 14.99 for a 42 oz. can 3 weeks ago and last week it went up to 16.99 a 2 dollar jump .
As I said before not only will prices of a lot of things go up the amount of the tariffs but IMO some companies will add a few percent to them and blame the tariffs and pad their bottom line , in this case it went up about 13%.
And as you said now with a 50% tariff on Brazil it will be going up even more.
And there are some MAGAS on here that think this isn't happening and are okay with it.
Well when they start to get hurt by higher prices they may wake up.

Funny, nine months ago you were spazzing out over "hyperinflation" and screaming how Harris would make it even worse. The only thing that's changed is who's in the WH. Does it hurt to be so hypocritical? It looks excruciating. lol

She goes to the food pantry and day old bread place and then there is the stale bagels from Panera

So there's that

Colombian coffee prices are rising due to a combination of factors, including increased global demand, weather-related production challenges, and supply chain disruptions. These factors are putting upward pressure on prices both in the international market and within Colombia itself. https://www.google.com/search?q=why...AgiwAgHxBZb3Qg7L1Sc4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

And the stupid cunt should also try to read the link I posted this morning showing that almost all able-bodied Medicaid recipeitns DO work, most FT. But that would ruin the Reichwing narrative that anyone getting public assistance is some (non-whte) lazy slacker who wants to live off the backs of "hard working Americans." Including kids and those in nursing homes.

Toxic and FatLame, like most MAGATs, are horribly worried that somewhere someone is getting something they don't have.
