all of this was self-inflicted the tariffs have to be top 3 dumbest economic policy in American history Iran didn’t attack us, was not an imminent threat, and was not creating a nuclear weapon…he started a war with them anyways, and now gas prices are soaring for the billionaires and insider traders tho, this is the golden age now they want to cut federal healthcare spending even more to help pay for this war, a move projected to kick 300k more Americans off their healthcare maybe people will finally learn that their vote has consequences, and not voting has consequences as well…but I’m not holding my breath
100% Reeko...............we have no one to blame for any of this except for the orange turd and his party allowed him to do it. Higher prices at the pump (maga mom says its temporary), higher prices at HEB (maga mom says it's necessary to get MFG jobs back), 80% of the world hates us and the other 20% are laughing (maga mom says, merica first), our trade partners will be at historically low for the next decade (maga mom just spouts some nonsense like the orange turd)
Johnny.. "Mommy, why can't we grill hamburgers instead of cheese sandwiches?" MAGA mom... "I told you. It's a small sacrifice, so we can donate all we can to help President Trump save our country."
Yeah, no time to defend all those terrible economic takes. When things get bad, go attack California, a city, a Black person, or a democrat ... in another thread! Woot!
The fact that you can close your mouth and still breathe probably puts you in the top quartile of intelligence now. And that should tell you how to calibrate expectations for this great country of ours. Sigh.
Amazon adds seller surcharge as oil spike from Iran tensions drives logistics costs higher Amazon is shifting higher fuel and logistics costs onto third-party sellers as oil prices climb The company said it will begin charging a 3.5% "fuel and logistics-related surcharge" on sellers who use its fulfillment services starting April 17 in the U.S. and Canada, citing higher transportation and shipping expenses. https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/amazon-seller-surcharge-oil-prices-logistics-costs
US inflation seen spiking in first snapshot since Iran war Oil prices have been roiled by five weeks of conflict, climbing to almost $120 a barrel last month as key Middle East energy assets came u nder attack and Iran effectively closed the critical Strait of Hormuz, creating what the International Energy Agency called the biggest supply disruption in the history of the market. OPEC+ warned on Sunday that damage to Middle East energy assets will have a prolonged impact on oil supply even after the Iran war ends, as it approved a symbolic increase in output quotas for next month.
People never learn. They'll vote to booth the Republicans out of office, only to then do it to the Democrats again. It's cyclical. It doesn't matter. People don't really care about anything else except the money in their pocket. You can't educate the population. During Biden, economy was solid, but people don't care about their 401k growing, they just knew they had less money because eggs and some other products were more expensive.
At that point I will severely curtail my Amazon spending. Amazon makes more in one hour than most of us will see in a lifetime. I pay yearly for prime, and shipping is the reason I do it. Let Bezos suck it up for a few months. He has the cash unless his new trophy wife bought another yacht over the weekend Looks like no more insanely ridiculous purchases in the future. I guess this bad boy is just going to have to wait.
Looking at hotels in downtown Fort Worth for a stay in a few weeks. Up $100+ per night over what they were a year ago.
Flight I was looking at to San Diego went from 531 to 930+ in 4 days. I guess this solves the TSA security lines.
