I thought it was price gouging? It's always something (D)ifferent
That doesn't change my comment. People are suffering and it's not getting better period. Nobody looks at a chart when they have to pay bills or buy groceries they look at their bank account. 2% inflation isn't good news when it's on the heels of historical inflation because those prices are by and large here to stay
There's a case down the road from me where they bought a house for way over, bulldozed the entire lot, planted palm trees (they all died too), and put it up for rent for more than the overpriced mortgage. An absolute scam of a price too! You can get a better and larger house for rent for half that cost around here.

Biden won't block potential port strikes on East and Gulf Coast
President Biden won't invoke a national security law to intervene if East Coast and Gulf Coast dockworkers go on strike at the end of the month amid an impasse in negotiations.
They are literally buying entire neighborhoods in some places in wake county. It's going to affect your generation the most which is my kids too. We have land they can build on but if they want to venture on their own I'm not sure how they will be able to afford anything nice AND affordable. It's sad really but that's what America First is about to many of us. Protecting the future of our kids who deserve better
One thing everyone here is leaving out of this equation is salaries for middle class Americans have remained stagnant and in several cases have reduced. We are all aware of the layoffs in the hundreds of thousands the past 4 years. Companies that are rehiring are rehiring at lower pay rates. I have seen contract positions that 4 years ago paid north of 100 per hour now pay 70 or less per hour. These are pre Trump rates. So you have inflation combined with lower salaries and high interest rates. This combination puts most Americans in a worse spot than they were in 4 years ago. I had a meeting today with a gentleman who has been laid off 3 times in the last 4 years and each time he gets rehired it is at a lower rate.
Not sure why folks can't understand this. 2% cost of living raises cover normal inflation. A 12% increase in inflation and a 2% raise if that means the math doesn't match. Small business owners can't give people a 12% raise and inflation isn't going to stop increasing. Trump can stop the bleeding and salvage some of his economy back but a lot of people are going to struggle for years because of incompetent people who don't understand economics
He will probably have to change his view on this. I think he will have to block it whether he wants to or not if it lasts over a week or 2.
How many trillions spent on the Democrat war on poverty the last 60+ years? And here we sit with blue city cesspools from coast to coast of crime, drugs and drum roll.....Right-Wing Attack On Labor Rights Gets Another Court Victory
Labor advocates have described such cases as a major threat to workers' rights.www.huffpost.com
Here is another bad ruling by a Trump judge. If he gets back in White House the poor in this country do not stand a chance.
I saw something this week that Harris is doing the same thing in rural areas.
There’s no pride to be had in 2.5 percent inflation. Things are still going up but not as much isn’t a great platform to have to have. As you guys have pointed out, it’s still inflation
