lol stores are gonna start getting cleaned out on the regular. And they’re gonna stay empty.
Are we winning yet?

Nah. We’ve already seen businesses implementing digital price tags for just this occurrence.
Your stores will stay stocked. You’re just going to see merch doubling and tripling in price as inventory depletes.
Eventually, you’ll walk into a store, see a single pair of jeans on the rack, and read a $1000 price tag on it because it’s the last pair of that style in 20 miles.
Its also what the stores voted for. Almost every major corporation wanted Trump and heavily lobbied for him to get in. News outlets, grocery chains, retail stores, tech companies, every large corporation wanted this.
Source?
Source is all news from the last year? There are hundreds of stories on who contributed to his campaign and caved to his policies.
If true, then parent should not have a problem providing a source supporting their broad claim. Parent claimed “Almost every major corporation wanted Trump and heavily lobbied for him to get in. News outlets, grocery chains, retail stores, tech companies, every large corporation wanted this.”
EDIT: I’ll add that I think that there are probably pretty good reasons for this not to, in fact, be true. It would be quite unexpected for all industry to support one candidate; normally, there is a split, with donations from, say, the finance industry tending to benefit Democrats in recent years. Trump’s 2024 campaign, unlike his 2016 campaign, had quite poor financial support, falling far behind Harris in political donations; Trump’s weakness there was why Musk was in a position to bail Trump out with his colossal expenditure. In recent years, the number of major news outlets that are viewed by Republicans have been quite concentrated into a few sources, especially Fox; Democrats have consumed a broader range of news media; and one wouldn’t normally expect news media primarily consumed by Democrats to be supporting Trump.
But, hey, I’m willing to see the parent’s source material if they have it.
Can you provide a source proving you were born yesterday, or can we all agree that’s a generally reasonable assumption?

I very much hope I do not need to explain NewsCorp’s ‘political contributions’ of all kinds to you.
Or WaPo, which Bezos personally intervened in, to prevent them from endorsing Kamala.
… The person you are incredulously doubting made a broad and general statement that is broadly generally true, but I am guessing you would want a comprehensive analysis of every company and corp in the US to validate the truth of it…
… When, as demonstrated above, it takes an entire organization to figure this shit out for even a few major corps, because our laws regarding political donations have been fucked since Citizens United, and you have to do a massive effort of sleuthing to untangle the nested shell corporation like structure that is now commonplace in PACs.
Costco is probably the only major retailer that leans more Dem than Rep.
…In the event qualifications are relevant to you for assessing claim veracity, I all say this as a person who has degrees in Econ and Poli Sci, one of many specializations being Poltical Economy, who has worked for MSFT and a Fortune 500 import export middleman firm based out of Seattle that is 100% certainly shitting its proverbial pants right now.
You can provide a link if you want too. That is not one.
You can eat a bag of dicks
Unfortunately, it seems this needs to happen to wake people the fuck up.
Another article today about people literally having no concept of why the websites they’re shopping on is suddenly way more expensive (and explicitly showing the tariff costs).
People are surprised by this, and many of them have literally never even heard the word “tariff” before.
And the illiterate yokels in 12 months time: “Tariff?! That sounds like one of them thar a-rab names!!”
I didn’t vote for this.
Neither did I but 79 million idiots did, and 88 million didn’t vote at all.
In a sense 167 million people wanted this shitshow so here we are.
Buy a gun, ammo, and canned goods. Form support groups with like minded people in your areas.
This summer is going to be a hootenanny of epic proportion.
88 million didn’t vote at all
Sorry. I asked for a ballot with a non-genocidal name on the ticket and was told I needed to leave the building.
Friend tried to vote, but she didn’t have a DL yet (chronic Metro rider) and her student card didn’t count as a valid Real ID.
Mom voted in a suburb that was gerrymandered 55/45 Republican a few years earlier. She got to vote by mail because she was a senior citizen. But nobody younger than her has that privilege anymore.
Then there was the woman who issued a provisional ballot because she was out on parole and wasn’t sure if she could legally vote again. Police arrested her for it.
Maybe there’s a reason turnout has been falling that goes farther than “people had a case of the stupids suddenly”.

Dude. He totally showed 'em. So much pwning was had that Nov 5th I can tell you!

Man, you showed them, trump has been great for gaza… how’s it been working out for you?
Here’s the thing though, the genocide was bipartisan. Voting literally didn’t affect it. Also this hold hold your nose strategy doesn’t seem like it actually works. Just straight up does not win elections and shame and voters isn’t working. You should change up your tactics on the off chance we ever have elections again
the genocide was bipartisan
Liberals don’t want to hear it. They refuse to believe their side was involved in the bloodshed.
They’ll heckle you and downvote and call you a Russian bot for speaking any kind of truth on the Dems’ enthusiastic participation in the Holocaust.
It’s like trying to talk to a Catholic about the Nazis or the priest sex scandal. They will not listen.
Lol so you thought that trump would be better? Man you really showed everyone… I’m sure Gaza is all “thank Allah they didn’t vote in genocide joe again, it’s so much better with trump”
You were told not to vote as part of a campaign to get liberal voters to stay home. You fell for it.
It was a campaign to stop a genocide. Harris chose to throw her campaign instead of winning votes.
Can’t be reiterated how many times Harris attacked her own base and ate away at the coalition Biden had used to win four years early.
But it’s never the politician’s fault for alienating the voters. It’s always those stupid disloyal single-issue anti-genocide voters.
The Democratic party was told not to run disastrously unpopular candidates, they did so anyways, then blamed the electorate for their defeat.
Seems like you fell for it.
I voted Harris in 2024, don’t assume what you truly don’t know.
Excited to revisit the discourse on price gouging for the next few months.
There is no price gouging in U.S.A.
The Orange King has invited you to Lake Gitmo.
if you need, or might need tech in the near future, BUY IT NOW. not just because of the price hike, but because there won’t be anything left to buy
Lean inventory and just in time supply management for the win!
I suspect many more Americans may actually start to feel feelings about Trump when they can’t participate in the great American pastime of buying more shit.
I am using a portion of my savings to prepare before things run dry. Some extra food, but mostly renovations or big ticket items. New sink and a bidet toilet, my first ever smartphone, physical cash in the form of Euros, a 24tb drive to prep for replacing my Windows OS with Linux, a gun club membership and ammo, ect.
Before Trump was a thing, I was planning on just sitting on my life savings and let it grow, only touching it when I hit 60 or 70. That is out the window, since odds are that Trump’s regime will kill me for being an progressive autistic. Fun times. 😩
Yay, another COVID style supply chain apocalypse. This time brought on entirely by American conservatives and their lack of brain cells.
Buy exactly ZERO gifts for your conservative family members for their bdays and Xmas and make sure to tell them it’s because of the new Trump Tax.
the last time was also conservative caused too.
Question for the class: aside from the obvious like computers and technology, what category items are we expecting to be hit hardest? Or to ask pointedly, what items that we NEED might be affected?
The ones you don’t think of, naturally.
Literally anything imported. Which is virtually everything.
Man. Am I ever so fortunate to being a minimalist. Wtf is everyone buying all the time?
think of shit people actually need.
band aids? China
Peroxide and Rubbing alcohol? China
gauze? China
IV tubing and equipment? China
This ain’t a, “I can’t buy fruitless shit anymore” kinda crisis.
It’s the big one, homie.
So, is this not a wake up call for every country to not be reliant on one or do you believe everything should be made in China?
I don’t believe our system with China was sustainable even before Trump. Can already stressed Americans handle high prices and no relief from their employers or government, and no stock for the next 10 years until we get manufacturing in gear, not that we will?
soon have only about 7 weeks
I’ll soon buy a house in maybe up to about 6 months or more, possibly less. Give or take a few months. Definitely sometime around then. Or after. Or before.
Uprisings eminent.
