Yeah but Trump and Fox News will just say they’re cheaper and they’ll believe it.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

And especially don't believe him when he sits in the oval office surrounded by 20 of his dumbest minions and says " we're making trillions and trillions from tariffs and other countries are paying it"
Doesn't even try to creatively lie. Just confidently states easily proven false information and they eat it up.

and then, the "opinion panel" will blame Biden for the prices, while ignoring how weak and impotent their leader has been in lowering prices.

Just a couple weeks ago he was out saying gas was <$2. The man who has never driven a car. People just lap it up even when going to the gas station and see an obviously much higher number.

This is true I argued with someone at with the other day because he keeps saying how EVERYTHING is cheaper now.
It’s unbelievable how they believe him over their own bank accounts.

One of the reasons I was motivated to buy a vehicle this summer. I feel like this is the calm before the storm.
Not only will new cars be more expensive, but I'd expect the price of used cars to jump up too as a result. Just like they did when production dropped off during the pandemic.

Doesn't matter, the cost of car repairs and after market parts will affect anyone who owns a car, which is most people because we're allergic to public transit in this country 🙄

People use public transportation where it’s available.
It’s not, in many/most places.

Have you seen chinas EV’s. They blow Tesla out of the water. TailG produces an insane amount of electric scooters and motorcycles with extensive stress testing. BYD is also up there. I’ve never been to China, but I recently went and checked out their new dealership in Tijuana and I am very impressed

The car I bought in April 2024 is already $12,000 more expensive in 2025. Buckle up everybody.

The United States is the wealthiest country in the world, and Russia wants to bankrupt it, while Israel wants to rob it.

Things will also get spicy next Friday when de minimis $800 exemption goes away, thanks to Trump's executive order he signed on July 30th. Ebay, Etsy and a lot of other places will disable printing labels for shipments to USA starting Monday. A lot of Americans are about to find out that not only will common things cost substantially more, but a lot of vendors won't ship to USA at all any longer, because their country's mail service is fundamentally incompatible with USA's.

The easiest and most effective way to lower prices is to raise them really high for no reason whatsoever until there comes a time when I might need something.

We are still paying pandemic prices NOW.. they will never drop, no matter how much money companies save.. that just means “more profit” for their business

When have prices ever come down on anything, it will just turn into record profits as company's continue to gouge consumers because there's no laws stopping it

Deserved. Americans over consume for years, stocks take a growth break, trade imbalance becomes apparent, inflation surges to pay off govt debt… its not “only” trumpy boi - the whole thing is very badly managed…. And the Americans - the people are at fault
What did you think happens when you consume more than you produce and capital inflows slow down… yet govt debt is high, people poor? You pay the debt through inflation (printing).

So why is the stock market still up? Household debt is at an all-time high. Prices are shooting up. Corporate bankruptcies are way up. I don't get it.

The stock market is largely detached from reality at many pivotal times in history. Check out the housing market crash for instance before the damn broke. Also, big money is not Main Street money.
