DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Palus Politicus Dow falls 1,100 points

In a long list of deflection, denial and just flat out Trumptard stoopid. This one is right there at the top. Congratulations.

flat out wrong-was pricing a project for award and the copper for the feeders went up 18.15% since late January-checked a couple hours later to try and lock in a buy and the price went up a little more-checked with the sales rep and she said everything is going thru the roof right now-there is so much uncertainty right now-went out to 4 other reps and prices were all higher-one of the reps stopped in this morning and said there is nothing they can do-it is another cluster with the tariffs-

the large rooftop unit that another trade is providing is coming from Canada-They are trying to see how much delay and cost are going to be added

Tell the markets.

We're getting a fence put in and every vendor we got a quote from had increased prices related to the tariffs.

No no no ... Its the media that made them do it.

Your cherry picked examples don't reflect the economy as a whole.

New data shows inflation is plummeting.

I mean, inflation was already dropping, before it rose and then dropped again.

Like I said before, if it’s dropping organically, then great. If it’s dropping because consumer confidence is also plummeting, then we’re in trouble.

Well, consumer spending falling off a cliff will have that effect on inflation. AND we should give full credit to Trump for shattering consumer confidence.

I am glad to see that some people have finally opened their eyes to the problem of inflation.

Better late than never. LOL

Sorry Peen, like someone else posted the other day, recently you really do parrot Trumptard nonsense.

See these two charts and look at the 5 year history of inflation. USA vs Europe.

I wonder if you can spot anything relevant?

I don't recall anyone ever saying inflation wasn't a problem. I think the cause of inflation was a deep discussion. Back during its height, we were actually experiencing inflation at more moderate rates than most of the rest of the world, IIRC. The basic issue, though, was that the entire world was lockstep in experiencing it.

The issue now with the markets is, last I checked, ours were sinking while international markets were continuing on an upward trajectory.

I think that's a problem.

Sadly they kept them closed to the fact is was a gobal issue while they screamed "Biden!"

I may or may not be hording.

So considering that they like quadrupled after agent orange took office, we’re half way back to normal prices? I guess when you are in MAGA, anything positive looks like a win.

'YTD' is doing the heavy lifting here.

Inconvenient Graph

If ABF is under control then we should see this trend continue back to normal prices.

I don't eat eggs regularly soI don't buy eggs except when I need then for cooking something. So I don't know what a normal price is. But this afternoon I was at the grocery store and took a minute to go look at egg prices here in Charlotte NC on March 21 @ 2pm (literally just got home)

Regular eggs were between $6 and $7.50/dozen
While organic eggs were $8.50/dozen

Seems expensive but like I said, I don't have a baseline
I will try to remember to look again in April

You know damn good and well egg prices were going sky high before President Trump was elected. I don't blame President Biden for the huge egg price increase. The increase was due to having to exterminate millions upon millions of laying hens in a short period of time to try to prevent infecting millions more chickens.

And MG88 wonders why there is no discourse.

NOPE. Eggs were 3.36 per 18 pk on January 20th. They’re around $6 now. Sell it to somebody buying Trump’s BS. I don’t buy anything he says.

You are all balled up with your numbers and or your years.
My advice for people is to do what i do, don't pay much attention to anything you say.

Wise counsel.

Yes, everyone should be aware that Prices on Eggs have been high for about a year or so. But like everything else with Trump, he says he's going to fix it on day one,, and he failed to do that. Again.

Inflation would be fixed, He failed to do that.... Again

The economy would be fixed.....He failed at that.....Again. In fact, it's gotten worse with all his Tariff BS.

For my money, he lied and got a Billionaire to front $275 Million for his campaign and god knows what else Musk may have done.

So there you have it

Just remember. On things of that nature, the fix happens before the results.

I am not making excuses. The fix happens, then the results follow. A situation such as the border can yield immediate results, and it has. Deporting people is a situation where you have to go find these people, which can take some time.

One also has to consider that prices are a different deal. Lowering inflation doesn't mean that prices will start going down. It means prices will decrease the rate at which they go up. On most non-commodity items prices aren't going to go down, at least if a fast, significant way. That is a deflationary situation, and deflation is a dangerous suck that needs to be avoided.

So there you have it.

That went out the window some time ago.

You should have explained that to trump and maybe he wouldn't have lied to the voters..............

“Starting on Day 1, we will end inflation and make America affordable again,” he said at a campaign event in August.

Prices almost never decrease at the rate they go up.
And OCD was not that far off on his prices on eggs-I was out at a couple stores yesterday and 18 packs are higher than $6 now. They have gone up an additional 25-40% in the last 2-3 months.

And for the other stuff-another round of tariffs are supposed to start in the next 10-15 days

Honestly this is the sort of stuff that distracts from the real issues.. jmo but when you start talking about "trump said on day 1" it just loses any meaning. What he said he would do really isnt that important .... What he has done/is doing - thats important. Todays economy is important and inflation caused by Trumps tariffs are important .... Global economic growth forecasts that are down by 8-10 percent and specifically due to those tariffs is important.

I don't actually disagree with you to some extent. It's just hard to ignore people making excuses that go against what the man said. It's as if they knew he was lying to them all along and still didn't care.

**they take him seriously but not literally.

Edit...

And you were the guy who said you were done with the Browns and could no longer support them, yet here you remain.

When are you going to live up to your promise?

That's a lie which is now not beneath you. I said that I was no longer a "fanatic" as I was before. And I'm not. The passion is not the same. You have now reached the same level as trump with his lies.

Futures down 1000; wonder why

it's a bloodbath in the markets right now. I feel bad for all the people retired and/or close to retiring. this is probably not the greatest feeling for you guys.

Many have seen this before and moved money out of mutual funds last month. It may be a rough ride for those who are staying in.

12:23 on a Monday-Dow down almost 1100 again.

So much winning

bailouts should be based on voting record in 2024.

jc

im glad people's accounts are gaining back the losses they took. not fully recovered, but maybe we get there.

I wonder if Trump and his boys are done with the rug pull. All this, and he's now walking back his stances on Powell and China, despite no deals being made. Prices are going up, tourism to the US is going down, American tourist abroad are less welcomed, American goods are being sold less, and our own allies are looking toward China and elsewhere for more economic stability. guess we're respected again...

Well you know, we all need to hurt for awhile until Trump, “waits to see what happens”, then reacts to it. Which is usually, and unfortunately too late.

I can’t wait for a decade to pass so we find out WHO made billions off American’s pain this time around. MTG already caught with her hand in the cookie jar.
