But, Americans should really have a better idea of what is causing it to be able to make wise decisions. What is causing it? 1 Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 To be fair, when there's a shortage of everything, I'm not sure what China was expected to buy. 1 Link to comment

But there weren't any shortages during that time ... that happened after Mr. Trump fanned the flames of the non existent, "going to be over in spring/only 14 people sick" pandemic. 1 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 And yet, there are 5 open seats on the Fed board that Biden has nominated and Republicans refuse to even show up to the confirmation hearings. 2 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 I get that some companies have raised prices after having good profits and some are trying to demonize corporations because if it. But, seriously? Your using Starbucks as an example? News flash, it’s a luxury. If you don’t like spending $6 on a cup of coffee, don’t. 2 Link to comment

It's gouging, but it's also a luxury. I got fed up with Starbucks a few months ago and went full time to my French Press. It's a lot more work and takes ten times as long, but overall it's better coffee and it is SO MUCH cheaper. 1 Link to comment

Robert is being loose with the numbers also by talking % profit increase. He’s knows what he’s doing there. check out SBUX year over year stock price. Not much to crow about. 1 Link to comment

If I’m building yachts and I want to triple my price, why should anyone give a s#!t like this? 1 Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Robert Reich can get bent. His whole twitter brand is economic equality yet fought to kill affordable housing in his neighborhood. f#&% that guy. 1 Link to comment
