Harris campaign busted for taking out Google ad with Fake headlines. Her whole campaign is fake. She is not winning, do not believe the BS polls.

Funny thing is, most of the headlines are already friendly towards Mrs. Harris yet they still feel the need to change them.

The Taliban are celebrating 3 years in power, but they're not talking about Afghans

Becaaaaause she's not talking about prices caused by inflation, she's talking about companies that used inflation as an excuse to profiteer in various shady ways.

But realistically, don't expect prices to come down much.

Catastrophize much?

Why would inflation go up consequentially if Harris gets elected, when Harris' policies will closely emulate Biden's and inflation has been going down for over 2 years?

I think Trump is a colossal moron but even I don't portend of the end of the Union if he's President the next four years. If he is, we'll just have some **** to fix after that.
By what metric is inflation "down"? The rate of inflation is still going strong circa 3% and it's precisely for that reason that the Fed is holding the line on rate cuts. And that's on top of all the inflation that has been baked in since the seven trillion dollar money creation event of 2020.

The fed is going to drop rates imminently because the inflation rate of 2.5% - 3% is about where they want it to be.

And nobody ever claws back baked-in cost increases from periods of higher inflation. That's a pointless argument. To accomplish this, you'd need deflation, which no one wants.
Actually, we might need some deflationary actions to get things back in order...


Not an economist. Obviously. But what is bad about deflation? Doesn't that mean that the value of our dollar is higher and can pay for more goods??
This is an interesting subject. What Civ said in response to you is generally true…as far as it goes….but more context is necessary. It's worth noting that the central banks and governments hate deflation, too, and will always choose inflation between the two. That screws us because inflation works more for them and the wealthy, but not so much for us. It's also true that your hard assets (I.e. - your house) will decrease in dollar terms in deflation but another way of looking at that is that it is reverting to its true value…because as a hard asset, its role is a shield against inflation, not deflation. In the case of the latter, your best fiscal position is to raise and hold cash which is king during deflation. Money is universally tight in deflation, that's why cash rules! If all your cash is in the bank, beware of that, more bank failures coming is a distinct possibility. Use Weiss bank safety ratings or some other third party bank rating service to determine where to park cash outside of your house, if you must. Fwiw, if you're a veteran, Navy Federal Credit Unit has been seemed very safe by Weiss and others. USAA, sadly, not so much. Two bottom lines….your COLAs aren't keeping up with inflation because unlike 1980, inflation measurements are seriously dishonest and true inflation is much higher than government stats would have you believe. Second, deflation is great if you have means and low debt, horrible if you don't. The government and non-governmental entities are up to their eyeballs in debt, hence, they'll fight tooth and nail to head off deflation given that inflation is sadly, their chosen means, however grossly inefficient, to stay ahead of snowballing debt.

There is that talking point that lacks any data, facts, etc. Instead of blaming the administration and government for inflation (100% on them), create a boogie man and blame the private sector.

These are semantic word games to try to distract from inflation metrics correcting over the last 18 months and now being normal again.

The rate of price increases has been trending down for a year and a half.

Prices are still going up, and will always, unless we're in deflationary times.

Civ chime in on this too. Sorry being lazy and doing just a single post to both of you. Wouldn't the relative value of the dollar be better in the long run though?? Or am I just totally not getting it. I understand during the deflationary time it's gonna suck for most people. But at the end of the period wouldn't people be in a better position with a higher valued dollar? Or is the value of dollar not changed in all of this?

Yes, your dollar would go further but there would be so much collateral damage to the economy that most normal people's wherewithal in the aggregate wouldn't experience a net benefit of their relatively stronger dollar.

Like Souljer said, cash would be king (not big depreciating and illiquid fixed assets like land, cars, houses, etc.) and you could definitely buy more with any cash you did have.

The confounder though is that most people aren't sitting on piles of cash.

In deflationary times there would also be reduced consumer spending due to fear or job loss; worse company performance due to aforementioned consumer spending cuts; diminished stock market gains due to consumer-driven businesses underperforming, a diminished real estate market, and on and on.

Basically the only good thing about that whole situation is that if you're cash-heavy you'd be operating from a position of strength. You could buy more, buy distressed assets at discounts and hold them for future gains, etc.

But the stats on Americans' savings habits and wherewithal are sobering. Only around 10% of Americans have more than $2k in savings so the vast majority of America is not well-suited to take advantage of a stronger dollar but weaker job market.

" Under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which was intended to cap out-of-pocket drug costs for Medicare beneficiaries, insurers are poised to significantly hike monthly premiums, with average bids for Part D plans expected to triple by 2025.

In response to potential voter backlash, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) rolled out a three-year "demonstration project" to subsidize these premiums, aiming to keep them artificially low. However, despite the appearance of relief, some critics are saying that taxpayers will fund a dramatic increase in subsidies from $30 per recipient per month in 2024 to $142.70 in 2025"

Yeah but on the backside of it once the deflation period is done. It sounds like it would be better in the long run since the dollar would be higher value. I admit during the period it's gonna be a major **** show. And hurt basically everyone. But once it's stabilized would it be better? Or am I just thinking too simple that a stronger dollar would be better

I heard about this this morning. Had it been me, I think I would have started shooting back and been well within my rights. Of course we have no rights anymore, but I would have been firing back. This is BS!

Probably because it is BS.

Are there any outlets other than social media randos named Bubblebathgirl reporting it?


https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/minnesota/news/light-em-up-video-appears-to-show-law-enforcement-shooting-paint-rounds-at-citizens-on-their-porch/

So it had nothing to do with COVID or Tim Walz like Bubblebathgirl "reported."

Got it.


What was the curfew for?

This.




Here is what you posted earlier in this thread:

"We absolutely want our politicians moderating their views."

Trump is a politician. He not allowed to change his views?

As you have said when more information/data is known of course.

I genuinely have never understood why people think the government/politicians are trying to help them. These entities are power hungry. All they believe in is control, if you don't believe it, just look at the thousands of laws/regulations we have on the books. The Fed certainly was NEVER intended to be as large as it is.

Ronald Reagan was right.

Look at the 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto. It essentially calls for an all-powerful government to take over every aspect of society -- the banks, schools, communications (FCC with television/radio/etc), agriculture (Dept of Agriculture, BLM, etc). And it's way beyond that, with the government now trying to totally control the health care system of the nation, all foods and drugs (the FDA), etc.

We have been taken over, covertly for decades, by ideological Marxists at every level of society -- academia, Establishment media, government.

This all is sold, of course, as "reasonable" because the elites that run the government are always "ever-benevolent" and could only possibly be "looking out for the best interests of the masses", right?

But, of course, the real reason that the Marxists want a MASSIVE, All-powerful government that controls every aspect of your life is for malevolent/nefarious purposes -- to dominate and control the masses, and exploit them financially and steal/confiscate their wealth and effectively enslave them, and prevent them from being able to escape their slavery.

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, &c, &c.


The Founding Fathers wanted a very small government of LIMITED powers. Not some monstrosity of a government that almost has UNLIMITED powers to do whatever it wants. We need to re-structure our government, so that it is limited even further, and has no power over vast areas of our lives -- such as no power to mandate how we educate our children, no power to mandate vaccines in children or adults, no power to require licenses for businesses, absolutely no power whatsoever to regulate or limit access to firearms in any way, no power to levy income taxes, no power to levy property taxes and deny people their right to own land and property, etc.

We need to abolish the Federal Reserve Bank system, Dept of Education, Dept of Health, ATF, FBI, the social security system, etc. The federal government should only exist to protect the border and govern the military, and maybe a few other things. State governments should handle most other functions of government, which should also be very limited, and mostly consist of maintaining a police force and courts in order to keep law and order and prosecute criminals.

I don't really believe in this idea that our leaders are all communists.

What I do believe is they are all power hungry and people who believe they know what is best. They created an intelligence agency that is the most powerful government entity on the planet. They created laws that make it legal for the feds to spy on you without a warrant. They created so many laws and regulation's that all of us are breaking one as we speak. What better way to keep people in check than by having a method in which you can threaten an arrest at any given time?

We went from little taxation to being one of the most heavily taxed nations on earth. That doesn't help anyone. They pretend it's to "pay for government programs and infrastructure". We all know that is a crock of ***** Taxes are all about control.
