Well I have a different opinion as I can't trust a convicted Felon. That like trusting your next door sex offender not to attack your daughter.

And trusting environmental lawyer with no medical experience to run our health care is really dumb.

But what happens I just staying under my rock. All the talk of Tariffs and attacking our closest neighbors has cause to consider just closing my business and let the crooks just screw the customers. I can't see where pissing our closest trading partners is going to be good.

Some my vendors are already pricing in the tariffs. An example is the Xtreme PTO X0391. Back July 24 it was listed at 224.86 now the new price file I just load has it at 296.14.The X0065 was 249.70 is now 329.26. And X0659 was 376.66 is now 502.22. So enjoy all the new price hikes.
So you prefer a president that is on video multiple times sniffing little girls, and his own daughter has made it public that her own father was inappropriate with her or a president that is technically not a convicted felon until sentencing which has a very good chance of being overturned and dismissed.

Well you can believe what you want about DJT but I cite two very recent examples of him jumping the gun and posting before he had all the facts just to rally up his supporters.

The New Orleans attacker was an US citizen radicalized via Social Media not an illegal migrant. And the lack of water in LA was caused the lack of electricity caused by the electric company cutting it off. The water system becomes a gravity fed system without pumps. Now the electric company was trying to prevent fires from sparks by the electric arcing. So it is one of those Damn if you and Damn if you don't cases.

I have lived in CA and the Santa Anna winds are a major problem during this time of year. Plus with climate change which many can't see happening this year normal rainy season has been lacking. Then of course the homes and businesses are built with flammable materials they become a tinder box that cinders can easy ignite when driven by 50 mph winds.

The water problem that keeping hydrants from not having enough pressure is like the lawn mower that can't cut grass when it engine is not running.

Come people use your brains that was given to you or do you have brain rot.

The fact is that inflation is eating our lunch. If people actually believe that inflation was only 9% at the peak in recent years, I have to laugh, a lot. 9% is basically another sales tax. If prices of goods and services had gone up by 9% it is essentially a double sales tax. There is no way that people would be hurting and complaining this much if that were the case. The government is cooking the books on the numbers. 2/3 of average households cannot afford an additional $600 emergency that arises. There is a term for that, it is called being broke. People are genuinely struggling in this economy. It is good to be debt free, have retirement savings, and be a cash buyer and I am very grateful indeed.

Now as for inflation I have seen prices go thru roof on some things. Some of it just greed and some it is actually supply and demand issues. Take for an example back in the first decade of the 2000's 80/20 ground beef was being sold for as little as $0.80/lb, now you are lucky if you find it for $3.99/lb; most time it is above $5 around here.

And going meatless doesn't help either as those veggies are also out of sight when compared to the early 2000's.

But if what I am seeing in the latest price files I am loading here for parts is any sign of what is to come we are in for major financial pains. For example the 25% increase in those Xtreme PTO clutches I just loaded yesterday. Now that is inflation. So far I have seen in the line of price reductions. Basically once it is up it is like fuel prices they are very slow to drop.

And our Prime interest rate is low compare those countries where it is 45%.

And learning to stay within your means is the only way to sorta keep your head above the water line (ie drowning in debit line).

Well META has given in to the right wingers and no longer fact check posts. So yet another source misinformation is coming online. The Devil and his demons is winning the fight against the truth.

What is the point of having things if they are not reliable getting the true facts? It looks we are going into the age of false information and that we are to guess at what is the true information.
You mean the people who make up the lies fact check their own lies. Boy that is getting to the truth of the matter.
