Grocery cost question

smh go back read again. He's promising nonesense to you, you are falling for it as it relates to the government and what he's going to do.

He didn't invent tsla, he didnt' invent spaceX. He lies about being a world class video gamer. He's just a salesman. He's good at it, and he got you pretty good.
You have no idea what you're talking about. Although he did not start Telsa, the owners where basically at a standstill with EV until they convinced a guy building space rockets to come aboard and send them off soaring (no pun intended). So there is that sort of mantra he can claim. The bold above is absolutely false, try again!

BTW- @hopefultiger13, so not to start a completely new thread. Ever tried the Delta 9 Space Cruise chews?
I have not. You've got to remember that it's totally illegal here in Idaho. So I'm a minimalist (which could also be an old guy's way of excusing himself from keeping up with the times)... I'll buy < 1 oz at a time (usually 1/4 to 1/2) and a pack of wraps. I toss the container and use a cheap sandwich bag... not even zip lock. That's it. No pipes, bongs, grinders, edibles... nothing. That way, a quick flush and I'm 100% legal.

That being said, I've tried edibles from friends quite a few times, but honestly, I don't really notice the brand. But I'm interested. Give me the low down!

I'll report back. I've tried D8's from the company that used to advertise here. Not bad. Waiting on delivery.

He claims to be the founder of TSLA. Thats a lie

You don't care that a man you claim has good motives and is the richest in the world, whom you are ready to sign over power of our governmetn to, with its access to our tax dollars, you don't care that he's a ****ing liar? Oh ok
Need a welfare check on @firegiver if this goes through 😂😂😂

Now he is just trolling you directly. He may as well have written "Hey @firegiver, ligma johnson"

Hilarious, love our new oligarch's sense of humor. Man its so great he gets my tax money.

how is he going to lower our grocery prices? Trickle down tax cuts? Where they get all the tax cuts, we get ours raised and they will decide who to give money to based on who glorifies them the most?

Is anyone going to address the grocery price question that started this thread?

I actually did research to answer your question but you won't read it!

Tariffs are going to pay for a lot of it. Spending cuts. Economic growth

See the Tariff & economic consequences thread. Have you heard about the External Revenue Service?

How is a Tarriff, which raises the prices of items coming into the country, going to lower grocery prices. How?

“It’s sort of nonsensical to say that I am worried about high food prices, so I want to put a tax on food imports,” said Clausing, who is also a UCLA economist specializing in tax policy. “As you tax them, the food in the grocery store absolutely gets more expensive.”

A huge proportion of food consumed in the United States — about 60% of fresh fruit and 38% of vegetables — are imported, according to Department of Agriculture data. Less than 1% of the bananas Americans eat are grown domestically. The vast majority are imported. The United States grows less than 1% of the coffee it consumes. It imports more than 70% of its seafood.

“Trump is using tariffs as a political device to signal his strong skepticism around globalization broadly — ‘America First,’ ” said Zandi of Moody’s Analytics. “That this policy stance is inflationary is very difficult for most voters to grasp, especially when they are being told the opposite.’'

I replied to your Tarriff thread, you misunderstood the point of that persons paper. THe whole point was to lower the value of the dollar to attack the trade deficit.
Lowering the value of hte dollar is literally inflation. I don't think we need more of that do you?

Well, we know you did not read the paper.

But, the tariff, does not have to raise the price of goods coming into the country. Read the paper, or better yet, I had AI summarize the paper for you and i posted it in that thread. Read it and get back to us.

Did you read the paper from the incoming, phd harvard trained, economist?

Again with your "experts say".

Im not giving you an anonymous kook and quoting them as an expert. This is somone withe credibility, who will be making the policy. So, this is the source we are discussing, because whether we like it or not he will be the one making policy. Let's debate his ideas.

The whole point of the paper is that you can implement tariffs without causing inflation or raising prices. Additionally, you can implement tariffs in a way that it is not zero-sum and the wealth of the tariffed nation decreases.

He admits it is a "narrow path", meaning that it's not guaranteed to work and there are several things that must be done in concert to make it work.

I read the paper and one of the things that he says that needs to be done to make it work is to gradually implement the tariffs instead of all at once. And guess what was reported by the likes of CNBC et al yesterday? "Trump to slowly implement tariffs 3-5% per month."

So, my guess is they are going to try and walk that narrow path.

Anonymous kook is a UCLA economist specializing in tax policy. Let's not get sidetracked by a murky, long-term tariff policy, Trump said grocery prices would be coming down quickly.

How?

Read the paper. It's probably too far over your head to be honest.

It's all placed out there for you to read. It's up for you to read and interpret how it will affect the markets and economy.

It's the incoming economic advisor. I'd listen to him before some random UCLA economist. One will have much more influence than the other.
 
I don't have time right now because I have a job. I just pop in and out for quick hits....but I assure you I will understand it,
OK, then take the time to read it when you can and then we can discuss about it. But it just seems like you are trolling when i can tell you haven't read the paper.

I think it's an interesting paper because the general consensus has been that tariffs are a zero-sum game. However, he has a theory that it is not and lays out exactly how he would implement his theory. It would make for an interesting discussion.
 
I read the paper, which is way over my head, honestly but the key takeaway from the summarizations is that U.S. economy bears the burden of providing global liquidity, which can strain its manufacturing sector and overall economic health.

More on the Triffin dilemma highlights the inherent tension between national economic policies and global financial stability when a single currency serves as the world's primary reserve asset. It underscores the challenges faced by the U.S. in balancing domestic economic health with its role in the global financial system.


I assume this is the reason for tariffs?
