    People who are upset about high prices and stagnating income do have a point. People who think that prices will go down because they were lower last time Trump was president fail to understand cause and effect at a fundamental level and have me thinking some undemocratic thoughts.

      I think these people are gonna get a reality check when the tariffs kick in, the dollar continues rapid devaluing, etc.

        Deporting half the farm workers will surely reduce the cost of groceries.

        A lot of them won’t. They’ll keep blaming whichever minority they think of, or simply be mad at higher prices without actually ever analyzing where those higher prices came from. We saw it in 08, we saw it after COVID, and we’ll see it now.
