Why do people default to "food is going to be more expensive"?

Because they're retarded and don't know what they're talking about and just repeating what they're reading on their own algorithmically crated Twitter echo chambers.

Why do people default to "food is going to be more expensive"? We are blessed by many things, including mass amounts of farmland, and an entire coast that functionally doesn't have seasons. On top of only importing 15% of food to begin with.

Cheap Chinese shit is going to get more expensive, but that's really not the worst thing in the world

There was a lot of inflation under Biden because of money printer lol being the dominant economic ideology of libs.

This caused cons to point out eggs cost too much.

When libs overwhelmingly lost because they are dumb and everyone hates them, they pivoted to yackin' about egg prices, hoping to stick the side fixing the problem with having caused the problem.

Fingers crossed this orange retard gets shot if this tariff bullshit goes on for more than a month.
Creating a crash out of thin air to own the libz LOL!

Quoting your post in the hopes it is someday used in a court of lol before you're deported to CECOT

Sorry that spitting facts is "terrorism" now, I thought that's only a problem in shitholes like China?

You can point out how much food we produce until the cows come home (and get turned into steaks) and they'l try to compute this new data for a few seconds before crashing and restarting at TARRIFFS!!!!! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!

Get a job, nigger.

I mean, the eggs had more to do with the fact of a bird flu happening and a large number of flocks had to be culled. Inflation doesn't target just one specific product. And furthermore, egg prices went up because it primarily affected US flocks and we don't import eggs in from other places.

Inflation or not, egg prices would have spiked, the supply was cut to begin with.

Yes they do. They have infinite tariffs on American beef and chicken, for example.

Just because they say that their regulations are for “safety” instead of for trade reasons doesn’t make that true.

Case in point is "chlorinated chicken" even though the European Food Safety Authority concluded the chicken was safe.

The term is just used to scaremonger as if you have had milk in Europe, it's simply called milk not "irradiated milk".

The whole issue around chicken is to prop up European farmers inefficiency as they cannot compete with US prices.

I'm gonna oust myself: I am a tendie. Not a flaming pants-shitting tendie, but a tendie all the same.

I like their games, what can I say. I don't think the pre-order delay is going to amount to anything other than immense seething. If anything its a huge point of leverage for the US. Nintendo is literally Japans biggest company, they're not going to allow Tariffs to impact their revenue. They can sway things politically.

EDIT: Correction, they are the richest company by net cash holdings, nothing to do with size. Still, I think they will have some pretty big influence over Japanese politics

Did you pay your BASED and TRUMPPILLED 54% import duty on that high grade copium manufactured in China that you just huffed?

Go seethe and shit yourself somewhere else. Sorry I somehow missed the "ignore" button. I won't make that mistake again.
RIP Bozo, etc.

Yeah the egg prices have more to do with the bird flu culling, but they are held up rhetorically by both sides as a symbol of inflation. Politics is kabuki theater. The ground truth is that immeasurable damage was done to the economy under Biden, and three months of Trump is not enough time to even call anything an outcome we can judge.

Recessions are a myth and only happen if you choose to believe in them

Its like the Velociraptors, if we react to it then it strikes, if we just keep eating ramen and working stupid long hours like we already have been for decades and not complain to much, in less than 10 years we might have a country worth leaving to a new generation

In alternate timeline of Harris in office, I imagine the "woke" cult" would be moving to ban the GOP sooner or later, if not already.

Just like the "woke" in power are trying to do in the EU with parties deemed "extremist" over there, such as the AfD over in Germany.

That New York judge would've sentenced Trump to 70 years in prison for his 34 "felonies" and they would've likely opened up cases to imprison Trump's whole family. Banning the GOP as "extremist" would likely come after they finished containing the MAGA "threat".

Most companies don't have 4+ years of revenue saved to just sit around and do nothing in order to wait out the administration.

It's also a gamble because if Trump's term proves successful by 2028, even if they do wait it out, they could have to deal with President Vance, and he could continue using Trump's same carrot/stick approach.

I'm a Southern union member and most union members are for the most part socially conservative. The sole reason a lot of them vote Democrat is for that union support. They have the impression that Republicans want to bust unions or destroy unions. If the Republican party would swallow its pride and dial back its anti-union sentiment, maybe potentially endorse some pro-union policies, it would absorb a sizeable chunk of the Democrats voterbase, further pushing them down. It only takes one small step to absorb an entire group of voters.

Speaking of which, I've noticed since Trump got back in office there are more union jobs, especially in locals that are normally dead and have no work. I wonder why that is...

This is what Trump has been angling for; at the RNC, he invited Sean O'Brien (head of the Teamsters) to speak. Shortly before the election, the Teamsters revealed that 60% of their members were supporting Trump. During his Liberation Day speech, he also had several union workers there supporting him. Most manufacturing unions on principle, should be supportive of the Republicans right now because of Trump's economic policy.

He went all in on Egg futures.
He's ruined. It's all over.

He should've invested in burger suit production

There is nothing stopping Americans from demanding higher standard for their food

I don't think you guys can hold on to that hill for much longer with how your bureaucrats are still pushing for bug protein.

Nintendo is literally Japans biggest company

Nintendo (~$80 billion market cap) is literally less than 1/3 the size of Toyota (~$250 billion market cap).

Recessions are real, but it's like a hangover. You better just go through it because putting it off makes it worse. We've been putting it off for a long, long time.
