    This is what happens when you continually increase taxes.

    Sales of their post popular item is down 26% since 2019.

    What is a 7-Eleven's most popular item?

    Cigarettes.

    Average tax on cigarettes is $3 a pack.

    THIS IS WHY WE SHOULDN'T INCTREASE TAXES ON BILLIONARES! It will kill them!

    I was at Safeway yesterday, looks like I was wrong. Trump did fix the cost of eggs.

    If there are none to buy, they can't be too high. (Hey, that rhymes!)

    I don’t know what this is supposed to mean or how it affects the price of eggs.

    Chicken layer pellets and scratch affect the price of eggs....my cost of feeding chickens has more than doubled and it's definitely price gouging because nothing in chicken feed needs to be imported. I blame price gouging ..not the govt for the price of eggs. I doubt Musk or Trump have ever seen a chicken or fried an egg

    Fed officials are worried about the inflation impacts from Trump’s policies, minutes show


    • Federal Reserve officials at their December meeting expressed concern about inflation and the impact that President-elect Donald Trump’s policies could have on efforts to reduce it.
    • The policymakers said they will move more slowly on interest rate cuts due to the uncertainty, minutes of the meeting showed Wednesday.
    • The minutes included at least four mentions about the impact that changes in immigration and trade policy could have on the U.S. economy.

    It's not the economy anymore (it never actually was), it's about colonialism and taking over foreign countries now!


    Northward, Southward and Eastward American expansion!!!

    Hey, isn't Canada a place lefties here are always opining about? If we could just be ruled by progressive politics without interference everything would be a Utopia...
