Does it impact you that much?


The high prices due to Donnie's policies absolutely impact me. I paid $5 for a piece of plastic that before used to cost $2. I paid $55 / fire alarm - this used to be under $30. I paid $55 for 2 dishes at a "cheap" Chinese take-out. At these prices I balked at buying some Chinese food for myself - I only bought these dishes for my son to eat.

So yeah, it's bad.


And yet most of the inflation occurred during Biden adminstration.


Most of the damage comes after the arson, yes.


Thanks for agreeing.


Still blaming Biden for the economy?

This reminds me of this joke: How many MAGAs does it take to screw in a light bulb? None - they all sit in the dark clapping while Donnie tells them the light is on.


A few weeks before the tariff idiocy, I paid $320 including shipping for an ebike battery from the EU. When it arrived, it included a bill for an additional $350 from US Customs. That's insane, I refused.

When returning to sender, the package disappeared, presumably into Customs. I'm out $320 and still no battery.


Customs auctions that stuff off once a month. Next auction, Feb. 12th.[1] Item list goes live 3 weeks in advance.
