Shut the fuck up.

We were in a recession for 3 years under Joe Biden* and you pretended it didn't even exist.

We have no patience for your bullshit anymore and everything you have to say on any topic is worthless in 2025.

You did that. Pat yourself on the back, retard.

6ixStringJack, you have no income. Every day is a recession as your funds are drawn down to zero.

Official status

Not in a recession: The NBER has not declared a recession since the short one in February-April 2020, while Trump was President.

Warning signs and regional differences caused by Trump

• State-level recessions: At least 22 states and Washington, D.C. (where Trump fired government employees) are currently in or at high risk of a recession, according to Moody's Analytics.

• Weakening job market: Job growth has slowed, and some analyses indicate that job growth was overstated in the past year.

• Increased consumer strain: Many people are using GoFundMe for essential expenses, and subprime car loan delinquency rates are high.

• Manufacturing and housing weakness: Manufacturing output is falling in some areas, and housing markets are slowing.

Hey SECOND. I can’t seem to find comrade signym. Jack is here. He offers no facts to dispute your post. He only trolls it, which is typical of Gillian. The guys an idiot. Bottom line, I don't like racists, bigots, misogynistic white supremacist pieces of trash. And that perfectly describes, Jack. And I don't like anyone who enables that behavior. That's Jacks friends here.

Signym is hiding. Why, because people are heading to the stores for Christmas and the shit is hitting the fan.

The inflation rates for Christmas items have been a concern for consumers, especially during the holiday season. Here are some key points regarding the inflation rates for Christmas items:
Inflation Rate: The average inflation rate for the holiday season is around 3% to 4% as of September 2024.
1
Tariffs Impact: Tariffs have been a significant factor in the cost of Christmas items, with average levies of 26.9% on artificial holiday trees and 26.6% on Christmas lights.
1
Consumer Spending: The average consumer is expected to spend about $1,595 on holiday gifts this year, which is a 10% decrease from the previous year.
1
Electronics and Apparel: Electronics and apparel are expected to see the largest per-person increase in costs due to tariffs.
1
Imported Goods: 88% of clothing and accessories, and nearly 69% of electronics, are imported from abroad, which is a major factor in the cost of holiday items.
1

Consumers should be prepared for higher prices when purchasing Christmas items this year due to inflation and tariffs. It is advisable to check the source of the items and consider the tariffs when budgeting for the holiday season.

Hey MAGA, hey Signym, Trump says Merry Christmas.

Inflation and Tariffs: Inflation has picked up since the tariffs were announced, with consumer price index data showing outsized increases in tariff-sensitive categories, including beef.

Your long winded posts with you latching on to something, and completely getting it wrong are classic Signym. The other reasons you quote for high beef prices don't mean shit. This is not complicated. You don't need graphs or water shortage statistics to figure out what Trumps tariffs are doing. First, you have the price of something, in this case beef, add the cost of the tariff onto the product. In this case beef.

Even a child knows if you add 25% to the cost of something, then its cost goes up 25%. I'm laughing here because this is so simple. Again, even a child knows if American companies are paying the 25% tariff, some of that cost is passed onto the consumer; still laughing. By the way, in America it is called a tax. Trump raised everyone's taxes by raising the cost of everything they buy.

I can't believe how much time and energy you've put into two pages of this thread, arguing and defending Trumps tariffs. All the while saying they aren't killing American companies and consumers. He raised the price of everything, for business and consumer alike that has a tariff attached to it. Which is everything.

By how much did he raise our taxes? By the different tariff amounts attached to each product you buy or pay for. And more and more of those higher prices being picked up by our companies are passed onto us. I'm still laughing comrade, not really. This is a fucking nightmare.

Now, a tariff adds that amount onto the cost of a product. Regardless of other factors that may increase a price. A 25% tariff adds 25% to the cost. It's a sales, a consumption tax on the consumer. There's nothing to debate lass. If you think there is, ask a child to explain it to you.

And just a reminder. Trump is giving 2 trillion dollars in tax breaks to the top .01 percent. Where is he getting the money to replace his tax cuts for the rich? From tariffs, i.e. sales, consumption taxes of course. Also, by denying healthcare to millions, cutting NASA's budget by 47%, and so on and so on.

You know it takes a real moron to give an idiot an important job. And you did just that.

Trump and his treasury secretary are blaming migrants for high beef prices because they are bringing their cows with them when they cross the border.

Comrade signym, I'm fucking dying here.

What a dumb fucking thing to say when I've got a net worth of $400k with zero debt and I haven't worked in 6 years.

I'm not the problem here. Joe Biden* making that $400k worth only 70% of what it was worth in 2020 is.

This Trumptard's business collapsed because of Trump's tariffs. Did he learn? No. No. Hell no. He is as dumb as they come:
Quote:

Standing by the vote

Wilson Jones voted for Trump — all three times.

"I voted for Trump all three times. Yep. I did," he admits. "But I literally was in the voting booth. And I rapped my knuckles and the Trump one hurt more, and that was the one that I voted for. Because it was just, it was so disgusting and, and I hate to say that, but that's literally how I made that choice."

Even after losing his business to Trump's policies, he stands by his vote: "Given the two people running, regardless of what they said on the campaign trail, I would've voted for President Trump again."

His brother Stephen agrees: "I don't think I had a choice to vote any other direction."

Why are businesses failing? There are details here, https://moneywise.com/news/economy/north-carolina-man-who-voted-for-tr
ump-forced-to-shut-family-lumber-mill-due-to-tariffs
but I quote one significant part about the cost for what Trump is doing:

Tariffs breaking promises

On "Liberation Day," President Trump said: "Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country, and you see it happening already. We will supercharge our domestic industrial base." (6) But the numbers tell a different story.

According to the American Enterprise Institute, the cost to American purchasers per manufacturing job created by tariff protection will be at least $225,000 annually per job-year for an indefinite period, with more realistic calculations indicating a cost of $550,000 annually per job-year (7).

So what's the fundemental problem? Tariffs raise costs for American manufacturers that rely on imported materials. For every job in steel production, there are another 80 jobs in U.S. industries that use steel (8). When steel prices go up — as they have, with some domestic producers raising prices 38.5% — those 80 downstream jobs suffer.

Wilson Jones doesn't hold back about what he'd tell President Trump if he visited the shuttered mill: "President Trump, gee, I understand what you're trying to do, but you're on a fool's mission. And you're not helping out a few. You're hurting a lot."
