The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Trump says, on lowering the price of groceries: "It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard."

Wait a minute...wasn't that one of the many things he was going to fix on DAY ONE?


I think Democrats are going to be disappointed if they think voters are going to be disappointed with Trump on inflation if prices don't fall.

Voters punished the Democrats (like incumbents all over the globe) because inflation happened. Biden screwed up, goes the thinking. Something bad happened on his watch, so he gets the blame for the bad thing. And by extension, the Democrats. He screwed up. Prices got too high, too fast.

That doesn't mean that Trump is going to get a lot of heat if he doesn't undo the increase in prices that happened during Biden's time. As long as inflation stays modest going forward, he'll be fine on that issue.
