Re: Inflation, wages and housing

Now that's drunk posting GU. Someplace there i had a point to make. :) Hmmmm....think it had something to do with greed. A circular greed that contributes to our boom and bust cycle. I think I caught the gist of it. But I have friendly disagreement on the union thing - it would seem, with a good co...

Re: The great things Kamala Harris is going to do when president

I thought it would be nice if people could list all the reasons to vote for Harris. All her proposals which they think are fantastic and will improve our country. As for me I want her to be elected because she is not Trump and have very low expectations of what her time as president will be. But I ...

So.much for you claiming you have never trolled
I’ve never called rich people “enemies of the state”. As a matter of fact, I’ve never used such language. That’s Donald Trump’s language, which you use all the time. Fancy that.

Lying again all because I hurt your little feelings well over a year ago. Maybe it's time for you to do a personal SPC evaluation on the subject which hurt you so much. Not lying at all.

Re: Inflation, wages and housing

Let’s remember what happened during the COVID lockdowns. Far fewer people were driving, so there was suddenly a glut of gasoline, and the prices cratered. Proving that gas prices are set by supply and demand. The demand went down, so did the prices. Since the seventies, OPEC has worked to keep price...

Re: Inflation, wages and housing

Certainly not because of demand as it is a very, very small number who have the need. Certainly not supply because the ingredients are abundant. Certainly not the technology, it’s nothing special. This one is more of what the market will bear and greed. And they were never $5. $120 for two. Here’s ...

Re: Inflation, wages and housing

I’m saying that increases in demand tend to increase prices. They don’t set prices. That’s done by people who are trying to manage their margins. As I said, you demonstrate how little you know about basic business and basic economics. You know a few buzz words but yet you don’t know what they mean ...

Friend's daughter is home here in TN, BIL has went to Orlando where his daughter lives, she's a 9/11 operator, will obviously be very busy!

Although he wasn't in the evac area, I feel better. But I think she's just in an apartment in Orlando, and they could get hit quite hard too.

2025 Super Bowl: Chiefs vs. Vikings

No, not a prediction (unless it comes true, of course, then I will SOOOOOOO own it!). But right now, after week five, the two undefeated teams left are Kansas City and Minnesota. It certainly isn't unrealistic these two teams will end up the only ones standing. Why I thought about this was it brings...

Establishing a government program to aid in the purchase of a good or service affects which axis on your supply /demand curve? I’ll give you a hint. It’s not supply. Increasing demand tends to drive prices up over time. Increasing supply tends to drive prices down over time. Basic macro economic th...

The key phrasing is they have enough funding to get through hurricane season which ends on Nov 30th. The House of Representatives are in recess and won't reconvene until January.
