February also sucked

I saw a $6.25 egg thread the other day.

The thrust of this article is how with only a 4% loss of laying hens they've taken millions in taxpayer funds while claiming there was a shortage as justification for their gouging.

We can't expect anyone in the Trump administration will do anything about it.

"It's Trump's Economy Now"

Only for things that might go right.

Everything else is and will be Biden's fault per Trump and his sycophants.

They can't explain away the good economy we had until Trump started his trade war in a self-inflicted wound on the U.S. economy.

Tim Walz's brother, Mike, is OUT as Secretary of State. Here's a rundown of what led to this:

Guess you're being facetious.

Tim Walz is not related to Mike Waltz.

China is NOT in negotiations with the U.S. over tariffs despite what Trump says.

The WH is calling THEM, and they don't want to talk.

Trump's a blithering idiot.

As the article points out, avian flu resulted in only a 4% drop in the number of egg laying hens.

They're price gouging.

While big agricultural companies are ripping off consumers with one hand, they are taking taxpayer-funded bailouts with the other. The U.S. Department of Agriculture gave Cal-Maine $22 million in avian flu relief last year, and gave millions more to other major egg producers. Under an indemnity program, the department provides monetary relief to compensate farms that destroy animals in response to disease outbreaks like avian flu. USDA has made around $1 billion in such payments to agricultural producers since 2022.

SCOTTS

Trump is trashing our economy with his tariff war. The same thing happened when McKinley tried it.

Since you don't seem very informed, the Chinese and U.S. are NOT in talks to lower tariffs.

Also, the rest of the world has turned their backs on the U.S. as a stable democracy and safe place to park money.

Trump. One word, one man. He trashed our image. Soon, we'll all be feeling the pain.

but I do think it is puzzling how so many folks thought increasing corporate income taxes wasn't going to jack up prices Did they really think Walmart and Amazon were just going to suck it up and cut profits?

What? Corporations got healthy tax CUTS during Trump's first term.

They spent their savings on stock buybacks instead of investing in new American facilities or raising wages to proper levels.

Except Trump doesn't care about helping American families or saving the American economy.

Now watch this drive!

Trump's already spent more taxpayer $s in 100 days playing golf than Biden did during his entire 4 year presidency.

And much of the money spent for his weekend jaunts go into his own pocket by charging the Secret Service for rooms & meals.

So all Musk accomplished was making our government agencies FUBAR.

Everything thing Trump or his sycophants touch turns to s*&@

I'm not near 77 but I am glad I'm not 30.

"Biden" is their lame excuse regarding anything that isn't going well for them.

Regarding one must have: I checked and found out most toilet and paper towels are sourced and manufactured here in the U.S.

We'll be paying more for brands that source and/or manufacture elsewhere. Some are made from pulp sourced elsewhere, meaning tariffs will add to the cost.

VALERIE is her name please

My bad. And I got her sex wrong despite reading the article. Guess I was thinking more about her ordeal than her sex.

Based on the past (though this is an unprecented, self-inflicted economic wound), we're probably in for "stagflation."

Stagflation is a term describing an economic state characterized by high inflation and high unemployment, alongside stagnant or declining economic growth. It combines the issues of inflation (rising prices) and stagnation (lack of economic growth), resulting in a challenging situation for economies and individuals

I expect imports soared in part because companies like temu stuffed their warehouses in expectation of the tariffs tantrum.

I went on Amazon tonight to buy what was a $10 item last month when I bought the first one.

Now? $17.95. Thanks, Trump! (/sarcasm)

I passed on buying another one.

It isn't poll after poll evidencing Trump with the lowest ever approval rating of a president's first 100 days. Of course it can't be, right?

Containers are currently arriving empty.

50,000 truckers who moved cargo containers hither and yon have been laid off.

Well, when you're broke and possibly having to resort to trading pillows for legal advice, this is what you get.

PS - I just looked up stats on miniature dachshunds. Never more than 11 pounds.

Wow, 529 in heat and poisonous snakes. Yep, that's a brave little feller alright ...

What an incredible story. WTG to the brave little guy!

A very sad state of affairs.

All because of one megalomaniac. know-little-and-don't-care-to-learn idiot who fooled millions on TV that he's a brilliant businessman, despite 6 bankruptcies ... including two casinos. Casinos!

Most Americans are about to feel economic hurt because of him and him alone.
