Upcoming Presidential Debate

Because I was being nice.

Did it make you feel bad or good?

Quote: DoubleGold

Why would you call another human-being a douche?

Because left wingers have to call names when they can't make their point.

LOL.

Besides, who wants dumb customers?

On line sportsbooks!

If you really think about it….. the MAJORITY of businesses….

Reminder: when righties accuse a Democrat of something (in this case, the lie that Kamala has trouble answering interview questions), it is ALWAYS projection about their own candidate.

Tough to turn a profit in farming.

6,000 farms closed in 2023.

More than 100,000 lost between 2011 and 2018 and over 140,000 more lost since 2019.

Is this a defense of his rambling incoherent answer on how he’ll lower grocery prices? (spoiler: he won’t)

Not to take Donny's side on this, but he did kinda answer partly how he'll lower grocery prices. He said he'd lower the cost of energy inputs in growing crops/livestock and bringing farm products to market. He also said he'd engage the farmer stakeholders.

But he didn't address that (a) natural gas is so plentiful that oil wells are flaring it off as waste instead of capturing it as a commodity, and NG spot prices are as low as have ever been in the last 25 years. Not only that, but the US currently produces more crude oil tan any country, ever. But, in an ironic twist, US oil refineries are not built to refine American light crude oil, but the heavy stuff from Mexico, South America and Arabia.

He also did not address te greedflation on the part of conglomerates, especially in market segments where due to mergers, price fixing is occurring.

What you call ‘greedflation’ is really capitalism, right? It’s a company trying to maximize its profit. Or am I missing something? Aren’t there already a gazillion ‘anti-trust’ laws already on the books? And laws preventing monopolies on a bunch of businesses? Are you saying a company should sell a product for $99 instead of $100 because Kamala says so?

The article addresses those questions. Have you read it?

And if you're going to say 'greedflation' is really capitalism, then you also don't have the right to complain about high prices.
