I'll show you if you apologize for saying I made it up.

Higher prices and less inventory https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/27/deep-inside-economy-more-sticker-prices-start-to-go-up-due-to-tariffs.html The latest inflation data came in hotter than expected, and Nike warned in its earnings on Thursday that prices will be going higher due to tariffs. Across the U.S. retail and manufacturing distribution chains, inventory has started to be re-ticketed with higher prices, by between 8%-15%, according to ITS Logistics, including for apparel and consumer product goods. The footwear industry says it expects prices to rise by between 6% and 10%. It’s not just higher prices but less inventory With current concerns about trade uncertainty and consumer softness, retailers and manufacturing clients are managing inventory by shrinking SKU counts and importing fewer SKUs they are keeping. The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that gross domestic product shrank by 0.5% in the first quarter of 2025. “The overall inventory footprint is smaller,” said Martin. “You are looking at three months of inventory on hand now versus six.” Supply chain data from the warehouse sector and the growing number of empty shipping containers at ports are pointing to a more mild peak season (the summer buildup of inventory for the back-to-school and holiday shopping periods). Warehouse inventory levels are down 6% month over month, according to the Logistics Managers’ Index. Comparing readings from the first half of June to later in the month, growth in inventories started to slow down, which suggests that an increase in early June was temporary, according to Zachary Rogers, associate professor of supply chain management at Colorado State University. “Because of how long it takes inventories to move through systems, we haven’t seen any big shifts in transportation yet,” said Rogers. “Warehouse capacity did move from mild contraction to mild expansion.” The data for the full month of June is not in yet, but Rogers said it is highly unlikely the results would change in any meaningful way. “We’re far enough along that we basically know where they’ll end up,” he said.

Build more damn houses and apartments! Get rid of all the f'n red tape and make NYC cheap enough to live in. "Freezing rent" is so stupid, it will lead to even fewer places to live. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/06/26/how-20-dollar-sandwiches-pushed-new-york-to-socialism/ In a city where two-thirds of people rent, the vacancy rate of 1.4pc is the lowest in decades. And it keeps getting worse: in the past decade, for every 5.7 new jobs created, only one new housing unit was built. And in a supply-demand crunch, rents rise faster than incomes. “Households at the 40th percentile of the income distribution in New York City may have Chicago or Dallas incomes, but they are expected to pay New York City prices for market-rate units,” Kimball said. Mamdani’s answer is to “freeze the rent”. More than half of New York rents – mostly relating to blocks over 50 years old – are already subject to rental controls, known as “rent stabilisation”. This limits rent increases to 3pc. But the proportion of units that are rent-stabilised has dropped from two thirds in 1999 to just above 50pc. The rest are at market rate. To afford a median asking rent, a household must earn $120,000 per year, well above what a typical 20-something would earn. Figures compiled by The New York Times showed that Mamdani’s strongest support – where he captured 40pc or more of the vote – was in higher-income and middle-income neighbourhoods, and among college graduates. Although he also hit 48pc support in precincts with more Hispanic voters, that dropped to 38pc in lower-income districts and 34pc in heavily Black neighbourhoods.

You can also say Jim Crow held people back. If my father had been black he wouldn't of attended the same school, same army unit, same university, etc. I would of grown up poorer, in a different social economic place. Ya, its all true, but how you gonna hand out money to people like that. It would create a backlash, feed a stereotype and add a level of toxicity to our political discourse. Native Americans next? How about women?

I'll go with idiocy here. Politically speaking, how are you going to hand out large sums of money based on race? Just crazy, imo

If he gets the Dem nomination, welcome to President JD Vance in 2029

🤷‍♂️ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/06/18/juneteenth-reparations-bills-slavery/84263142007/ Name the bill "the Republican Victory in Elections Act" I get it, but no way should the Democrats get anywhere near this. Sure, the history has been unfair, but time to move on

Oh, just wait. Tariffs and a worker shortage will work their way through the system. Keep going after those agricultural workers. Just like the socialist, you will learn, nothing comes for free.

Secret service set it all up. Trump the show man directed the action

Capitalism is theft! Everything is just so easy with other people's money. The people that voted for this guy just think its unfair that other people have money and they don't. This is real bad news for NYC, a place I really love. Hopefully the state has some say. There won't be any new apartments built if there are no profits to be made by the evil landlords. The public transit will be ruined if they charge nothing. This clown is going to have to face reality real fast. The market would of hit THAT record high much earlier had it not been for the stupid trade war. We are just making up lost ground here

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/06/26/trump-presidency-news/ Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, declined Thursday to echo President Donald Trump’s assessment that the United States “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear sites with recent airstrikes. “We don’t do BDA,” Caine said during a Pentagon news conference, using the abbreviation for battle damage assessment. “I’ll refer that to the intelligence community.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth interjected moments later and said he — not Caine — is responsible for public messaging around the attack. “I can use the word ‘obliterated,’” Hegseth said, adding that he is extremely intoxicated, so take that for what you will. 🤣 Caine later denied feeling any political pressure on how to characterize the impact of the strikes. “No, I have not, and no, I would not,” Caine said. ---- But we have satellites, blah blah Point still stands, Obama had a deal to push it back 15 years. This only pushes it back a few at most

Thanks, I might have to. This John Deere is also smaller than I need, it turns out So you know the initial intel report was wrong? How can you possible know that? Adhomin attacks are a sign of weakness No, it was working. Talk about political bias and myopia! 15 years vs. (maybe) a few years. Trump can't stand up to tough guy Bibi, Obama did.

It was a failure to pull out of Obama's deal, that's pretty obvious. As to the military strike, no, its just the truth, we don't know. You are hoping its a success to the point you believe it is. But you don't know I'm just being rational. Ya, the guy with the upside down flag is the rational one, lol. Chew on that! I gotta go, putting a belt on my John Deere tractor mower, wish me luck, ugh

You are the one with the bias. Even Trump and Hegseth are doubting--until they aren't--the damage done. You don't know, I don't know, Washington doesn't know exactly what damage was done or not. Satellites can't see underground Even with all that, Obama pushed the timeline out 15 years, this bombing, at best, only a few years. Trump should have stayed in the deal.

Obama's deal had no nuke for Iran for 15 years. This bombing, if successful, only pushes it back a few years. Should have stayed with Obama's excellent deal

@JDHillFan What are you rolling your eyes at? Military missions are gambles, maybe they work, maybe they don't. In 1999 Yugoslav forces tricked NATO into bombing fake targets. Deception is a major part of war

If the intelligence was correct. If the intelligence was timely. If they were not fooled by misinformation. You can't see underground. It's lke dropping depth charges on a submarine without sonar. The main compound could of literally been miles away underground, and unlike with a submarine, no debris will float to the surface. If the US had real actionable intelligence about exactly where the bombs should go, they probably smashed up the place real good. But if this was guess work, who knows.

But did they know what they were hitting? First casualty of war, is the truth. Deception happens. Early assessment is this set them back a few months. If that's the case, this was a case of a half measure.

And even Israel is admitting Iran can get a bomb, its just the time line being debated, but this is far from over. They will probably have to launch a commando raid at some point

Lame one? That they can drill, baby, drill underground for miles? You know any military history? Bombing doesn't always work. It's a pretty blunt instrument. It will be interesting to see how Israel deals with this ceasefire while the Iranians clean up, retool and build

He's such an adorable man-child!

Coal mines, for instance, can go on for miles underground, so "precision" might not matter. They have had decades to dig out space in that mountain Bibi will be demanding further action soon That was good to see. Especially in light of China's sudden rise in military power, technology and possible ambitions

Sure, now we should just leave them alone. Wonder what Bibi thinks about that? You know he isn't happy and wants Trump to attack again

Well, it is underground, the bombs might have hit the wrong spot. Or it was way more spread out underground than intelligence could determine. Maybe it did extensive damage but the Iranians hide that fact and act like everything is fine Israel demands Trump attack again
