One would think that after Trump appointed millionaire after millionaire, Outsider after outsider, 

billionaire after billionaire,,Expert after expert,

to supposedly fix the system that made them so stupendously wealthy, is broken that MAGA would question whether or not he actually planned to follow through on populism for the average American. (Goosey's prejudice against those stupid Maga's shines through)

 

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile.

 

Standard operating procedure by the Left.

 

Swallowed eagerly by some here.

Now that he's announced that he's going to replace probably the most populist leader currently in the federal government with your run of the mill pro-business swamp creature, it'd be hard to justify still believing the populist rhetoric. Trump is open for business, and business is good if you're already at the top of income bracket.

Right.

So let's say you're concerned about grocery prices. That certainly seemed to be the case here.

Maybe you want an FTC commissioner who will stop behemoth Kroger from sweeping up all competitors?

I guess not.

Reading this quote from the article makes one think that if MAGA was truly upset about high prices, they would be unhappy with replacing the person leading the fight against consolidation:

 

"Such retail and CPG concentration supercharged the price inflation that in turn created windfall profits from 2020-2022. Inflation was not demand driven, as some economists have suggested. Overall grocery prices are up over 30%, while unit volumes are actually flat or down since 2019:

• Grocery (center store) units down 1.6% and prices up 40%
• Dairy (milk, yogurt, etc.) units down .1% and prices up 33%
• Meat units down 10.5% and prices up 41.5%
• Frozen (meals, pizza, desserts) units flat at 1% and prices up 35.6%.

The Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine created ample consumer concerns to give cover fire for companies up and down the supply chain to pass prices to consumers above the rate of their own cost inflation. These practices, called “sellers inflation” by economist Isabella Weber, may have contributed to over 50% of all food price inflation from 2020-2022.

 

In that timeframe, Walmart raised prices on thousands of items well above the rate of inflation, including potato chips by 35%, cookies by 62% and yogurt by 92%. Prices at Albertsons on store brand oils increased by 117%, potato chips by 68% and packaged cheese by 125%."

Biden really sh*t the bed, didn’t he? Big Grocery treated him like a speed bump. Sad!

I said that many here seem overly concerned with grocery prices.

Using the stupid triangle, your meal plans will take time to cook.  Please be transparent in your marketing.

Young blood is here.

 

President-elect Trump has gone full throttle for a new generation of leaders.

Consider these nominees:

 

• Lee Zeldin, 44, EPA administrator
• Pete Hegseth, 44, Secretary of Defense
• Kash Patel, 44, FBI Director
• Tulsi Gabbard, 43, Director of National Intelligence

 

Not everyone welcomes the generational change. When smears and media leaks about nominees’ backgrounds appear,

be sure something is happening in the political establishment of Washington, D.C.

Well the smear against Helgeth is collapsing,

 

let's turn to Tulsi instead.
