Even for you, that last paragraph is ignorantAs a registered Democrat, I'm voting Trump for lots of reasons. I was walking through the grocery store and it's easy to notice prices aren't up 30%, they are up at least 50% over the last 3 years on a lot of stuff.
Here is the rub. It's the laws of supply and demand. The Biden Administration is giving out hand outs to millions of illegals and guess what they are doing. They are helping to empty the shelves. What does that do? Increase demand and scarcity which additionally drives up price.

Donald Trump's son responds to claims he profited from children's cancer charity
Mr Trump's second son has blamed an absence of 'morals'www.the-independent.com
there is more nuance to this story than the media narrative. But really we dont know the fine details. It sounds like these charity golf events charged patrons and this money was used to cover operating expenses, ie hosting the events at a DJT course. And it was Eric, not Donald, who ran the charity. I mean raising 16M with a 12% operating expense is very good.
and no, his org was not shut down.
So yea, it sounds dramatic to say DJT stole from children with cancer.
I just dont think the Trump family would scheme to pilfer a couple of million dollars over many years. Trump didnt even take a Presidential salary worth a million.
I inferred 1M for a cumulative 4 years worth of salary, even better at 1.6M that he didnt take.The president is paid $400K, not a million. You conveniently forget--in that MAGA way--that the gangster took a huge entourage to one of his golf properties practically every weekend--or close to it---which generated many millions for his company over time. That's called profiting from public office, which is also called blatant corruption. When you have a president who wants to use his office to make money for himself, you, the country, have a major problem---but perhaps that is an idea that is hard for MAGA to understand. A president is supposed to work for the country--not himself and his business.
The gangster also owned a hotel in D.C. while president that he should have sold immediately after the election. But of course he didn't--and lots of conservative groups and foreign government officials stayed in the hotel to curry favor with him. That is also corruption. You don't want a president who might be--probably is--doing favors for particular groups or particular countries because they are helping to boost his bank account. Again, perhaps that is a concept too complex for MAGA to understand. A deeply corrupt president is a very serious thing--and trump, who is a gangster, is deeply corrupt. Fact.
Where do you shop? Do you own your own farm? These aren't the only reasons but they are some of the reasons. Even with real wages down, the shelves are still emptying.
You don't know what you're talking about. You never do. Corporate price gouging has been the biggest reason for higher food prices. The Covid epidemic caused serious distribution and manufacturing problems, product scarcity, prices went up--and when the Covid situation finally abated, and distribution/manufacturing returned to normalcy, many companies didn't lower prices but kept them at their higher levels.
That's exactly what you did. I almost feel sorry for you
I understand those events far better than you in that I know the inflationary period we are in isn't the result of food cards given to immigrants. Is your degree (s) in economics? How long did you hold managerial positions in supply chain management? Your problem is that you ignorantly believe this is Econ 101. You should have taken upper level classesYou are the board empty Cannon like Turbo and Tull. An old guy without many original thoughts. When the shelves are empty it heats up the supply chain. Goods have to be delivered quicker, production has to increase, etc. All this leads to an increase in wages, shipping, etc when in turn leads to an increase in price. It's clear you didn't learn Econ 101.
would you agree that it is having an inflationary impact on medical services and housing?I understand those events far better than you in that I know the inflationary period we are in isn't the result of food cards given to immigrants.

No more simple minded than you trying to explain economics from what you learned in Econ 101 to someone with a degree in economics and 17 years of upper level supply chain management experience.
Tull doesn’t want to discuss anything so don’t bother.I mean, Im no shingled head shrink but Narcissistic personality disorder - Symptoms and causes seems pretty spot on.
BUT - if you go through most Fortune 1000 companies, large non-profits, etc. you will find the same thing. Some hide it better though.
You are kinda missing the point though.
We are not voting for Trump because gosh gee he is a splendid wonderful guy who is an exemplary example of what all men should strive to be. I dont think that is why you are voting for Biden, either. It is because like the mule, he can carry the load to where you want him to go. It isnt necessary that the tool is pretty, only that it is effective.
Except that recent Fed study said that’s not true. Other than you being wrong, you are correct.You don't know what you're talking about. You never do.
