We were promised prices would go down and the war in Ukraine would be over day 1.

Competition and innovation aren't driving down costs. No one else willing to raise an eyebrow to this?


A totally free market will always crash at some point. It starts when the wealthiest winners start using their power to control and monopolize the market by buying out or destroying the competition. Then these “whales” use this power to manipulate laws governing their industries until the barrier of entry is too high.

This, then, solidifies their place in their market. At this point, they use their money and power to consume another market.

A “free” market is only “free” until the first set of winners win. Then it is manipulated.

Why are Iphones $1000 instead of $100?
Why have the cost of important drugs like insulin increased in price by 100% since 2012?
Why is baby formula $50 instead of $5?
Why is a ford 150 $50,000?


Because of the "keeping up with the Joneses" culture.

People that can't afford these things are mortgaging and borrowing from their future to be able to afford them.

but you lied.

eta: saying you voted for a Libertarian without ever espousing a single Libertarian or conservative belief isn’t exactly building trust around here.

How in the hell do you know I lied?

I've stated many times how I detested my options. From the right and the left.

Just because I stay on Trump alllllll the time doesn't make me some left wing wacko, there's millions that see through his bullshite and don't like him.
