The stupid Ukraine funding is a drop in the bucket of just one year's federal budget.

Oh, well then, I guess it's ok.

That's the type of mindset that has this country spending money it doesn't have.

I'm very critical of Trump and his progressive spending habits.

That said, our government is going to spend money, it's what they do. Financial conservatism is currently dead in this country. At the least, we should be spending that money on our country and citizens.

Anyone who agrees with funding Ukraine or Israel is a phag.

You're the king of bad takes but this one is probably your worst. Not all businesses can easily do this nor is it an option.

Even if it were an option, consumers have their breaking points. Even McDonald's is realizing this as people are not eating $18 value meals.

I feel like this is a great OP to represent the core of the Trump base. Perpetual victim mentality.

No one that owns a "very successful business" is retarded enough to think the solution to not losing business is just to raise your prices and that solves everything.

Smart people realize there's a lot more to it than such a simplistic elementary view. You have no idea what industry he is even in yet raising prices was your solution right away.

You also gave zero consideration that maybe competition in the form of cheap labor from the crap load of illegals we are allowing in is killing his business.

Just a ton of factors that could be involved other than "raise your prices hurr durrr..."

You are a moron.

It’s not that simple. 2023 was awful for us in the catfish industry due to high inputs and we can’t simply raise prices because you have to compete with cheap imports. It’s tough enough as it is. Of course Biden admin recently proposed taking away all tariffs on the imports which will just make it that much worse on us

ETA not to mention high interest rates. 10% on a 4 million dollar line of credit fricking sucks

When my husband sells his crop, he can hold out on an offer from the mil .. but he can’t just “raise his selling price” lol. He’s at their mercy. Literally.

And yes 10% interest fing sucks .. we only have I think 1.5mil line but it does suck.

The average consumers have their breaking point no matter what the product is.

Even McDonald's has admitted that just last week

McDonald’s promises more affordable menu items after backlash on social media


I saw a guy who owns 12 mid-range restaurants in NJ put out a video about how if people do go out to eat they either go to fast food or go to a really expensive place. The middle class that used to go to his middle-of-the-road places are the ones eating at fast food places instead of sports bars and mid-range steak houses and of course, higher-end places are being visited by the same clientele as always as they are unaffected by price sensitivities. He says he is trying to figure out how to get people back in the door and the only thing he can think to do so far is to have better values and specials AKA lowering prices and margins.

I know both my examples are dealing with eating out, but considering food is an essential, you can imagine the problem is worse for things people can live without. To pretend everything isn't affected and businesses will fail or are failing because of it is just being a moron...AKA Big Scrub.

Big Scrub is smarter than all of us, though, and swears consumers aren't price-sensitive so just raise those prices and stop bitching!
