Eating out
Who is even doing this anymore?
Every fricking body. Go by any restaurant, from fast food to sit down. They're slammed. People keep bitching about the economy but why is every Starbucks drive thru mobbed all hours of the day?
If the economy is in the shitter, you would think the daily $8 frappuccino milk shake would be the first to go. Oh, and new car sales for 2026 (October 25-October 26) just grew by an additional 3.5%, despite everyone complaining about car prices. Further, luxury good sales in the US are up 4% this year and expected to rise 7% in 2027.

Eating out used to be fun pre covid. Ever since then the quality is not at all worth the price.

quote:“Biden would have killed for 4%,” you say, immediately before acknowledging that inflation was below 3% by 2024.
Biden would have killed for 4% and over the last 30 years it has been around 3% average. So slightly higher than average. Biden had 1 year under 4% (2.9%). And the killer year 8.0%.
And here's the funniest part. Trump inherited the economy of 2024, when inflation was 2.9%, not 2022, when it was 8%.

Of course it did bc Trump is notorious for stepping on his own dick.
Everything was trending in the right direction in 2025, but why keep the status quo. Lets go frick it up

Real wage growth is negative so far during Trump's 2nd term.

No.
There is economic lag, but it's not 6 years.
What we are seeing is a result of the BBB starting to come in and the huge increase in spending.
It will likely be getting worse.

Everyone but the most Trumpartisan knew inflation was real and the tariffs and high oil prices underly the reason

Inflation is compounding so that always has an effect, but that's not the reason for the increase we are seeing now.
I said repeatedly this would happen with the BBB and got called a panican for it. Trump has an economic policy of inflation, that's a fact.

Or people are just starting to make up crap that makes no sense. It doesn’t take 6 years to grow a tomato. The headwinds businesses are facing today can be directly attributed to the person who made some really bad decisions over the last two years.
The nation thoroughly rejected the blame Obama, Covid, Biden, and immigrants excuses.
Scott Bessent really got on Fox News to blame immigrants for sneaking diseased cattle across the border for the rising cost of beef.
