Not good


Didn't see it discussed, but this is how you lose midterms boys. I feel like the K shaped economy is gonna crush us, and i'm on the top part of the K. Life is good for me, but i feel like it's not for others, and unfortunately they can vote :(

So the thing that you take away from this as unfortunate is that other people can vote?

That's the only issue you see from this information?

From USA Today, current: “Lower-income workers experienced their fastest after-tax wage growth in nearly three years in June 2026, narrowing the gap with higher-income earners, driven by increased job-switching and tax-withholding changes from the recent tax bill.”

He mentions consumers still spending with the pressures.

“But consumers are still spending, and real wage growth is keeping pace, and so they’ve been very resilient in this environment,” Rainey told CNBC.


I went to Walmart last weekend and was surprised at lower prices for certain items. The tuna pouches I get for lunch during the week got up to $1.75 under Biden. They were $1.08.

No the takeaway is improve their lives or lose the midterms.

This is why the only people who still support the worthless GOP are boomers with fat retirement accounts. The rest of the middle class people in this country who are trying to raise families are getting crushed.

GOP deserves to get wiped out.
And Trump deserves whatever humiliation ritual the left has planned for him for being such an utter disappointment.

Only people who still vehemently defend Trump are 60+ year old boomers who are completely out of touch with the real world.

Maybe customers are tired of the poor customer service and most of the clientele.

Bought a little today. Ex-div date tomorrow too. I own a lot more Costco and Amazon but I like to buy stocks like this on a 10% dip.

“boomers with fat retirement accounts”

Boomer here with a fat retirement account .Want to know how that happened? Me and my wife lived below our means,saved and invested.We weren’t particularly high earners,we were both nurses and pay wasn’t as good as it is now,
For example,my wife has never gone to a nail salon in her life.When her nails are painted she has done it herself.Walmart in Pineville has a nail salon and there are 4 others within 300 yds of said Walmart and they’re all busy.

Fast food places and restaraunts everywhere,too many to count and they’re all busy.Raisan Canes always has a line of people buying their nasty chicken strips.
We bought food or went to a restaraunt maybe once a month,we cooked at home.
Tattoo and vape shops all over and tattooed young people everywhere you look.I saw a young couple last week that had I guess $20,000 in tattoos.Both had full sleeves on both arms and both legs from knees down,
Young people without tattoos seem to be the exception now.

Now that we have fat retirement accounts our current 2 vehicle were $50,000 apiece and paid for but for years we drove cheap and/ or used vehicles like Toyota Corolla’s and Tacoma’s.Went on vacations with 2 kids in a Corolla.
Young couples now with 2 kids have to have a Suburban or Expedition.

We’ve owned several houses,largest was 2500,sq ft ,all with 8 ft ceilings.

When today’s young people are old and broke they’ll be bitching and moaning about how boomers ruined life for them.Will never occur to them it was their spending habits and “wanting to have it all now” mindset is caused them to not have a pot to piss in when they’re retired.

I once had a millennial ask me how much land I owned.It is 140 acres,they asked me who gave it to me.I went off on them,nobody gave it to me,we bought it and paid on it for years.
Had another out to our house on our land and they said “I wish I could have inherited some land.”I wish I could have also.
That’s their mindset,if one accumulated something in life someone must have given it to them or they inherited it.

Piss pour attitude,IMO.
