    Not just here but everywhere. Everyone (except those with too much) is holding tight to their wallet until trump dies and some stability comes back to the world.

      These companies have said plainly that they don’t see prices returning to pre-pandemic levels even if the current economic crisis is resolved. Corpos are too greedy, and the people in power are even greedier.

      I don’t really see what difference trump dying would make to me tbh. Got enough money, don’t really want to buy many things even though I can afford them.

      I could afford a new gaming PC every year. But my RTX2070 is fine. I won’t spend money without a good reason to and I don’t really see many good reasons right now. I have pretty much anything I could reasonably.

      Cutting my hours worked, that could be something to go for.

        People have unfairly held US presidents responsible for the state of the economy in the past… But in this case Trump’s illegal tariffs and pointless war with Iran absolutely are the cause of current high prices, or at least huge contributing factors. Republicans are a disaster for the economy…

          He’s both effect and cause, he wouldn’t be there if the USA didn’t have fundamental social problems, and if he didn’t exist, someone else could have been in his place causing different problems

        The evolved system is the cause. One person with several minions could easily topple this.
