Is this his way of manipulating headlines away from the fact that his personal lawyer is currently going to the Ukraine for him and openly admitting itā€™s to dig up dirt on Trumpā€™s Democratic opponents?

I mean Iā€™m not an economic genius like Trump or anything, but isnā€™t that how these things usually work? Pass the costs onto the consumer and all.

That and some drop in sales because of this idea of demand and price intersecting along a curve.

There are some products whose sales do not drop at higher prices, and does not increase at lower prices thoughā€¦

What pisses me off most is that we, the rest of America, get fucked with higher prices and middle 'murica gets comfort that the US Gov will now buy their corn and soybeans picking up the slack so they are immune to the bullshit ā€œinflationā€ that trump is causing. Itā€™s fucked up.

I just read a couple of days ago that 40% of the corn crop in Illinois (and similar percentages in other major corn-growing states) had not yet been planted because of the weird thereā€™s-no-such-thing-as-climate-change weather. Weā€™re going to have shortages AND higher prices.

US government internet and spectrum overseer resigns, along with legislative director

ā€œThe NTIA serves several critical functions. Until recently it oversaw the internetā€™s main administrative body, ICANN, and still plays an outsized role with respect to the domain name system.
But, critically, it also manages transmission spectrums in the US ā€“ an increasingly important job given the growing scarcity of available spectrum and the exploding demand for wireless communications, particularly with upcoming 5G technology.ā€

Looks like one by one the competent members of the administration who actually know what they are doing are leaving because they just cantā€™t deal with all the crap coming from the White House anymore.

On the one hand, thatā€™s kinda beautifully vicious. On the other hand, Ouch, thatā€™s my generation! But, you know, ā€œWhat, me worry?ā€

That attitude seems like it fits Trump pretty well. Iā€™ve seen him manifesting that pose.

It just keeps getting worse. Itā€™s like some people want to erase the chunk of history that came after 1944 or so.
