Again with that term, huh? That proves stability and intelligence, but again, those people are the best people on the planet full of love and kindness. When you call me that it's a compliment. 

Sorry but I honestly don't know how else to describe what would cause someone spew so many laughably stupid things as what you post on a daily basis

If it's apples to apples. If it's butter prices will not go up because people will move on to substitutes or other alternatives. They can try but people will move on to other things and they'll end up dropping when they lose enough sales. Cars in Germany are more expensive because American brands are priced out? No. 

There won't be any substitutes or fake food.  Jr won't have it.  So there's more limited choices.  

Tariffs 101 according to google.

While the U.S. Constitution grants to Congress the power to levy tariffs on goods, Congress has delegated some of that power to the Executive Branch over time. The U.S. Constitution states in Article I, Section 8 that "The Congress shall have the Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises.” Congress passed general tariff legislation until the early 1930s. However, in a move to grant more flexibility to the President to revitalize global trade in the midst of the Great Depression, Congress gave the Executive Branch the power to negotiate tariff reductions within levels pre-approved by Congress through the Reciprocal Trade Agreement Act of 1934. President Franklin D. Roosevelt became the first President to have the authority to levy tariffs and negotiate bilateral trade agreements without the approval of Congress.²

 

The Executive Branch has continued to exercise a level of authority over tariffs over the past few decades. In 1962 President Kennedy signed into law the Trade Expansion Act, which allows the President to adjust tariffs based on threats to national security under section 232.³ This is the authority under which President Trump imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum, which have a vast impact on some of the United States’ biggest trading partners and many U.S. industries. Since the beginning of the year, there have been bipartisan efforts in Congress to try to regain some of the power that was delegated to the Executive branch to regulate trade.

You do not understand demand curve. You also do not understand how many domestic brands of butter we have. Removing a few foreign ones because people chose to not buy them because they are expensive will not result in domestic prices going up because they will understand that by doing so they will then lose sales on domestics. People will switch to coconut oil or fake spreads. 

 

Well, everyone upset should have voted harder.

All this talk about what Big Butter is about to do is triggering my anxiety

A dinner roll will still be served with your dinner but if you want butter, it'll cost you $,8.13 per pat.  You can forget buttered popcorn at the movies, butter for your crab legs and lobster, butter for you baked potatoes, etc.  Elections have consequences but who, in their wildest dreams, thought losing butter was going to be one of the first?

Enjoy paying more.

Grocery bills are a rounding error in my monthly budget. It could double and I wouldn't have to change a thing.

Everybody who thought tariffs would cure their budget situation who actually need relief? They're ef'd if Trump isn't reined in by advisors who knows what they're doing.

I won't cry over it. Though I'll probably have to further subsidize my sister.

Nah, it will be great.

You are kind to help her, though. Glad you are able to.

Yeah Covid had nothing to do with any of that...good point. 

Covid started a full year before Bidens term.  Trump had to deal with all the lockdowns. 

But I'm glad Covid is a valid excuse now, I'll remember that the next time someone tells me about Bidens job numbers.

This can not be real life.  How do so many people not have a basic understanding of tariffs?

It will raise prices, the end.

Bro it's honestly wild that Kamblah/Bidenbots are on this grocery store prices kick after what their party managed to accomplish in the four years since Trump left office. That's why this place is so fun.   

This is pretty good. And Joe seems thrilled.

Be honest. When I quoted you that Trump/Biden CPI graph, how many shades of red did your face change?
