Anyone that comes out against Trump is by definition credible to the left.

It'll get closer soon enough

I think the uniforms are pretty hot....

That's what I thought, thanks.

Does US GDP growth not typically outpace those countries?

Why is that remarkable? Inflation typically goes up with GDP growth, they are related. Ideally, it's best to have strong GDP growth with low/no inflation.

While the rate varies, the fact that it is cumulative does not. Maybe if you understood what it was you would not nitpick the spelling.

Energy price decreased less than five of the seven, why do you supposed that is? But without comparing it to what the increases were leading up it over the last few years. In any event, food prices went up dramatically for a couple years, now they're going up more slowly, that's good news.

Inflation can't come down, it's cumulative. When it comes down, it's called defilation. For the people he cares about, yes.

So what does the chart say about how the US stacks up against the other counties?

It may (like the Audis) accommodate an accessory od some kind.

So, they cut production, that's what I said.

So, they have not cut production with the falling sales, so the cars are all just piling up on the docks hoping to be exported once their export markets are increased, correct? When I was working, we often adjusted production weekly. Most orders shipped within three days, and virtually every nonspecial order shipped within ten days. Our auto-seat plant in Thailand received orders every day at 15:00 and everything was shipped before 15:00 next day. We were making seats that would ship and go into cars being built the same day.

Yes, it is much easier to desecrate the environment and exploit labor in Mexico, but for assembly, environmental is really not much of a concern. I'm sorry, are manufacturers cutting production of potato peelers?

Or in the US If they are final assembled in the US NAFTA is a non-issue. Apparently the Vietnamese are smarter than the Chinese if the Chinese are looking for space in Mexico, unless for the Mexican market. One would think that everyone that has purchased an ICEV would have already bought one as well. I do not doubt the Chinese will enter the market, I have only said that it was not the import duty and or the tax credit is keeping them out. Your post seems to support that.

Cumulative inflation (from your link) from 2020 through 2023 was 17.3%. What do you think cumulative wage increases kept were over the same time period? And if wages are outpacing inflation, why are the Social Security COLAs so high? Cost-Of-Living Adjustments (ssa.gov) Hey, do you think the 4% unemployment number includes the six million illegals he let in? Probably not, but they will absolutely put downward pressure on the wages of the people you look down your nose at that have to eat hamburger and buy gas for their ten-year-old car. Not to worry, people like you don't care about the cost of hamburger and gasoline.

People here have claimed they have great margins on what they are selling here. They do not have to manufacture them North America to avoid duties and to get on the tax-credit list, they only have to complete the final assembly. So, they could ship them semi-knocked-down, and assemble them there in low-cost facilities with little labor. So, I'll stick by what I said: I can't speak to Europe, but if they are not selling them in the US is because they have not satisfied the safety and environmental requirements, testing and or certifications. To be clear, I am not saying they do not meet the standards, but it takes a lot of time, effort, money and practice to get through testing.

They're relatively cheap, even after the duties are paid in the US. I can't speak to Europe, but if they are not selling them in the US is because they have not satisfied the safety and environmental requirements, testing and or certifications.

They're leftists, not Democrats

Yet not included in the numbers. When the price of groceries or gasoline go's up, it does not bother the rich much, it's the poor that suffer. But not to worry, when the election gets a bit closer, we'll see some talk about increasing the minimum wage, the child tax credit, reparations and whatnot.

I could go for a decent kielbasa right along about now....

I think if you look at polls, the rich think the economy is great, but the poor? Not so much.

Inflation is sure well established now. Food and energy (what the poor needs most) is not included in the inflation numbers. Federal Reserve Economic Data | FRED | St. Louis Fed (stlouisfed.org)

Yeah, the Afghan debacle was all Trump's fault. Biden was able to get the border open, get the Houthis off the terrorist list, lift sanctions on Iran and give them another five billion, but when it came to Afghanistan, his hands were tied.
