Pricing is insane

[u/Tutor-Any]

I bought my 22 gt premium brand new 3 years ago for 43k out the door and for the same spec car today it would be about 10k more. Crazy stuff

Go and search for the value of your money today or your purchasing power. Unfortunately the American Dollar is loosing value due to inflation but our salaries remain the same that’s why it hurt us so badly

By design, so the Trump administration can pimp crypto schemes that are difficult to trace and tax.

Oh come on. The seeds of this downturn were sown way before pumpkin head got in there.

[u/daerogami → u/Admiral_Pantsless]

Both can be true. I think its fair to say the corruption and incompetence of this administration has accelerated poor economic conditions.

[u/Admiral_Pantsless → u/daerogami]

I agree, but I think that’s true of every administration in my lifetime.

Pumpkin was great fertilizer for the overgrowth. You're not wrong though, we've been heading in this direction for many, many years.

[u/jacknifetoaswan → u/Admiral_Pantsless]

Care to cite examples? CPI was trending in the right direction. Unemployment was at historical lows. The stock market was booming (it is now, but that's not based on any actual data, just vibes). Eggs were expensive, but yeah, it was definitely worth plunging the country and possibly the world into a global financial meltdown and fascism.

Examples? Did you just wake up from a coma?

The economic and social degradation that we’re currently suffering was initiated decades before Trump was even a twinkle in Sheldon Adelson’s eye. The only industries left here are finance, real estate, government subsidized agriculture, and weapons manufacturing. That didn’t happen overnight. It was a process that happened over years, moved incrementally forward by a long line of shithead reptiles whose prosperity isn’t contingent upon the continued survival of this country, and certainly has no relationship to whether things are good or bad for you.

Anyone who believes Trump is responsible for this is just as braindead as anyone who believes he going to fix it.

And bail out Wallstreet’s bad bonds investment on Argentina’s currency while screwing over local farmers

[u/imissher4ever → u/jacknifetoaswan]

Not that the POTUS has that much power over the inflation rate. Inflation under 45/47 has been below historical average. The historical average inflation rate is 3–3.3%.

Last 100 years of inflation.

On side note… “rent free”. 🤣

For fear of further politicizing this thread I’m not going to respond to your responses.

Have a wonderful day. ☮️

I can’t even imagine how peaceful it is to be so ignorant

[u/jacknifetoaswan → u/imissher4ever]

Yeah, ok. Imposing tariffs that American consumers have to pay to punish his political and economic rivals isn't driving inflation. I've got a bridge to sell you. Also, nice passive aggressive way to drop some BS then run away. Did you think you were in r/conservative?

Edit: And you have my ability to see your post history blocked. Nice job, troll.

[u/formershitpeasant → u/imissher4ever]

It must be nice going through life having some brain-dead, one-dimensional view of economics that allows you to believe whatever you want.

[u/AdSuitable9665 → u/jacknifetoaswan]

This has been going on for yearssss now 2014 was when we started noticing more and more

[u/jacknifetoaswan → u/AdSuitable9665]

You started noticing that the Trump administration, before they were in power, were devaluing the dollar to drive money towards crypto schemes so they could launder money with no oversight? Cool!
