You know, except there's no motivation for retailers to lower prices no matter how cheap the the products become nor how low their taxes are.

Correct. A dozen eggs will never be $1.40 again.

Eggs at Aldi near me are legitimately not that much more expensive than $1.40. I think it was like $1.89 in store price for the cheapest ones. That's why I don't understand this whole thing. Eggs aren't even that expensive. I feel like the whole country is collectively gaslighting me.

And Aldi probably had their eggs for a dollar a dozen in '19. My Target has them for $2.59, (and that did come down from pandemic pricing). If you haven't noticed prices not rising at all over the last 4 years, don't know what to tell you. But you make a point. I can't shop at Aldi because my family is too picky. We "have" to have our specific products, so we pay more, especially when inflation spikes. Of course, you are going to notice gas is super expensive when you are driving an F150. Comparatively, gas feels cheap in a Prius. Regardless of how good people have it, people do not want to have to tighten their belts, especially due to no fault of their own. Should they have voted for Trump directly? or indirectly by not voting? That's another story. We'll see how expensive the eggs get for you when a majority of the agrarian labor force is deported and the tariffs are levied.

They could be... if we replace dollars with new "patriot dollars". The rate of exchange will start at 10 USD for 1 patriot $1 - yes, the patriot dollar receives the symbol that used to mean USD. Gotta pwn those libs tho! 💵

Right. Low taxes mean stock buybacks and a consolidation of wealth.
