THEY BETTER NOT! I’LL BE WATCHING AND LET’S JUST SAY THAT THEY WON’T APPRECIATE A CALL FROM ME (BUT IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THEY’LL TAKE IT)! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
Honestly, this might be the one company the Trump administration cant silence over this. Dear god, we are all depending on Walmart to stop him.
But Trump told me that they won’t do this and he’s watching them!! How could they go against daddy Trump! 🤣
fascists will blame it on biden and mexicans, and stained-wifebeater-wearing bumpkin yokel walmart shoppers will be parroting it before the fox news ticker even scrolls to the end of the sentence
AND they’ll continue to shop there
Maybe. But not everyone who voted for Trump is a fascist. There are enough voters on the edge who really did vote for lowered cost of living, after four years of everything getting more and more expensive under Biden. Those voters can be won over, and this is really going to slap them in the face.

I love how, with no ability figure out things like “inflation”, or “pandemic killing supply chains means even more inflation”, they’re left with “Brandon took mah terlet papar”.
I lump the “it’s Joe’s fault because we weren’t told by Trump any other ideas” people in with the rest of 'em. They test-drove the circus once already so they knew better.
There are enough voters on the edge who really did vote for lowered cost of living. . . and this is really going to slap them in the face.
Honestly, I hope it rips their fucking faces off. Trump showed who he was during his first term, and it took a “fuck everyone else, gimme what I want” mentality to vote in favor of his second term. As a consequence, U.S. democracy is effectively over and everyone is much worse off for it. The leopards have been feasting, and it’s about to get much, much worse.
Trump showed who he was during his first term
And his entire life has shown his complete and utter fucking ineptitude when it comes to handling money. The only reason he has a cent is because he’s been propped up his entire life… and now he’s been given unfettered access to empty the US Treasury into his own pockets.
Then those people were fucking idiots. Things were shit under Trump 1.0 with the inflation starting under him, it continued with Biden who was trying to keep an economy from collapsing after the Trump idiocy with a pandemic, so brought back in Trump 2.0 to finish the job of wrecking the economy.
Yes. They were ignorant, and stupid, and poorly informed.
Where does that get you? Does writing them off instead of reaching out to them make the world better?
If elections still matter, you need them to win the next election. If elections don’t matter, you need them to overthrow the tyrants. Either way, you need them. You need every single person you can win to your cause. Even the idiots.
You don’t get to work with only people who meet your standards for intelligence, capability, and moral purity. You’re not going to fix the world hanging out in your little “Smarts only” club with the ten other people you deign to associate with.
It’s not my job nor my responsibility to seek out these people fix others stupid.
They are free to reach out but they need to extend the olive branch.
There are too many cultists to weed through to find the one person who is genuinely confused but is somehow unable to navigate their own way out.
Yes, we all agree they’re idiots. That’s old news.
Yet we have people that seems to defend these people like they’re not.
I don’t have a lot of hope of “winning people over”, it might come from living in a red state where people keep voting for the party that fucks them over, they get mad when they get fucked over, then they vote for the party that promises to take away the lube.
Are we getting close enough yet to the hyperinflation stage of Nazi Germany for experts to consider this an issue?
There never was a hyperinflation in Nazi Germany. You are thinking about early 1920s Germany.
I worded my comment poorly. I’m including the rise of the Nazi party as a stage of Nazi Germany. I find the reaction to hyperinflation just as integral as the Beer Hall Putsch (which I often compare to J6) to the existence of Nazi Germany.
I think Trumpler is trying to check all the same boxes and isn’t particular about the order.
One of the only things he has seriously studied in life is Nazism. He has always had an unquestionable fascination with Hitler. I wish I was making this up.
So yeah, it would not surprise me if he and his cabinet are ticking off an all too familiar checklist.
Not quite yet, but as Trump increases his grip on the Federal Reserve, which should reach a tipping point when he appoints a new Chairman in May of 2026, you can bet 100% that monetary policy will hyperinflation on a level never before seen in the U.S… Expect >50% annual inflation level.
I know this is Counter intuitive but how can I make money off of this?
Yippee!!! 50% increase! So you’re saying I should buy all the bread and eggs right now, store them until May of next year, and then I’ll be a billionaire, too???
Me in December: this place smells like shit…
Bread and eggs, no.
Beans and rice… probably.
Everyone’s gonna have beans and rice. I’m gonna be the only one with bread and eggs. And unlike beans and rice, when I need some more, I can plant them and grow more eggs and bread.
A better strategy is to buy real assets like gold and silver, which not only hold their value with inflation, but generally tend to explode in price as people wake up and pile in.
Gold and silver are expensive compared to bread and eggs. You’re just jealous because I came up with the plan first!
In much the same way iron is heavier than feathers!
yes the bread and eggs plan is far superior that’s for sure
Here it comes.
At least there will be lots of new minimum wage jobs for those that have to re-price all the inventory on a weekly basis.
Most stores I go to nowadays have those electronic price tags that can be changed en masse by a corporate drone somewhere from far away. Scary.
Actually changing the price of the SKUs in the system is easy, that’s just a few mouseclicks, but the consumer needs to know the prices, and Walmart is still using stickers on the packages, and paper tags on the shelves. For the near future, that part, the HARD part, is all manual.
I work in Walmarts, and all of my stores have recently(over the last few months) rolled out the e-ink electronic price tags. I wouldn’t be surprised if the tariff drama is the reason they decided to pull the trigger to save a bunch of price-change labor.
That’s exactly why, count on it.
They also jack up their local prices based on need.
When the flood hit Texas, a 5gal water cost 17$.
Two weeks later, back to the normal price of 7.99$
$7.99 for water is ridiculous. Humans literally need it to survive. It should be free.
Like healthcare too, perhaps?
Or, say, housing?
Cool I’ll just shop literally anywhere the fuck else.
Yeah because all the other stores don’t have the same problems… 👌
Wondering how much more of my life I’m going to have to live watching our society become less stable every single time Republicans gain control before Americans put 2 and 2 together.
Based on the last 10 years, I’m assuming it just isn’t going to happen.
based on 45 years you are likely correct.
If they weren’t cowards, they’d add how much is added to the cost due to the tariffs on the price tag.
Easier to get those record profits without the transparency…
No no no… you don’t get it. Walmart isn’t cowards.
They funded Project 2025. This is EXACTLY what they want.
This is BIDENS fault that TRUMP imposed Tariffs that caused our Prices to SOAR!
Might have been that Biden69 guy.
Hey! wanna play a fun game? find a few items in walmart and take note of their price, then take note of the new tariff price, now the fun part, after the tariffs are over see if the price goes back to the pre tariff price (be fair adjust for inflation) .
Spoiler if the items still sell at the tariff price they will only go down a fraction of the tariff increase.
It’s earning season, the numbers are in, and at the end of the day, the execs are more afraid of Wall Street than Trump.
Many more price are finally going to start reflecting tariffs in the states. The big companies are no longer holding back.
Walmart, the Walton family billionaires, publically blaming Trump’s tariffs doesn’t leave much room for Trump, MAGA, or Fox to shift the blame. I suppose they’ll still try, but I think even MAGA will understand the truth, though they may not admit it.
One of my best friends voted Trump, and I have tried like 3x now explaining to him how HE PAYS MORE NOW FOR GOODS because of the tariffs and I think I’m finally getting through to him. But he somehow keeps thinking it’s a net positive 😭 this is what disposable income does to a MF I swear /s
Might wanna consider a new best friend set. If these people haven’t come around yet they just aren’t going to.
You’d be surprised the level of cognitive dissadence.
you’re assuming they look for info about reality anywhere but fox news and truth social
