Grandma is a Trumper and seems to think prices are going to start coming down.

Good luck with that. I'm not holding my breath.

@evistre

That IS what they were promised. Not going to happen.

@amarand @evistre I saw a post about a guy commenting in the grocery line about being excited for prices to drop in January. Every woman within earshot laughed at him. 😂

@Autumn @amarand

I want whatever hopium they're huffing, to some extent, because it all looks so dire over here.

Ah well. I'll stock up on popcorn.

@Autumn @amarand

(I hope y'all know I'm not above at least one petty dig when prices do rise; I'll try to report back so y'all can share in the second-hand schadenfreude.)

Wait until their migrant-worker-picked fruits and veggies go UP 20-40% and durable goods go up 10-20%. It’s all going to add up. Tax breaks for the rich also means either raised taxes for everyone else and/or lack of infrastructure investment. Crappy roads and bridges. Not enough civil servants to deal with issues. Longer wait times. Reduced benefits. More rejections. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.
