Are we getting close enough yet to the hyperinflation stage of Nazi Germany for experts to consider this an issue?
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.
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.
And flour. And a bread-maker.
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!
yes the bread and eggs plan is far superior that’s for sure
In much the same way iron is heavier than feathers!
You people have been saying this for 100 years. It’s gonna be true aaaaaany day now…
I know this is Counter intuitive but how can I make money off of this?
Buy real assets like gold and silver. There is a reason why they are near their all-time highs, and the general public hasn’t piled in yet. The current bull run has been largely driven by central bank purchases. When the shit hits the fan there will be exponential growth.
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.
Here it comes.
But Trump told me that they won’t do this and he’s watching them!! How could they go against daddy Trump! 🤣
They need to eat that cost! That’s what their stockholders want! It’s what’s best for business AND consumers 🙄
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.
You’d be surprised the level of cognitive dissadence.
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.
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…
Then they couldn’t pad the prices with extra grifting, or keep the prices inflated after TACO caves.
No no no… you don’t get it. Walmart isn’t cowards.
They funded Project 2025. This is EXACTLY what they want.
“Eat the tariffs” - As if companies like Walmart would love to make less profits just to please politics. Heck, they usually pay politicians to help them make more profits!
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.
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.
Oh they want to price gouge now that everyone is excited for the radioactive shrimp
Get your “I did that!” stickers ready
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.
Yeah but then the liberal freeloaders won’t have incentive to work /s
Like healthcare too, perhaps?
Or, say, housing?
What do they mean “on a week to week basis”? We’ve been shown, based on their television adverts in the last decade, that the little yellow price ball does that all the time. Were those commercials fake news?! /s
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.
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.
