It was more than just Yellen saying it, but either way so we've hit on Biden's blame in it all. What blame do you place on Trump for inflation?

Too many people- and many here, but not all- seem to have this idea that when a new President comes in the reset button gets hit on the economy and we start all over. That isn't the way it works so there are some things Obama did that Trump was building on and some things Trump did that Biden was building on and so on and so forth. It's okay to hit both sides on this

so many assumptions. I said months ago here- months ago, to you directly- that the inflation came from a myriad of issues and both Biden and Trump have some blame in it. I never have, nor would I, saddle it all on Trump and I would argue with anyone who tries to. You should remember that discussion- it's the one where you used the video of the dude with the skeleton in his basement off YouTube as evidence of your argument. I think you might not know what the word "some" means. That might be the issue. I didn't say it was all supply chain issues. I said some of it was. Yes there were also labor shortages here and abroad. There were a number of reasons for that as well- excess money, flipped power to employees, unvaccinated workers (which is something more from countries overseas arguing this last one). Some economists said the inflation was transitory, some said it was persistent. He listened to the wrong ones it appears. Even with the wrong advice being followed we still avoided the hard landing. I'll grant that may very well be getting the right result with the wrong leadup making it more accidental than purposeful. So to repeat- there were a lot of factors that led to inflation beginning in the middle of 2021- supply chain issues, artificially inflated demand, extra money pumped into the system, economic dislocations, and bad policy from two presidencies from different angles, and some price gouging sprinkled in there. All that without random capitol lettering throughout.

I mean I don't think anyone is naïve enough to believe that...well maybe real tim

So the international teamsters union is not endorsing anyone in the election but the local teamster chapters in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada are endorsing Harris/Walz. I believe one in PA had already endorsed them. Again it shows how there is a difference in national and local unions and what they look for with their endorsements. Obviously though this doesn't necessarily change anything about someone's voting habits and you certainly aren't locked into whatever your union- locally or nationally- supports

IIRC there was an avian flu outbreak in the middle of some of this which they (the companies) used to blame the price of eggs on

Which assertion?

Inflation began in the middle of 2021 and was pretty worldwide. Some of that was supply chain issues. Some of those supply side issues were exacerbated by higher demand due to the US having more cash flowing through the system (which the argument was it would prevent deflation which would be tougher to combat than inflation). Then we had some world issues like Russia and Ukraine which cause some more issues with stuff like gas, oil, and overall energy prices. The two biggest drivers of this inflation spike were food and energy- both relatively volatile industries. The commonly held idea is that inflation peaked in 2022 and has slowly- albeit it too slowly- drifted down. In addition to some of this- a study found that gasoline retail price margins increased by 62% from February 2020 to May 2023. Also, a Kroger pricing executive put into an email that with milk and eggs that retail inflation was significantly higher than cost inflation.

You are just desperately reaching now

Find the quote or STFU

I'll just add passive aggressive to the list of the many words you've shown you don't know the definition of over the years here.

Find the quote or STFU. Although you do support the party of making up stories so it makes sense you would want to keep lying

I don't think it matters one way or the other who Cheney endorses. In this GOP there is no one who is going to switch their vote to Kamala because of Cheney. So I care neither about Cheney nor his endorsement. But to Raiders I love it and cheered the endorsement- despite me not saying a single word about it.

Jeudy is very good. Cooper is still the superstar. This is a bad defense so it feels like the type of game where they will feed Cooper

Find the quote or STFU

Whatever you have to say to make yourself feel better....find the quote about me supporting Cheney's endorsement or STFU

So you are just another useless sack of sh!t here who lies and then gets pissy, doesn't post evidence, and hides when you get called on it and resorts to the same tired "you are the libs team" nonsense. The latter part of which is ironic because everytime you get smoked for spreading MAGA gospel you cry and say "I'm the most centrist guy here." We know who you are dude

Nice try but you said I was excited for Cheney supporting her. Please find that quote. TIA

I guess you are still looking for the quote I asked you to provide. You could just be a man and take the L though...

What will be interesting is consistently throughout polling people have indicated they feel they are doing well financially but the economy is bad. Will the rate drop help some perception of the overall economy?

Quoting someone's words about me without directly addressing me is avoiding confrontation which would fit under the definition of being passive aggressive. Maybe you'd have preferred I call you a pvssy? HTH

No I do. You don't understand what it means...similar to everything else you don't understand.

That's right....I forgot you don't understand how conversations work when you passively aggressively mention people. We established that numerous times.

This is what I saw in the article I read: I think there are some things on the timeline that aren't known yet as far as what they knew and when they knew it. I feel like once they realized there was still fetal tissue the coverage should have advanced some. I do understand giving the meds to get rid of the sepsis but it feels like if she was struggling with that there is more that they should have done at a quicker pace. The article also seems to indicate they didn't know about the hysterectomy need until they opened her up

Again is this where you are going to cry because I follow you around the board? Were you jealous that I wasn't paying attention to you? Of course they did.
