Will the inevitable inflation destroy the Dollar Store ? ...

[dogtag]

I say inevitable because with a 30 trillion dollar deficit already
a fact and with tax and spend crazy democrats in control,
I don't see how it can be avoided.
Will it become the Two Dollar Store or the Fifty Dollar Store ?
The Stores are a blessing for those with low incomes and there
are a few items I go there for. I'd miss it if it west bust. So
would many others.

It?s already here. A six pack of Mickey?s beer sold at a WM Neighborhood Market last week was $5.68, today it?s $6.72. Gasoline is gone up 30%.

It is all a part of the plan to destroy the middle class. To make Communism work you have to get rid of and destroy the hard working independent middle class, all religions, and the American Dream that hard work and perseverance will lead to success. The NSDP goal is to have two classes of people, slaves and billionaires.

So, now the last actual election where the common folks had a voice has been destroyed and died in 2020.with the totally corrupt ballot fishing, computer algorithms, and fake absentee ballots that were printed off after the fact.

The fight is over and America is done. It is a new world and the Bill Of Rights no longer exists. Burning books and the outright destruction of free speech is a all out attack on on our Constitution and unopposed.

The cost of name changes will put them out of business. The ten spot. Twenty will do ya. Benjamin's super discount.

Official Fed benchmark for inflation is 2%, which is to say they fear deflation more, so they like a margin of safety. Deflation is scary because it spirals quickly--if you expect a thing to be cheaper tomorrow, why buy today? Deflation sends things downhill fast.

They tend to leave fuel prices out of inflation calcs because of the volatility. Oil producers lost a lot of money in 2020 so right now everyone is selling down their stocks, not trying to increase pumping.

When the manufacturers are hit with huge tax increases, guess what happens? The manufacturers pay the commies the tax and THEN pass it on to the buyer....US! Everything will increase in price! Red is spot on! The commies do not want a middle class. Notice how the commies in D.C. are pushing for more gun laws and gun registration? When they get that we are without means to defend our selves. Communism is what we are left with.

No, they leave it out because it's a true measure of inflation which they wish to hide.

Isn't beer a kind of fuel? My rule used to be, $6/ six pack. Things are starting to move in the economy. The Fed just had a meeting yesterday and said(Powell) they are staying the course. 2% is the number we hear but that's not in stone. The stock market seems a little jumpy now days.

I have explained before, businesses do not PAY taxes, they COLLECT taxes -- from us.

There are business taxes, but they are prorated into the prices of goods and services before they collect the sales taxes. So, when they collect the taxes as a percentage, we are also paying tax on taxes.
That's why 'taxing the rich' is only tightening the noose around our own gonads. Besides that, in all my life a poor man never gave me a paycheck.

The customer (that's you and me) is the one who actually pays. Anyone who believes taxes on businesses do not trickle down to the customer is an Amadan.

Someone above just mentioned gas prices increased 30% with the inference that's what we can now expect under a Dem Government .

that may be true... but what is also true is a year ago... as in 12 months.... my commercial cleaning service was paying twice as much for a particular brand of multi purpose cleaner than it did 18 months prior. And we purchase a lot of it. Same could be said for numerous other business necessities .

Forget the business expenses... how about a can of Progresso brand clam chowder that was averaging $1.79 a can 24 months ago and 12 months ago was hitting $2.49 at the local Publix supermarket ?

My property taxes increased last year and the water rates jumped 7 % and the home owners insurance policy increased another $400 dollars per annum with never having made a claim .

So am I to believe these tax breaks for corporations were really a " benefit " to me ?

None the less.... "G" Damn them Dems as I'm paying 30 cents a gallon more for gas

so 12 months ago, are the prices still higher now or did you seek other brands that may be cheaper?

$2,19 here, today,
maybe cheaper at Food Kitty or Kroger, publix is the higher of the 3 in this area
