Access to cheap goods is not the essence of the American dream. :fellforitagainaward2: :marseylaughpoundfist:

https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1897711867969294608

No the American Dream has changed for now… a country without gross corruption for our kids is all I care about. With criminals in jail! That is my American dream!

:#marseyclueless:

Would a return to 'Made in America' be such a terrible thing? No one said it would be cheap or easy. But if we aren't willing to put everything on the line to accomplish our goal of fixing this country, what are we even doing here?

Trump said he'd bring down prices "on Day One".

No backtracking now. He said he could do it in a single day.

:#soy4dchess:

I thought we were voting for cheap eggs and an affordable American dream.

Have you noticed the egg prices rising lately? Did it occur to you that maybe building more poultry farms and manufacturing more eggs could help with that? What about rents, has it occurred to you that manufacturing more housing could help with that too?

The idea that Paul sucks off John for $100, then John sucks off Paul for $100, and then they bring their hard earned money to Peter* who actually makes stuff, has certain attractiveness I guess, a certain elegant circularity, but only in a situation when there's so much shit available to everyone that they'd rather have their peepee sucked than buy a marginal egg or a marginal sqft of housing. If you look around and see that most people barely make ends meet, then having a service based economy is not a solution to the problem of overabundance, but a symptom of something being very wrong with the economy.

[*]: or half the time not to Peter but to Chong Ling who generously provides the stuff on credit, for now.

America produces more eggs than we can possibly consume lmao.

egg prices are up due to a bird flu causing widespread culls, and only in some parts of the country.

i stopped reading here because you literally thought the issue with eggs rn was fricking not producing enough lol.

eggs are also an easy one - when you get into material consuming industries by throwing up trade barriers and reducing the supply of raw materials you increase costs.

even if we wanted to go into your housing example - trade barriers again, increase material costs thus making housing more expensive.

America produces more than enough eggs except it doesn't due to culls, but it does, when it does not doesn't.

Yeah, and producing materials locally is obviously not an option, sucking each other's peepees is more profitable.

the issue with eggs in America has nothing to do with production lmao, it was an act of nature reducing supply. like you understand if we produced even more eggs than we do, the flu culls would still apply to that increased production, correct? the areas shorted on eggs would still be shorted on eggs, what you're saying makes literally no sense.

America doesn't even import eggs outside of events like this, we have more than enough production.

Let me try to articulate this for you lil guy - when something can be sourced locally it almost always is, when we source something over great distances it is because the supply does not exist. either way we vastly increase the supply by having access to resources in other countries, thus driving costs down either way.

So you're sure that the prices will return to the pre-flu, pre-Biden levels, as Trump promised?

America is short on clay, limestone, sand, and wood?

probably? the point about the trump egg stuff is they were always r-slurred liars you clown, We're making fun of them when we talk about eggs.

they won't go down to pre-biden levels however, they'll go down to normal price.

America is short on clay, limestone, sand, and wood?

Yes, actually. when we source something from other countries it's because the supply does not exist here or the costs are too high.

There are barges full of limestone arriving to Portland? Seriously, Pizza?

let me ask you this, why do you think we source things from other countries?

I want you to think real hard about this.
