Kamala Harris for Pres

[The Thriller]

I saw harris propose something that didn't get much attention or discussion: New laws to deter corporations from buying up single-family homes and raising rents. What do people think of this?

Sounds like it might help normal people and hurt rich people and Wall Street investors. So it’s gotta be communism and socialism.

I think it’s a very intriguing idea.

Ya I mean if I had lots of money and wanted lots more money then an easy way to do that would be to buy a bunch of homes and let renters pay my mortgage while the value of the homes also goes up and then 10 years later sell those homes that renters have been paying for at a much higher amount than I paid for them. Awesome for me. Horrible for the renters and anyone who needs to buy a home.

I bought my home for 189,000 in 2008. I can sell it now for like 500,000 dollars. If I had a bunch of money and bought 20 homes instead of one AND rented them out for the last 16 years and then sold them all then I would have made tons of money. Again, awesome for me (the rich guy who had enough money to buy 20 homes in the first place) in this scenario but bad for the renters and people who want to buy homes.

Speaking of greed, wealthy people, caring for others etc. lol: https://www.yahoo.com/news/beach-battle-malibu-billionaire-accused-134105928.html

In a lawsuit filed last week, the local resident James Kohlberg alleges that his neighbor, the billionaire businessman and baseball team owner Mark Attanasio, has been using construction equipment to excavate Malibu’s Broad Beach and move sand on to his private property.
“This case is about a private property owner using a public beach as their own personal sandbox,” the suit claims.

Kohlberg, the son of the founder of the global investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, and Attanasio, who owns the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team, own multiples homes that occupy a stretch of Malibu beach and is unhappy at the corrosion of the beaches around his property so he is simply paying to have people remove the sand from the public beaches and put the sand in the beaches of his homes that he owns lol.

Crazy how different the lifestyles are of billionaires compared to a regular person. Homes in that stretch of beach in malibu sell for up to 210 million dollars and this dude owns multiple of those homes. (probably has a bunch in other parts of the world as well)

From the comments section: I supervised construction projects for rich people on the Westside of LA, including Broad Beach for many years. Every once in a while the well-heeled client would ask us to do something illegal just so they could save a few bucks. They always could afford to do whatever it was legally, but it seemed like the motivation was the thrill of getting away with something. I always refused.

He will deny it, take it to court, drag it out, state employees will change positions and eventually someone new will take over the case and it will never end in anything at all. The end.
That's the Felon exact same game plan every time he's charged.

the rich buy their way around the laws that are in place. their are laws in place.
With Trump President this will be the easy norm

Some Americans simply have no idea of how ridiculously wealthy some Americans are.
Largest wealth gap between the haves and the have-nots in the entire history of our planet, which getting worse day by day, exists in America. While certain leaders still sell us the malarkey that it's social welfare and helping the poor which is the real problem to be addressed.
As long as they have Americans willing to buy their lies, nothing will change.

Our legal system needs to change to fines that are based on an individuals income and not a preset amount. Thus making fines a more equal form of punishment. A homeless person might have to miss a meal over a $5 fine. A billionaire would laugh at a $50,000 fine if he got what he wanted out of it.

Well, here we go again. Another person with money who puts himself above everyone else. So glad they caught him red handed. Now his expensive law firm will have to earn their retainer fees.

I hope they nail this billionaire good. Talk about fair share this one right here threatened to leave Milwaukee if the team didn't get half a billion dollars in tax money from the citizens of Wisconsin to renovate his stadium. Not only is he not paying his fair share in taxes he is spending your tax dollars in his own personal business. MLB whether you like it or not is a corporation. On the back of your ticket it says that they do not owe you a fair legitimate game. They just owe you the entertainment from that said game.

What does he care. He's a billionaire. Any fine he gets he can just simply laugh and pay it off. Seize his property, and he won't do it again.

You might ask yourself, why would a billionaire steal sand, rather than just buy it? And the answer is probably that they possess a sense of entitlement, but also gives a glimpse of how they may have made their money.

I remember Kroger was brought recently. Saw this today: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/com...1&cvid=144b43523d294c859c15d2b8cf0ffdb7&ei=58

In an Aug. 5 letter to Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen, U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bob Casey revealed that they will be launching an investigation into the company’s digital price tags as they are worried that the new technology will open the door for price gouging.
“These digital price tags may enable Kroger and other grocery chains to transition to ‘dynamic pricing,’ in which the price of basic household goods could surge based on the time of day, the weather, or other transitory events – allowing stores to calibrate price increases to extract maximum profits at a time when the amount of Americans’ income spent on food is at a 30-year high,” reads the letter.

The senators also flagged that in February, Kroger began working with IntelligenceNode, which is a company that uses artificial intelligence to “provide dynamic pricing and market analytics solutions.”

They also claim that Kroger’s partnership with Microsoft on developing its EDGE smart shelves, which display digital price tags and ads, is a cause for concern as the technology allegedly has the potential to “exploit sensitive consumer data” through facial recognition tools.

“Through a partnership with Microsoft, Kroger plans to place cameras at its digital displays, which will use facial recognition tools to determine the gender and age of a customer captured on camera and present them with personalized offers and advertisements on the EDGE Shelf,” reads the letter. “EDGE will allow Kroger to use customer data to build personalized profiles of each customer, and then use those profiles ‘to determine how much price hiking each of us can tolerate,’ quickly updating and displaying the customer’s maximum willingness to pay on the digital price tag.”

“It is outrageous that, as families continue to struggle to pay to put food on the table, grocery giants like Kroger continue to roll out surge pricing and other corporate profiteering schemes,” reads the letter.

As consumers are facing higher prices for goods and services across the country due to inflation, the potential for a normalization of dynamic pricing is a major concern as it can lead to even more inflated prices.
According to a 2023 survey by Capterra, most U.S. consumers view dynamic pricing negatively. The survey found that 52% of U.S. consumers equate dynamic pricing to price gouging, while only 34% believe that dynamic pricing is beneficial to consumers.

I’ve seen numerous posts on grocery stores, and others, making record breaking profits. I’d like to expound on that, just a touch.

For simplicity sake, we’re going to use 5% as our profit margin.

So let’s say we make $50,000 on $1,000,000 worth of sales. That’s a 5% margin.

Next year the cost of goods goes up. We make $60,000 on $1,200,000 worth of sales. Still a 5% margin, but our gross profits go up 25%. A new record! Still the same net though. The new record profits is a result, not a cause. Big difference. Keep that in mind when you hear about record profits.

 

[The Thriller]

You might have not understood my post. I was saying right now we are the MOST greedy and LEAST caring.

Im reading a book right now about this man who recently passed away at 108 years old (The Book of Charlie). It talks of his experiences in his life and the things he saw and did and lived through. He talks about companies, like ford, back in the day that really cared about their employees and about society. They would make their products as cheap as they could and still make some profit but not as much profit as possible. He was a doctor and he talks about how himself and his peers in his profession weren't in it for the money and when society had things like depressions and recessions that they would just keep plugging away and not get paid. They would get meals at their patients homes and help putting up a new fence and whatnot as payment.

Anywho, my point was that greed is at an ALL TIME HIGH imo and caring for other is at an ALL TIME LOW and that I think trump encapsulates both things more than just about anyone. I didnt say that greed will go away and that not caring for others will go away. Simply that I think its a bad idea to encourage EVEN MORE greed and EVEN LESS caring like trump does. We can agree to disagree though.

Like imo there are different degrees/amounts of greed. Doesn't mean there is greed or no greed at all. But there can be less and there can be more. Like I could be quite greedy and never contribute to charity and never pitch in to pay for gas when going fishing with a friend or whatever but I might find a wallet with cash in it and return it to the owner. Someone else might also never give to charity and never pitch in for gas but try to find the wallet owner and return it to them with the cash still in there. trump would remove the cash and throw the wallet in the garbage or maybe try to do some grifting/scamming and remove the cash then find the owner and tell them the cash was already gone when he found out and try to get a reward for returning the wallet with the driver license in it at least. (Maybe call them and tell them he has the wallet but won't return it unless they pay him. He likes extortion as we saw with his perfect phone call to Ukraine's leader)

This is a good post.

I believe it’s important to keep things in perspective. Most other industrialized countries have universal health care and more robust social safety nets without masses of people becoming lazy. Does anyone consider the Japanese or Germans to be lacking in work ethic? Do people consider Canada or the UK to be communist? Are the Scandinavian countries unhappy people because they aren’t pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, like Americans?

You are a Communist bastard.

Public beaches and parks is communism. It encourages laziness and sloth. Think how much harder Americans would work if they had to pay ridiculous prices to use the beaches and parks that are currently open to the public? America would be a much better place if all land was held by the handful of rich and powerful. Abolish all public land!

Think how much better utah would be if Ryan smith owned the cottonwood canyons, all rivers, and legacy park? Think how much harder you’d work if in order to fish you had to pay Disneyland like prices? The real victims in America today are people like Trump. /s

Btw the other week I went to my favorite park up Provo canyon And grilled some dogs. We had a great time just enjoying being outside. Paid nothing (aside from taxes) to hang out there with a bunch of other families in a well maintained and beautiful public park. It’s pretty cool what we humans can do together. Of course, rich greedy people like Trump think we’re chumps and losers, undeserving of using parks.

Something to pay attention to:


View: https://youtu.be/FK4RHzNHZXY

 

[fishonjazz]

Companies use their outsized role in a given market to raise prices without fear of a competitor offering a comparable product at a more affordable price. Consumers are left with nowhere to turn.

The grocery industry exemplifies the damage caused by mega corporations. Extreme consolidation in the food industry has led to higher prices that account for a large part of higher grocery bills.
Grocery store profit margins surged in 2021 and rose even higher two years later, even after price increases had begun to cool, a Federal Trade Commission study in March showed.

To control the price hikes, Harris proposed a federal ban on price gouging for food and groceries. While details remain limited, the plan could resemble price-gouging bans in place in 37 states, which prohibit a sudden spike in prices for scarce goods.
Lindsay Owens, executive director of the Groundwork Collective, in a statement on Friday echoed the Harris campaign's criticism of the broken market for groceries.

"Price gouging, price fixing, and just plain profiteering are rampant in the food and grocery sector," Owens said. "There is still more the government can do to reduce food and grocery concentration and stop the cheating that is costing families dearly."

Some economists, however, rejected the notion of corporate power as an important cause of inflation, saying a limit on price hikes could result in shortages of goods.

"Most of the inflation over the past few years has been caused by increases in costs," Steven Hamilton, a professor of economics at George Washington University, told ABC News. Hamilton acknowledged that price increases for some groceries may owe to corporate concentration, but said it doesn't stand as a primary cause of overall inflation.

"You have to be careful not to cherry pick," Hamilton said.

Michael Jones, an economics professor at the University of Cincinnati, said a government-imposed ceiling on prices could cause stores to run out of goods in times of scarcity.

"If there's a restriction on the prices that companies can charge for products, they simply won't supply them," Jones told ABC News.




Plans to grow the supply of homes include a tax incentive for companies that build starter homes and affordable rental homes, the Harris campaign said. The campaign's plans to aid buyers feature a $25,000 subsidy for first-time homebuyers.

Economists who spoke to ABC News lauded the Harris campaign's effort to boost housing supply, but offered differing opinions about the support for homebuyers.

"The reason that housing prices have gone up in most places in America is that supply is limited," Hamilton, of George Washington University, told ABC News. "That commitment to increase supply is rare among politicians but it's something that economists should praise.

Some economists said the subsidies for homebuyers threaten to undermine the price cuts achieved through additional supply. If prospective buyers know they'll receive a subsidy of $25,000 from the government, they'll boost their asking price by that amount, said Jones, of the University of Cincinnati. As a result, he added, home prices will rise.

"If they have $25,000 more to spend on a house, they'll submit bids up to $25,000 higher for the home," Jones said. "That policy in particular is a bad idea because it won't bring the price of housing down."

Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, said the combination of supply growth and homebuyer support could work effectively as long as Harris focuses on boosting supply before she bolsters consumers.

"You've got to put the horse before the cart," Zandi said. "It's a matter of timing."



The Harris campaign said it aims to keep some money in middle-class consumers' pockets by reducing their tax burden.

The plans include a restoration of the expanded child tax credit of $3,600 per child that expired in 2022. Harris also proposed an additional, new $6,000 child tax credit for families with a child in the first year of life.

The tax cuts for families drew wide support from economists who spoke to ABC News, though some emphasized the importance of accompanying those proposals with revenue-raising measures that will offset the tax reductions.

"A child tax credit expansion is fantastic and I would fully support it, as long as they find way to pay for it," said Hamilton, of George Washington University. "This is a policy targeted toward people who really need it, and families who really need it."

For its part, the Harris campaign said on Friday that it would safeguard the federal government's financial health, in part by increasing taxes on wealthy individuals as a means of offsetting middle-class tax cuts.

People need to stop overreacting about Kamala’s plan to reduce food inflation, as if it would lead to communism, mass starvation, and the end of America.I worked in M&A in the food industry. Here’s a step-by-step summary of what would actually happen:

1. The government announces that grocery retailers aren’t allowed to raise prices.

2. Grocery stores, which operate on 1-2% net margins, can’t survive if their suppliers raise prices. So the government announces that food producers (Kraft Heinz, ConAgra, Tyson, Hormel, et. al.) also aren’t allowed to raise prices.

3. Not all grocery stores are created equal. Stores in lower-income areas make less money than those in higher-income areas, as the former disproportionately sell lower-margin prepackaged foods (“center of the store”) instead of higher-margin fresh products like meat (“perimeter of the store”). Because stores in lower-income areas aren’t able to cover overhead (remember, even if their wholesale costs are fixed, their labor, utilities, insurance, and other operating expenses aren’t fixed… yet), grocery chains start to shut them down. Food deserts in rural areas and in low-income urban areas alike become worse.

4. Meanwhile, margins for food producers are also quickly eroding. Their primary costs (ingredients, energy, and labor) aren’t fixed, and their shrinking gross profits leave less cash flow available to cover overhead, maintain facilities, and reinvest in additional production capacity.

5. Grocery chains, which have finite shelf space, start to repurpose their stores (those they didn’t have to shut down, I should say) to sell more non-price-controlled items—everything from nutrition supplements to kitchenware to apparel—and less price-controlled food products. Your local Kroger or Safeway starts to look and feel more like a Walmart.

6. Food producers stop making products with lower margins. Grocery chain start competing with each other to secure inventory. Since they can’t compete by offering stronger prices (remember, producers aren’t allowed to raise prices here, and, even if they could, grocery chains no longer have the gross profit to bear price increases), they compete on things like payment terms.

7. Small grocery chains start to shut down entirely, or get sold to larger chains like Kroger. In addition to not being able to cover fixed costs, a major reason for this is because they can no longer reliably secure delivery of products, due to producers prioritizing sales to larger customers, which are able to leverage their stronger balance sheets to offer superior payment terms.

8. Smaller food producers—which typically sell via distributors, rather than directly to grocery chains—start to go out of business. Because these producers have an additional step their value chains, and because they have lower volumes over which to spread their fixed costs, their cost structure is inherently disadvantaged compared to major food producers. When grocery stores aren’t able to raise prices, cutting product costs becomes all the more important, and deprioritizing purchases from smaller producers is an easy way to do so.

9. As supply chains break down, lines start to form outside grocery stores every morning. Cities assign police officers to patrol store parking lots, and food producers draft contingency plans to assign armed escorts to delivery trucks.

10. The federal government announces a program to issue block grants for states to purchase and operate shuttered grocery stores. The USDA also seizes closed-down production facilities.

11. The government announces that prices for all key food costs—corn, wheat, cattle, energy, etc.—are also now fixed, to stop “profiteers” from gouging the now-government-operated food industry.

12. Shockingly, the government struggles to operate one of the most complex industries on the planet. The entire food supply chain starts imploding.

13. Communism, mass starvation, and the end of America quickly ensue.

They are illegal immigrants. They are here illegally. They are immigrants. It is the most accurate and factual term for what they are. It’s not derogatory, it’s just accurate. It’s not like you or I can just move to Australia and live there without going through their processes.

I’ve spoken against Trump many times. I don’t need to prove myself to you. We’re not talking about Trump. We’re talking about your language, where you said we need illegal immigrants for cheap labor. And how apparently, that’s a fine way to talk. Can’t call them illegal, but we can sure as hell say they’re good for cheap labor!

I agree, I was going to post the same thing. If you're here without express permission you're here illegally so nothing wrong with referring to someone as an illegal immigrant.

Except, Trump isn’t referring to “illegal immigrants.” Why are you giving him the benefit here? What has Trump or Ricky in this case, done to deserve such credibility? Just yesterday Ricky posted that project 2025 wasn’t in Donald’s agenda. He’s gaslighting you. Why are you giving bad faith actors such credibility?

Trump has repeatedly said that he’s going to deport undocumented immigrants, asylum seekers, DREAMers, and political dissidents.

Deporting millions of immigrants, asylum seekers, and American citizens will cost us, bigly. Economically, socially, and morally. This is not how democratic countries act. Instead of focusing on deporting millions, why not focus on overhauling our immigration system? Hire more judges to hear asylum seekers’ cases, invest in workers’ visas, and streamline the process to immigrate? Immigrants give America an advantage over countries like China because of their labor, families, and ideas.

Ricky is either an idiot or a total Trumptard(same thing) if he believes that about Trump and Project 2025.

I'm not in favor of deporting those who are here already but immigrants should gain permission before entering the USA. We need to put more resources toward border control to make it equitable for those trying to move here and to allow us to filter who gets in. By far some of the best Americans are our immigrants and that's always been the case. My parents were both immigrants to the USA as adults and they were the most hard-working people I've ever known. I see it today too. We are incredibly fortunate to continue to attract so many great people who have such determination to make a better life for themselves and their families. I have zero doubt that in the long run these immigrants will make us better, as they always have.

Also I’m going to bring up a point here with supermarket profit margins. Most food and drinks, like some health care, is not a necessity.

Chips, Soda, Ice cream, Coffee, Alcohol, ect are luxury items. These products are not required or nutritional for survival or a food necessity. Walking down Publix right now, most of the store is not necessity. 20% of this store is meat, fruit, pasta, vegetables, bread, dairy. There are more rows of alcohol than meat or dairy. The frozen section is made up of 10-15% of fruits and vegetables and the rest is frozen pizza, appetizers, treats and breakfast novelty items.

The idea that there is price gouging at supermarkets is not realistic. These stores are more like a luxury food market, not a food bank or a bishops warehouse. As much as I love Dr Pepper, the government has no right to set prices on it.

That’s what the market is for. I use to buy candy bars for .33. Now they are $2.69. I will never purchase these products anymore. Figure out a cheaper way to produce them and distribute them, then I might be back in the market for one standing in line.

First world problems… first world bitching.

So maybe don't allow price gouging on meat, fruit, pasta, vegetables, bread, dairy at least?
I'm down with that.

Ya people who don't think trump is tied to project 2025 probably also don't think trump did anything shady with Epstein.

I just saw an interview with trump and trump was being asked if he would declassify the files on the JFK assassination if he were president. Quickly answered yes he would. Asked if he would declassify the files on 911. Quickly answers yes. Was asked if he would declassify the Epstein files. He hesitates then says he would "but I think those files less so because you don't know, you don't want to effect people's lives if there's some phony stuff in there, cause there's a lot of phony stuff in that world but I think I would". The interviewer asks if trump thinks declassifying these things would restore trust and trump says "I don't know about Epstein so much as I do the others"

Then of course there is all of this smoke but I'm sure trump never did anything wrong with Epstein. Trump was just out there avoiding STD's in his own personal Vietnam like war. (Plus all the dozens and dozens of sexual assault accusations including a court loss for sexual assault)

You always gotta give good guys like trump the benefit of the doubt.
