A look at consumer prices 6 months into the second Trump administration

8. Prices are just arbitrarily going up

No matter what the government claims, prices are just going up and up because the filthy-rich know they can get away with it because there is no federal oversight. Red states are the worse at over charging.

I bought a self propelled wheelbarrow for doing some work in a tight space. I started looking in January, they were about $400, I should have bought it then. By August they were $700. It could have just been surge pricing. They up the price of a product when you need it most and most people don't need a wheelbarrow in winter.

But the fact that the CEOs and board room elites feel perfectly comfortable charging more just because they can, clearly indicates no government agency gives a f*ck about excessive prices.

And I got about 10 tons of rock put on my driveway. Two years ago it cost me about $300. This month it cost me $500. There are no tariffs on local rocks, the price to dig it out of the ground hasn't changed that much and gasoline prices are down here. Why the 66% price increases?

The filthy-rich class is just charging whatever they want and know no one gives a f*ck and no one will do anything about it.
