No stores dont create demand and they dont control pricing because the consumer can just click their phone to order online for cheaper if the local store is too high. The problem is our gov has intentionally raised energy prices while at the same time printing and spending dollars into hyper inflation. Dont get it twisted.

I'm in Australia. We have two major supermarkets who have been profiting billions. A greed driven sham. But for our, curently failing, financial system to work, money spent by consumers must be 'recalled' as soon as possible, paid by taxes, tariffs, utilities, rates etc to 'balance the books'. Its how it was designed to work, to keep inflation from spiralling. Printing money by lazy, corrupt grubberments and credit taken on by consumers has simply fkt everything up. Debts cannot be repaid. I feel for young couples with children, 46% of this group in Australia are experiencing financial stress.

As Aussie taxes go, You guys have a large "living on the Dole" system and all those refugees that entered to live on the Dole.

My guess is this is a preemptive move based on the impending impact of tariffs as we rely heavily on imported components. I don’t expect this to end well for the foreseeable future.

It's really obvious how the dollar generals can't sell things this year. They had summer stuff left for longer than usual, Halloween and harvest decor at the same time, and you could tell they had no room to start fitting in the Christmas stuff. They have clearance stuff all thrown in bins like they don't even care if the stuff gets crushed because there's just too much. The bin will say it's 50% off but it never rings up as that so they basically trick you into grabbing more. Right now there's Halloween candy that's so expensive for such small bags that the clearance price isn't even making it sell, I can't imagine how much it might cost give out candy on Halloween if a lot of kids showed up. It's been obvious to me that people aren't going big on holidays. And I'm talking about like 4 different dollar generals, not just one. I've never seen products just sit around as much as this. Summer stuff used to always sell fast no matter what, this summer it was like they had to beg people to take it. For awhile Arby's got so expensive the coupons weren't even cheap so I just gave up on them. Now I see their coupons have a few good deals again. I think they reach a certain point in their price gouging where they realize there's not enough customers anymore and they're doing worse, but they still can't lower prices to pre-inflation era levels.

You’re not very smart are you. Every single thing that is made in the United States contains components that are produced overseas. Everything that is imported Trump has promised to put a tariff on of at least 20%. That 20% will be paid by the companies importing them for their manufacturing here. That additional cost will be passed on to the consumers. So if you buy something that would have cost you $100 will now cost you $120.00. Now just think how much more you will be paying for nearly everything you buy. And even if something could be made here, it would take a year or two to build the facilities to produce them and many things just can’t be made here since the United States doesn’t have the necessary raw materials to make them. Just take tires as an example. They’re made from rubber. Rubber is not a commodity that the United States can produce, not now, not ever. It’s produced from the rubber plant. The rubber plant is a native plant to the Amazon rainforest, but now grown in tropical and subtropical regions, especially Southeast Asia and Western Africa. The United States doesn’t have tropical or subtropical rainforests.

Sale prices at the grocery store, along with coupons, help a bit. But sale prices are pretty much equal to what normal prices were just a few years ago. It's $120 per hour, or more, for labor rates at the mechanic. Doing laundry is a killer if can't have a machine and need to go to a Laundromat. Health care costs are through the roof. Deductibles are so high you never get to the point when you only pay the co-pays. Dental care is insanely expensive now. ONE implant can cost $5,000 DOLLARS!! Everywhere I go stores are closing. Not just the big retailers but the small storefronts are vacant all over. Commercial office space is vacant all over, and the price of a house, as well as rent in my area is prohibitively expensive. We were considering dropping our cable TV service until they lowered our rate if we kept it. We did, but for how long I do not know.

A capitalist country with a social system that supports health care, education and financial help for the lowest wages . Heaven on earth😅 absolutely not Of course we complain about taxes but on the other side is the American system where one has everything and the other lives on the street. Now, the election in the US was on the news everywhere. Harris seemed to lean more to the European way , So does Bernie Sanders. Trump will make America great again, rise tariffs on import. and China will pay taxes to the US? Why? Because they are so friendly to buy what THEY need? Does that not sound funny? No country pays taxes in another country The consumer does. If Trump keeps word your prices will rise sky high Trump and Elon will fix it

The Stores Need To Hire Armed Guards To Welcome The Customers Instead Of Half Dead Senior Citizens!

[@OctavioAraujo]

Stores like Dollar General suppose to be flourishing in this bad economy, but it's quite the opposite. This is bad folks

[@sallyrucker8990]

The billionaires are going to get a big lesson. We, the People, are tired of forced consumerism. Pretty much done with giving billionaires any more of my money. Where do they think they get their profits from? Without us, they won’t be rich anymore.

Bring back the American industrial complex and problem is solved. Pump oil

[@brianlowe3529]

But drilling own Oil Will cost more than importing it . Us will have to build new refining plants. Cost billions .

​@@saintgermain6031the economy isn't trumps fault and will take until 2026 to really get the dollar value back if it's even possible. That's why Elon is trying to doge the system to prevent the US from going bankrupt
