Walmart sends huge warning about US economy (people are broke)

Thats been the plan all along. Walmart & big stores put the small, local businesses out & as time goes by when they’ve crushed all the competition they jack the prices up & you have no other real options, & the Walmarts & Amazons control it all. ( sort of like VP’s communist “Price Control” plan).

Thats been the the plan all along. Walmarts and Amazons came into areas, slowly pushing the smaller businesses out and once they’ve crushed them, the Walmarts and Amazons & gov control it all, then jack up the prices higher than they’ve ever been.

Also, the fact your business failed doesn't mean you should give up.

Walmart has always been cheaper than most places, no surprise there. What is a surprise is a few years ago Walmart began to test a pricing scheme where a particular item, let's say their Great Value food storage bags, which comes in various counts like 25, 50, or 75 in a box... They must've figured out that most people buy the larger count boxes because they think they're saving money, and in the past that was true, but Walmart was and probably still is cashing in on this consumer phenomenon by increasing the price of the larger quantity boxes while the smaller quantities are cheaper, don't believe me next time you go to Walmart take the price of something and divide it by the ounces or quantity, then do the same for the larger and smaller ones. You might find a particular item is cheaper in the smaller size or quantity.

I try to shop only discounted items, and my family has had to seriously cut down, particularly on meats. Anyway, at the till, i scanned the meats first. What I purchased was a single 1lb chub of ground beef, a small rotisserie chicken, a package of breakfast sausage (26 sausages), two packets of Great Value bacon, and a package of 6 chicken breasts. It all rang up to $98. Almost $100. I hate going grocery shopping because it seems like every trip is more disheartening than the last 😢

Hi together. Some thoughts from Germany. For 20 years or more, companies began to produce in China in a huge way. In the short run revenues was increasing pretty well. People had money to consume.But unfortunately the producing jobs went to China. So people have no money anymore. They have no choose. They have to buy cheap chinese products. Good for China, bad for the west. Solution is to bring the production jobs home. A wide spreading middle class is most important for a healthy society. Second thing is inflation. Cheap money helps an ultrarich class first. They got the money first from the Central Bank to buy land,houses,shares, raw materials and so on. Prices ares rising, but people have no money anymore. So at some point there is a huge disbalance. A huge crash will follow at some point. How huge, nobody knows. But Warren Buffet seems to have an idea. Best regards and good luck to all Marc

Im 26, last time I remember going to a walmart was when I was a teenager. I cannot afford anything there now as an adult. I am lucky to be working a job where I make more money than my peers. I get my groceries at Aldi and anything I need for the house I get at thrift stores. I dont have rhe best paying job, but I make more than most of my friends. I dont understand how they are surviving when im living paycheck to paycheck. Something has got to change, but it doesnt seem like nobody in government cares...

[@cs82271]

An example I saw of this was our apple cider. The Kroger cider is terrible in quality, but only $4 for a half-gallon. Meanwhile our luxury brand was of a much, much higher quality and was very enjoyable to have. But because it was $6, almost nobody bought them. Seriously, last week we sold, on average, three of the luxury cider per day. That's two boxes a week for an item that's in extremely high demand right now

I consume a couple of pounds of beef per month by default from not growing up in a household of food. I use it for flavor mostly. However, I spend about 60$ per month on ground beef as part of homemade dog food. Natural Grocers is an organic store that sells a brand of hamburger titled Thousand Hills. It is grass fed from birth to slaughter. I could drive 50 miles to save one $ per pound, but I still don't trust those local ranchers to not feed GMO grain just prior to slaughter. It took much research to reach this knowledge. I appreciate your posting of indisputable information.

The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future.

The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.

This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform.
