>Retailers don’t reduce prices unless there’s a significant drop in demand, such as during periods of high unemployment. “As terrible as inflation is, that is really undesirable,” said Matt Colyar, an economist at Moody’s Analytics.>Ironically, falling prices can both signal a recession and trigger one.>“Think about what would happen if the price of all goods would drop to the pre-pandemic level,” said Francesco Bianchi, who chairs the economics department at Johns Hopkins University. The inflation of recent years also has driven up workers’ wages. If wages stay high but the price of goods fall, companies won’t make enough profit to pay their employees. “That would make the cost of hiring workers extremely high, and that might trigger a recession — and then the recession creates even more expectation for lower prices. This is why economists are very concerned about deflation.”https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/11/30/consumer-high-prices-economy/
>>522619493While don’t they take money from the executive class and redistribute it to the workers as a cost of buisness? They can always trim the fat elsewhere
>>522619493Inflation will never go down, prices will always go up, and if you complain you're a communist. They say in harlann county there are no neutrals there
>>522619555Sounds like socialism pal. You're not some commie are you? Oh also the country needs endless growth or it withers and dies
>>522619493Bullshit. Several years ago walmart bought too many grills and ended up storing them. The shelf time was a major blow to their JIT model and cost them a lot. Ended up with a 90% discount the next year. Prices can drop at any time. But the expectation that it will not is a tool for the federal reserve.

>>522619493>falling prices can both signal a recession and trigger one.WE ARE IN A FUCKING RECESSION

When you invest in things line can only go up! If line goes down market failure
>>522619493>journos must be killed - and here's why it's a good thing
we are already in a recession, a few years back they changed the definition of a recession so we would not technically be in one. But we are still in that funk and tacked on the AI bubble since then.
>>522619493Oh man, it's too bad that there aren't any alternatives that would hurt the elites even more than lowering prices.
>>522619493
>>522619493Damn fucking right theres a downside, share holders wont be getting profit, how dare you poor fuckers expect share holders to lose money. Prices should go up more.
>>522619493>The inflation of recent years also has driven up workers’ wagesPfffff hahahahahahaha these retards really live in a parallel universe or some shit.
>>522619493>unless there’s a significant drop in demandAnd what happens then is they artificially reduce supply.prices never go down. the "free market" is a myth. "supply and demand" is a myth. if demand ever goes down they will sell less to keep supply less than demand at all times.these kikes can spew whatever bullshit they like, it's all just that. kike bullshit. they saw lockdown price profit margins and they will never let it go, the price never goes down.
>>522619493>we push the prices up every 2 months, and they've doubled or more in the last 3-4 years, but that's a GOOD THING>AND WE'LL NEVER STOPnote the price of raw materials is the same as it was over 10 years ago - but you pay 2-2.5x the amount for the same food as 5 years ago.fucking hideous kike dogshit.every supermarket is in league with it too "record profits" announced in the first year of it happening.
>>522619493That's a whole lot of yapping without any proof
Please understand anons, the happy merchant doesn't want to be sad
>>522619493Don’t care. Crash the fucking economy. Rip the bandaid off. We need one dollar cheeseburgers again. If I lose my job, so be it. We can’t keep inflation going. It’s gone too far. I’d rather have a few years of recession. Also, FUCK THE JEWS that caused all of this.

>>522620987The problem is wages haven't kept pace with the economy. The gap as widened significantly because our overlords got particularly greedy and started to act unashamedly. That gap will never close. Nobody is waiting for prices to come down, because they never will. Everyone is waiting for wages to catch up, which they never will.
jews would make less shekels and that's a shoah. prices should only ever go up, they should never go down.
>>522619493>and here’s why it would be a problem if they didShalom
>>522619493...and that's a good thing!
>>522619493This is the evil heeb that wrote the piece. Every single time. She’s a Harvard STUDENT. So not like she knows anything more than she’s told to know.
>>522619493Tariffs are designed to encourage American factories starting up, by discouraging locals from buying overseas products made by children.The entire point of Globalisation is to keep the 3rd world poor by enslaving them, at the same time as robbing 1st world countries of skilled workers. Why do liberals support this again?
>>522619493>The inflation of recent years also has driven up workers’ wagesAnd theres the lie. It hasn't driven up wages.
>>522619493What bullshit
