Is this why prices are high?


Could it be that prices are high because the economy is doing well? Think about expensive cities and countries. They are expensive because their economies are strong. Think about poor cities and third world countries. They are cheap because their economies are weak. Prices are directly proportional to the strength of the economy. Prices are high in strong economies, and prices are low in weak economies. Maybe that is what is going on here. The post-COVID U.S. economy is super strong, and as a result prices are high. What do you think?

The game of politics is tough, but fun and entertaining. Politics entails manipulating the perception of reality. In politics, perception becomes reality. 

Opponents of the current administration claim that the current economy is bad because prices are high. What would those same folks say if they were in charge? They would highlight what is going well, and blame everything else on their opponents. All political parties in the world do the same thing. Take credit for whatever is good. Blame others for whatever is bad. The far right blames immigrants. The far left blames capitalists.

MAGA King Spin

Imagine if Trump was still president. He would say that high prices are a sign of the strength of the U.S. economy. After all, he grew up and became a developer in one of the most expensive cities in our country and the whole world. New York City has a strong economy and prices are super high. 

Trump would point out that the U.S. dollar is at a 20-year record high signaling how the world sees mighty strength in the U.S. economy. He would stress that home prices are at a record high with homeowners having record high equity levels. He would stress that the level of personal debt is at the lowest in decades. He would state or imply that people who cannot afford gas or basic necessities are just losers. Maybe they should enroll in Trump University to learn the art of a deal.  

If his supporters were unhappy, he would blame all problems on democrats, liberal policies, and immigrants. He would take the United States out of NATO to help Putin make Russia great again. He would request more and more power under the promise of saving America and making it great again.

Great Replacement

Great Replacement vs Great Awakening The Great Replacement is the observation that a segment of the American political left wants to control the Nation politically by replacing American born white voters with nonwhite immigrants. The Great Awakening is the counter observation that a segment of the American political right wants to control the Nation by instigating white rage and white supremacy. Both observations hold true in the eyes of their respective beholders. This is still the classic North vs South conflict in America. There is a lot of money to be made keeping our Nation together and avoiding a second civil war.   TakeSlap serves spicy food for thought. We toss words together to slap you into innovative thinking.

MAGA People of Color

MAGA is a movement of people of color. Beige color, that is. Human skin comes in three color shades: beige, brown, and black. Any color is okay. What is not okay is thinking that one color is better than another. What makes MAGA people suffer is that liberals are ending the color coded society that MAGA folks had learned was "great".  Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com People of Color  People of color are the base of the MAGA movement. Their color is beige. Human skin comes in three main colors or shades: beige, brown, and black. Melanin, a natural "ink" or pigment made by the body is responsible for skin color.  Your melanin color varies depending on whether your ancestors stayed in tropical weather, or migrated to nordic weather. Northern latitudes have less ultraviolet (UV) radiation plus are cold requiring people to cover their skin. The combination of less UV radiation plus covered skin, made melanin beige.  You can see melanin as natural form ...

A 76 year old beige man

Neither Hunter Biden nor Steve Bannon can save Trump this time. Hunter is reportedly an atheist. Bannon is supposedly a christian who keeps a fake portrait of a bleached skin Jesus in his office. The J6 Hearings are destroying Trump and he seems doomed. Luckily for Trump he is a man of color (color beige) and will most likely avoid criminal prosecution. Luckily for all of us, Trump's political career is almost over. Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com Trump's Epic Collapse Millions of Americans have been waiting for Trump's collapse. Trump is a 76 year old old man with a poor diet, and a super stressful lifestyle. That is a lethal combination for any heart. Men of beige color with similar lifestyle factors are prone to deadly heart attacks. With every heartbeat, the blonde dyed hair and fake orange makeup gets closer to his final day on Earth.  No one is eternal; not even the MAGA king. That is the most fundamental flaw of kings and dictators. Even assuming ...
