    They were stupid. People never respond well to large increases. If this has built up over the last two years of Bidenflation, they should have had two different price increases of 1/2 the amount it is now. You don't wallop people with a 14% price
    increase with a recession looming. Downside, they can't reduce "package size" instead like many food manufacturers, to kind of "hide" inflation.

    What's Bidenflation and how does it work. ?

    they should have had two different price increases of 1/2 the amount it is now. You don't wallop people with a 14% price increase with a recession looming. Yes I;d agree with that.

    Downside, they can't reduce "package size" instead like many food manufacturers, to kind of "hide" inflation.

    What they could do is double the price then in the next couple of weeks have a 40% or so sale off everything that they doubled in price.

    Do you have any plans to buy a Sony camera?

    What's Bidenflation and how does it work. ?

    Inflation created when the government poured $3 trillion into the hands of people during covid, at least 1/2 of who didn't even need it. Stuck inside and bored, demand for many things skyrocketed. Once the pandemic wore out its interest level, slackers
    decided they wouldn't go back to work from their paid holiday and paychecks jumped, further adding to inflation. What took 8 years to be rid of (inflation induced by Vietnam, OPEC) and stayed away for 35 years was brought back by Biden in less than 2
    years.

    I thought Trump was president during that period when nearly 1 million americans died, which was more than Vietnam & WWII.

    Once the pandemic wore out its interest level, slackers decided they wouldn't go back to work from their paid holiday and paychecks jumped, further adding to inflation. What took 8 years to be rid of (inflation induced by Vietnam, OPEC) and stayed away

    But you said sony has raised their price by 14%. I didn;t know that Biden controlled what the japanese company Sony charged for their camera.
    I assumed that if sony has raised it's prices then the price in the UK will go up too and every other country in the word including the home japanese market.
    So you're saying that Biden controls all prices through out the world ?
    I know that some of the least inteligent people in the world happen to be Americans who identify themselves to the reast of us by wearing MAGA hats and T-shirts.

    Doubt it I''d say MAGA, Antifa and BML are quite different can't imagine have all 3 T-shirts.
    Oh and what of the proud boys I saw them marching with their american flags and they were all wearing masks.
    Starge that considering dueing covid some claimed they couldn't breathe.

    Although I haven't really heard many Antifa supporters interviewed, and the proud boys aren't proud enough to come out
    and prefer to hide behind their masks.


    Or are those people really

    I think it varies, but I am finding it interesting that the BLM is so low key after the
    Tyre Nichols incident, I"m guess because it's OK for black police officers to kill a black man
    and only racist if it's white police officers.

    It's being blamed on "racism" and "white supremacy" anyway, or simply

    I haven't heard of that one. I'm thinking more along the lines of
    Critical Race Theory and LGTV propaganda being designed to undermine
    Western civilisation as a form of Cultural Marxism.
