Fast food prices rise under President Biden? Do you believe this president or ANY president controls or has any control over Fast Food?

[Bricealan]

From my Economics classes, we learned the only way to reduce the cost of any item is to increase the Supply, and with Gas prices, reopening the Keystone Pipeline project would increase the supply and SLOWLY bring the price at the pump down.

When it comes to bringing the cost of FAST FOOD down, you have to look at what pushed the price up, and that would be increasing the MINIMUM WAGE, which is then passed on to the consumer. I know there was a push to bring up the minimum wage across the board and that would put pressure on the chains to raise their prices. (IF THAT IS IN FACT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PRICE INCREASES)

Along with Fast Food, the news agencies I watch, (Fox) are also claiming under Biden the cost if everything at the grocery store is up! I dont' feed a family... only myself, and with that I don't see the change in pricing of items that families with children see.

This too, also goes back to Supply and Demand, as we all learned in Economics 101, and I don't see or hear of market producers holding down the supply to drive up prices... We know that the Petroleum Industry has ALWAYS done that, even by Closing Refineries (supposedly to do maintenance when we all know is bull shit

Biden and his Administration seems to be hell bent on driving everyone to buy an electric car, and this idiot California Governor Gavin Nuisance' says NO more ICE cars to be sold in CA after 2035, and how insane is that? Many do not want nor can they maybe afford one.

I opted out of Gasoline cars, and drive electric, and have solar and a power wall and no longer buy gas, pay for electricity or Natural Gas, since I heat electrically.BUT MY GOD, NOT EVERYONE CAN DO THAT, AND THAT IS INSANE TO PUSH THAT KIND OF MINDLESS IDEOLOGY ON THE PUBLIC WITH ALL OF THIS SAID, BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS (AND I AM ONE) TRY TO DEMONIZE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ISLE, WITH ALL KINDS OF STUPIDITY AND... YES, EVEN OUTRIGHT LIES ABOUT THE INTENTION OF THE OTHER

It is depressing to me to see both sides blame the other for EVERYTHING wrong, but the Border nightmare, and knuckling under to Iran, and what is going on in society is not only depressing but frightening.

By excessive consumption of FOX, Newsmax and OAN the MAGA muppets have deteriorated to a point where they blame every negative thing happening in their lives to Joe Biden and his policies.

The fact is, running the US-presidency is like steering the largest oil tanker. Many decisions, certainly most economic-related ones take time to finalize, implement and more to make an impact.

[Bricealan]

@DryGermanGuy You do understand that the blame game of finger pointing works both ways, and that Democrats will NEVER stop blaming Donald Trump and the Republicans for just about everything from Climate change to Volcano eruptions... and you certainly know that is a fact?

[DryGermanGuy]

Well, yes and no. The blame game works both ways, of course, but look at what one side blames the other for: The GOP blames the DEM for strawmen and deluded fantasies, like litter boxes for children identifying as cats, the government stealing your gas stoves or bad books that turn students gay.
The DEM blaming the GOP for e. g. rolling back all of Obama's policies to combat climate change is a legitimate reason. The inherent details can and should be discussed of course, but it's about the blanket nullification and denial that happened.

The importance of the November election cannot be overstated!

The president influences the economy. The economy dictates prices.

[Bricealan]

The President has very little to do with influencing the Economy per-se... Have you taken Economics, and looked at the factors that effect prices and what drives demand?
