Decent #Americans need to prepare
start buying 'Long shelf life' #foods.
#Prices will rise even more soon
and continue to rise
rapidly
purchasing power of the dollar will fall
#Trump and his "#administration" have NO plans
to financially support the Country from the damage
created by the #Tariffs and Trump"s disastrous "policies"
To force Fed rate cuts is NOT a solution
will actually make the situation worse.

Only hope is to carry on until
economic collapse, social chaos
force Trump"s removal.

"#Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of #AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket."

PS: Lots to hate here. But suppose the model spreads to other industries. (Yes, this is sci-fi for now. But let your imagination run free.) Imagine that academic #publishers used this model to set #APCs. What would AI tools infer from your institutional affiliation (about available resources), first name (about gender), surname (about ethnicity), submitted manuscript (about guesstimated quality), and past publications (about specialization, reputation, impact)? What odd variables would it factor in, such as the number of Trump-banned words (for political protection) or the number of citations to that journal (for #JIF)? How would it use all this information? Would it lower the #APC for you, to bring you in, or raise it, to price you out?

For airlines or journals, would there be any reason to stick with the model if it didn't raise net revenues?

For clarity, the #inflation measure used here is the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which rose 2.7% from one year ago (all items, all urban consumers, not seasonally adjusted). This makes a 0.3% rise from the 2.4% 12-month rise in May.

All items minus food and energy rose 2.9% in the past 12 months.

Shelter rose a whopping 3.8% in the past 12 months and “was the primary factor in the all items monthly increase.”

President #Trump, you’re right. US #drug prices are a rip-off. But #Australian #healthcare isn’t for sale, and we’ve no intention of paying your exorbitant #prices.

We’ll never give in to threats designed to undermine the #PBS or #Medicare, and we will always fight to ensure our #government and #politicians stand up for universal healthcare for all. So keep your hands off our PBS – try fixing your healthcare system instead!

"List prices for tractors rose 50% to 60% from 2017 to 2023, according to the University of Illinois Extension. The price of new cars and trucks rose 22% over that period, as measured in the Consumer Price Index.

"Keep in mind that a common field tractor can cost around $500,000, 10 times more than the average sales price of a car or light truck. So larger proportional increases are hitting vehicles that already had large price tags."
