Propaganda is the stock and trade of you Communists. Food prices continue to fall and you continue to lie.
Fuel costs affect confidence in polls. It doesn't change the fact that you outright lied about food prices. What I find most interesting is that housing prices are declining. Obviously the DNC propaganda corps will never report it.
House prices will plummet in 300 US housing markets, study finds
A bombshell new forecast from Zillow finds more than one in three American housing markets heading into decline over the next year.

I've been telling you all for a long time that Owl and @Phantasmal are the same person. She isn't going to ban herself - or even her sock.

Home prices are declining - despite the lies you tell. The only major CPI indicator on the rise is fuel - which itself has stabilized in the last couple of weeks.
You are a demagogue - you are here to try and create fear and unrest in hopes that your party can seize political power. You will spew anything to achieve that goal.
That simply is not true. And it is not what we want to be happening. We want steady, slowly rising prices(2% a year). trump does not do steady.
United States Food Inflation
Cost of food in the United States increased 2.70 percent in August of 2026 over the same month in the previous year. This page provides the latest reported value for - United States Food Inflation - plus previous releases, historical high and low, short-term forecast and long-term prediction...

The price of our houses are in decline, but buyers end up spending more because interest rates are going up.
This is not a good thing.

(“The US LEI increased slightly in April, driven mainly by a rebound in stock prices and an increase in building permits, only for two and more units,” said Justyna Zabinska-La Monica, Senior Manager, Business Cycle Indicators, at The Conference Board. “The leading index rose in two of the past three months,)
The Stock Market is all tech, the rich getting richer, irrelevant to average American
Not because they cannot invest. Liberals like you not only want someone to pick winning investments, they want some one else to fund it. Typical democrat with its hand out.
They Americans don’t have the liquidity nor access to the information than the oligarchs have, and that is what maintaining the Market, the reason Trump worries about it more than he does the cost of hamburger
Anyone with even a dollar can invest in the stock market. STFU you ignorant democrat.
Yeah, bit can not afford to risk the tag on the tech stock, that’s oligarchs’ realm
????????????? Be coherent.
Sure, most Americans can not afford the risk and reward on the tech stock, that’s oligarchs’ realm, called opportunity cost
If one cannot afford a dollar to take a chance to get ahead they are surely democrats. If is not a handout no go.
I give him credit for trying. Like anyone retarded.
Poor Anchovies.
Grok:
Anchovies' take recycles a common zero-sum view of markets that doesn't match the data.
But public companies file SEC disclosures, earnings calls are public, and low-cost index funds (e.g., S&P 500 ETFs) require minimal research and beat most active managers long-term.
"Oligarchs' realm" ignores how public markets have democratized capital access compared to pre-IPO private deals.
SpaceX recently went public (Nasdaq: SPCX, ~June 2026) at a massive valuation (~$1.75-2T range), raising billions with strong retail interest.
This opens it to everyday investors via brokerages—not just "oligarchs."
High-risk/high-reward? Absolutely—space is volatile.
But that's capitalism: innovation funding (reusable rockets, Starlink) creates jobs, tech spillovers, and consumer benefits (cheaper launches, global internet). Historical IPOs like this have broadened ownership.
Presidents and policymakers track both.
Stock market strength signals corporate health, retirement security, and investment (which funds growth/jobs).
Cost of living (groceries, housing, energy) is separate but linked via inflation, wages, and policy.
Equating market focus with ignoring "hamburger" prices is a false tradeoff—strong economy historically supports real wages and lower relative costs over time.
Opportunity cost and risk: Valid point for poor individuals that don't gamble rent money on single stocks.
Diversified, long-term investing (dollar-cost averaging into broad indices) has compounded wealth for participants despite volatility.
Non-participants miss that upside.
Tech/AI growth isn't zero-sum; it drives productivity that can lower prices and raise living standards (see computing, smartphones).
Markets aren't "rigged" solely for the rich—they allocate capital to productive uses, with broad (if unequal) participation.
Criticizing concentration is fair; dismissing the system's role in funding innovation and retirements isn't. SpaceX going public is more access, not less.

Stock market isn't "all tech"
- S&P 500 sector weights (as of mid-2026): Information Technology ~32-35%, with the rest spread across Financials (~12-13%), Communication Services (~11%), Consumer Discretionary (~10%), Healthcare (~8-9%), Industrials (~9%), and smaller slices for Consumer Staples, Energy, etc.
- Broader indices and total market include everything from Walmart and banks to energy producers and manufacturers. Tech drives recent gains (AI, etc.), but the market reflects the wider economy.
Average Americans
- 62% of U.S. adults report owning stock (directly or indirectly via retirement accounts, mutual funds, etc.) as of 2025 Gallup data—near historic highs.
- This includes ~71% of middle-income ($50k-$99k) households and even 28% of lower-income (<$50k). Retirement plans (401(k)s, IRAs, pensions) are the main vehicle: ~59% have such accounts, with the vast majority invested in equities.
- Ownership is skewed toward higher earners (top 10% hold most value—~87-93% of stock wealth), but broad participation means millions of retirees, teachers, union workers, and middle-class savers benefit from gains via index funds and target-date funds. Apps like Robinhood, Vanguard, and zero-commission trading have lowered barriers dramatically.
