Hey @Cameron143
Ok, I'll go with your reasoning and just say it's happened before and it'll happen again.
Yes, but supply inflation is generally reversible. Just as we've seen with goods and commodities since the end of the pandemic. Prices shot up and then settled. There is more than one reason for inflationary periods. It isn't always some monetary policy.
No, price increases caused by wage increases don't generally go down. That's why you're not paying 32¢ for a loaf of bread today. Inflation usually only goes down when it is supply imbalance. That sort of inflation can be brought down because supply issues generally get resolved. But wage inflation never goes down unless the worker is willing to take a pay cut back to his old wages.
Yes, that's right. What is the percentage of increase in gasoline costs from 1970, of 36¢ to 2014's cost at $3.40? Sure, I understand how percentages work. I'm reasonably smart at mathematics. What was the price of bread's percentage increase from 1950 of 14¢ to 2010's price at $1.63? What, you believe that some increase in prices is some new thing that's never happened before and you're scaring yourself with some percentage that's been repeated over and over and over again over the last 80 years.
BTW the average price of ground beef in 2020 was $4.12. The average price today is $5.71. That's a $1.60 increase over 4 years. Now it's slowing down and will likely hang around the $5.60 to 5.99 price for a bit. We'll see. That's usually how wage inflation works. Of course, the national average may not be true for your area, but the percentages should stay roughly the same.
God bless, friend. And vote wisely.

That's true. As I have pointed out in the above example when it is wage inflation. Or any inflation caused by a production cost increase that isn't likely to go back down. Remember how expensive lumber was 3 years ago. I was paying $10 for a 2x4 stud. Today it's back down to a reasonable $4/stud. That was supply inflation caused by the pandemic shutdown. When that issue was resolved and supply came back in line with demand, the prices dropped. That kind of inflation can reverse. But wage or production cost inflation never, or very, very rarely drops. Because the underlying cost increase isn't going to go back to where it was and so the price of the finished product isn't going to go back to where it was.
Sure I do. Hamas isn't much different than any of the other dozen or so Arab/muslim nation terrorist groups. Their goal is to wipe the U.S. and Israel off the face of the earth. Absolutely they are a terrorist organization. Do I win some prize for that answer?
And are you not seeing some of the laws and penalties they are bringing on their books involving women's education and opportunities in their society?

More babble. Inflation is what drives labor costs which in turn increases prices. It's called a wage-price spiral. And you like to talk around the point. You voted for those who caused the inflation knowing their actions would cause inflation. They purposely brought hardship on vast numbers of Americans, and continue to do so. You are quick to point out failures of the right, yet excuse those you vote for. And since the same people have pledged to let tax cuts expire and promise new taxes and more deficit spending, there will be more hardship. And you are voting for it.
In watching a stream of short clips, I caught a short clip that observed the characteristic of 'naivety' in the leftist mentality and realized that is what the more 'brilliant' ones are taking such advantage of. Much like Biden's "you're not black unless" campaign, it's a "you're not virtuous if" campaign.
Skimming through the threads (specifically the GAP one), I was compelled to consider the war in heaven, in regard to who actually 'waged' it. And I thought, what would happen, if the SEDENA decided to send a ragtag troop of Mexican soldiers into, say San Antonio, to pillage it? Would that be an act of war? or 'waging' war? Or does it necessarily have to be "declared."? I mean, is it merely a 'protest' if it weren't declared?

On this we certainly agree.
You are either ignorant on this issue, or are knowingly lying.
I flat out don't believe you.
You show up here a couple of weeks ago, just as the election is heating up, posting almost exclusively in political threads, bashing President Trump, and extolling communist Kommiela.

Wow! You conspiracy minded folks are laughable at your assumptions from which you make your worldview. You honestly believe in your heart that you know I'm some kind of political plant or something. It's really sad that some people think like that in their minds. You don't believe my testimony as to who I am because you know it's some kind of political conspiracy that I'm posting on these boards now. Wow!
Man, God bless you, but try using your other brain cause the one you're using just isn't working right. LOL!

Hi @PennEd
Except that isn't what I wrote. You have doctored my quote. When I wrote it, there was a period between 'liar' and 'VP Harris'. You have taken out the period to meet your agenda. And yeah, that's exactly why I don't trust people who are like you and vote like you. You misrepresent others and what they say and then make an entire scenario made up from your made up scenario. I didn't write what you're claiming that I wrote.
It's sad, that a believer feels that they have to willfully misrepresent another person's words in order to justify their anger and anxiety in all of this. I mean, the period is there in the original statement and so you had to willfully delete the period in your copy of my words.
Look, God bless you. And if you feel it necessary to lie to support your position, then that's what you'll do. But I will defend my words when wrongfully used.
So now you have proven yourself to be a liar and a man who can't even consider that there are other real human beings that don't agree with you. Nope, I don't want to be like you and I'm pretty sure that you aren't representing Jesus in what you've just done.

All four gospels only have a few stories common to all. Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey is one of them.
All the people were saying Hosanna, which means "save now" and for most of them that meant save them from the Romans. So the idea that the Bible and the gospels does not talk about politics is absurd. Of course it does. This may come as a shock to many but that donkey Jesus was riding on was not a born again, sanctified and redeemed human being. It was a donkey. A word that can refer to a foolish human being.
There are three groups of people in this picture. First of course are those telling us to not cheer the Lord's entrance, those are the religious leaders that are under the Lord's judgment. He already told them that their decision and proclamation that He was healing people "by Beelezebub" was an unforgiveable sin and they would be destroyed in forty years (the sign of Jonah). The second group of course were the followers of Jesus and Jesus, but this included Judas. So even in this relatively small group you do have at least one false prophet. The third group was the cheering crowd who in the very same week will be shouting "crucify Him".
So remember that and make sure you are part of the right group embracing the Lord's salvation and not some political fairy tale or the nasty words of the religious leaders.

They do occur and are most often elective.
This is a common line that democrats parrot but is untrue.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermit_Gosnell
One among many.
But the truth is that 10,000 babies’ lives are lost every year to late-term abortions, the majority of which take place for elective reasons. https://thehill.com/opinion/healthc...abortions-are-real-and-they-happen-every-day/
Christians need to vote Biblically. That is what I said that is the point. End of story.
They have for 3.5 years. Don't pee on us and say it's raining. Dems think everyone is as easily deluded as their followers are. smh
Whew, good thing he put the hammer down! Just in time or thousands of illegals would have, hey wait and minute....
Everyone is struggling!! Everyone is paying more!! Local pantries to help people can't keep up!
Just stop it. Stop with the Dem propaganda. Obama added more people on the dole than ever. No we don't want more people needing handouts and cradle to grave help. Trump got them J O B S!! Right and they were grateful for it. Most people want the dignity of work not living off the gov't. If it was up to Dems they'd have us all on the dole, living in affordable housing shacks. smh
One is closer to Biblical principles. That is simple fact.
Hahahahahah!!! Look around!! We had peace when Trump was in office. No, you can't argue that. rofl!!!
Hahahahahah!!! Do you know where the Obama's live??? Bro, did you see how fast they tossed the illegals that got on the same island the Obama's and Oprah and the elite were on??? They left so fast they didn't know they had been there!!! smh You're hilarious!
Now you're just being ridiculous. smh No one gives more to charity, no one has more soup kitchens, more food and clothes drives. I'm in the south, the Bible belt and churches are always doing drives. Coats for kids for the winter. People give more to charity when asked to give than forced to give. Floods and tornadoes, common to the south and we are ALWAYS first on scene, churches open to donate. Yeah, that one is just a flat out lie.
You can be determined you're right all you want. Voting Bibilically is what a Christian does. If you can vote for a party that wanted God's name stricken, that literally celebrates abortion, murder of the innocents, that champions man hating feminists while also pushing homosexuality and transgenders, and children changing their sex and bodies for life, tearing apart their bodies, you're not a Christian. If you can turn a blind eye to parents being called terrorists because they don't boys in girls bathrooms and showers or having drag queen story hour where they shake their penis in childrens faces, or books on how to arouse your gay lover. If you can turn a blind eye to that, you are not a Christian. If you can watch children here go without food and proper clothes but have no issue with an open border... there is simply no way you can vote Biblically and be a Dem. They have become too radical, too against Christianity, against God. That's just fact.
