MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle rips Dollar Tree
for blaming price hikes on inflation:
They don't 'NEED' to do this

Original Article

MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle is taking Dollar Tree to task over its shocking announcement that the company was increasing its famously cheap prices. Dollar Tree confirmed this week it is charging $1.25 for the majority of its products at all of its locations nationwide by the end of April. "For 35 years, Dollar Tree has managed through inflationary periods to maintain the everything-for-one-dollar philosophy that distinguished Dollar Tree and made it one of the most successful retail concepts for three decades," the company said in a press release on Tuesday.

Comments:

Some people have called this mindset detached, but I disagree. It's ignorance. It's a fundamental lack of understanding of how markets work. It's scary how uninformed and idiotic some our "journalists" are.

First of all, like she’s ever set foot in a Dollar Tree in her life or run any kind of business. Second, they’ve got their marching orders from the Politburo: There is no inflation and if there is it’s evil Capitalist greed. These are are the clowns the communists kill first after taking complete power.

I bet she expects a big pay raise for herself every year - although she does not need (or deserve) it.

Has she even thought about opening a business and finding out, first hand, how pricing works? I bet not.

She has clearly not the slightest grasp of business or economics, but she does have a big, ignorant mouth. Paying attention to these fools is just wasted time.

MSNBC is proof of the "Hermit Crab Wit Theorem" : When you put two halfwits together, you don't get a full wit, you get a quarter wit It is multiplicative, not additive. Three halfwits together = 1/8th wit etc. Given all the halfwits that work at MSNBC, the total wittery is approaching 0.0.

Your opinion about what a business needs will begin to matter when you purchase for yourself an ownership share. And for the millionth time, money does not grow on trees.

Will Stephanie Rule be negotiating a salary increase with her employer when her present contract is up? My bet it YES. This pompous ass (apparently the only kind of people MSNBC employs) has already told us that WE had enough money to offset inflation. So someone else seeking to remain solvent is a problem for her, but bet that her salary will rise. The only way to show your disdain for these types of idiotic celebrities is to STOP WATCHING THEM.

While these problems have continued into December – with price increases reported to be widespread across the U.S. economy – empty shelves aren't the only issue for Americans. Pharmacies are reportedly running out of important prescription medications, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) shows there are about 111 drugs on backorder – including heart medications, antibiotics and cancer drugs.

In actuality, the picture is from a Goa Lawah Temple in Bali, Indonesia, which is a Hindu temple. The swastika is, in fact, an ancient symbol.

In a Hindu temple, the swastika is a revered symbol “conducive to well-being.” In Germany of the early 20th century, it was a symbol of racial purity for the Nazis indicating a German’s blood affinity to the ancient Aryan culture

The judge at Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial has dismissed a count of possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18. The charge is only a misdemeanor, but it had appeared to be among the likeliest to net a conviction for prosecutors. There’s no dispute that Rittenhouse was 17 when he carried an AR-style semi-automatic rifle on the streets of Kenosha in August 2020 and used it to kill two men and wound a third. But the defense argued that Wisconsin’s statute had an exception that could be read to clear Rittenhouse. That exception involves whether or not a rifle or shotgun is short-barreled.  CORRECTIONS*

Surprisingly, there is real hope.
