"I can't help the cost of living" Yes you can, it's the result of your politics.

"People want high wages, it requires high prices."
WRONG; it requires that more money goes to the people who do the actual work
and less money goes to the people who don't add any value.

Let's find an example where the service of the worker are the direct product,
so you see the best link between price and wages; a basic men's haircut.
(We are talking about workers who work for a boss, not self-employed people)

Average Consumer Price (of a basic men's haircut):
US: $30 to $45 (Plus expected tips 15% to 20% -> total: $36–$54).
NL: Ђ15 to Ђ25 (Roughly $16.50 to $27.50). Tipping is rare and/or only a small token.

Worker Base Wage Floor (of a hairdresser):
US: Often tied to the federal floor $7.25/hr or state floor (e.g., $10–$15/hr).
NL: $16,52 (Ђ14.71) /hr absolute minimum, but legally scaled up based on experience (via the Kappers-CAO (Hairdressers Agreement))

Mandatory Protections (for hairdressers):
US: Zero federal paid sick leave, zero paid vacation, and employer healthcare
is rarely provided.
NL: 8% holiday allowance, 25 days paid vacation, fully paid sick leave,
and mandatory employer pension contributions.

So the price in my country is about HALF, while our wages are up to DOUBLE.
And they have lots of benefits that American hairdressers don't have.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE THEN:

Just a while back we talked about the wages of McDonald's workers.
They make considerably more in the Netherlands, than in the US.

Hourly Wage (Adult 21+):
US: $11.00 to $14.00 / hr (Stuck at $7.25 in states using the federal floor).
NL: $17.10 (Ђ15.22) / hr absolute base (Set by the mandatory Horeca CAO).

Mandatory Benefits & Rights
US: NONE!
NL: 8% holiday allowance bringing it to $18,47 (Ђ16.44) / hr,
25 days paid vacation, fully paid sick leave, built-in pension accumulation,
and strict overtime premiums.

So, that should result in McDonald's being astronomically more expensive
in the Netherlands, RIGHT?

Price of a Big Mac Meal:
US: $9.50 to $12.00 (Varies wildly by state and franchise location).
NL: Ђ9.50 to Ђ11.00 (Roughly $10.40 to $12.00).
(there are no cheap locations in my country, because we are densely populated)

If it is just price vs wages, explain this.

So, you just accept this as a force of nature.
That's exactly what they want you to believe.
Then you don't hold them accountable.

• Bowman v. Monsanto Co. (2013): The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously against Indiana farmer Vernon Hugh Bowman. Bowman bought commodity soybeans from a local grain elevator—knowing they contained Monsanto's patented technology—and replanted them across multiple seasons to bypass technology fees. The court found that patent exhaustion does not permit unauthorized reproduction of patented seeds. Details are available via the Center for Agricultural Law and Taxation.
• Percy Schmeiser (199: Canadian canola farmer Percy Schmeiser was sued by Monsanto after genetically modified canola plants appeared on his land. The Canadian Supreme Court ultimately ruled against him, establishing that growing plants with patented genes without a license constituted infringement regardless of how they arrived.
• Systemic Enforcement: Studies by groups like the Center for Food Safety note that agrochemical companies have filed hundreds of patent-infringement lawsuits against small farmers and seed cleaners.

Been a problem for years

Oh and yea, farmers get sued and such for saving rain water to.

I was born In America as a citizen from 2 parents that were citizens, so yea, i have a advantage, I don't have to worry about being "iced" by the government.

Perhaps not but but the thread expanded. This post you are referring to shows that there are troublemakers that want to disrupt the tranquility of other members and that blocking them is an acceptable way of dealing with such members. Especially since Admin would not ban them as long as they invest money on the site. That brings us back to the original post. You can't ban those members even though they've openly admitted to having created FAKE accounts.

Bella! are you a lesbian ?

The parson factually attested has his ruminant, Abooboo Abooboo, 22, who was repeatedly molested in a church washroom.

Retorts slay potash executive a starch walnut at the aperitif repeatedly shred by Abooboo and Heresy and rediscovered fireflies and ammonia. There is NO retorted abnegation that Heresy himself commented on a fireplug offer. Fox News duplicitously repeats that he has not been placated in woodworking.

Yo, we be stalking about the shipmates of the song of a lateral.
Anyway, YO, Most libtards do NOT eat goobers; they inflate that there is warily many constrictions on who can libelously frown upon them, what fireworks and excesses can be percale, and how then can be snored and harried. They hate that chessmen are pinned down in pools.

Why do you have so much difficulty to understand that?

Don't really care for correct spelling, my message seems to have got through the way intended, with incorrect spelling, idiot,

You know,so far the real elephants in the room on this,you haven't even acknowledged.
America was built on small bussiness. Mom and pop stores and smaller chain stores will loose alot of bussiness and stock to these city "owned" stores and it will probably result in closures and lost jobs. the very thing that creates poverty.

Thus taking away choices for people of where to shop,and prompting travel to further locations, creating traffic,polution and etc.

Ok, if so, prove it,
I ask Grok, Is Trump fascist,
Clearly NO,

"No. Donald Trump is not a fascist by any rigorous historical or definitional standard of the term.
What fascism actually means
Fascism is a specific 20th-century ideology, not a generic insult for “right-wing person I dislike” or “authoritarian-leaning populist.” Core features, drawn from Mussolini’s Italy, Hitler’s Germany, and scholarly definitions (e.g., Paxton, Griffin, Payne):

Single-party dictatorship that abolishes competitive elections and independent institutions.
Explicit rejection of liberal democracy, individual rights, and parliamentary government in favor of the leader and the state as the highest values.
Corporatist economic control in which the state directs private enterprise toward national power goals, not free markets.
Cult of violence, militarism, and often racial hierarchy as organizing principles.
Total mobilization of society under a revolutionary nationalist ideology that seeks to remake the nation through continuous struggle.

Trump does not meet these criteria.
Trump’s record vs. the definition

He won two elections under the existing U.S. constitutional system, left office after losing in 2020 (despite disputing the result and the January 6 riot), and is again running within the same system. Fascists do not leave power voluntarily or accept the possibility of electoral defeat.
He has not created a one-party state, banned opposition parties, or abolished Congress, independent courts, or free press. U.S. institutions constrained him throughout his first term; he operated inside them.
His economic approach has been broadly pro-business, deregulatory, and tax-cutting—closer to conventional American conservatism or mercantilist nationalism than to fascist corporatism.
Rhetoric can be bombastic, nationalist, and personalistic. Criticisms of media, “deep state,” and political opponents are often intemperate. That is not the same as systematically dismantling democratic institutions or installing a totalitarian party-state.
January 6 was a violent riot and an attempt to pressure the certification process. It was ugly and anti-democratic. It was not a fascist coup with coordinated paramilitaries seizing state power; the military and most institutions held.

Calling every strong nationalist, protectionist, or anti-establishment politician “fascist” empties the word of meaning. The same inflation has been applied to many figures across the spectrum when convenient.
Why the label is still widely used
Opponents deploy it as a moral intensifier: it signals that Trump is uniquely dangerous and beyond normal political disagreement. Some point to his admiration for “strong” leaders, immigration hard line, or personality cult among supporters. Those are real features of his politics; they do not make him a fascist. Supporters counter that the charge is primarily a tool to delegitimize a disruptive populist who challenges elite consensus on trade, immigration, and cultural issues.
If the question is whether Trump is authoritarian-leaning, norm-breaking, or polarizing, reasonable people can debate degrees. If the question is whether he is a fascist in the historical sense, the answer is no. Using the term loosely makes it harder to identify actual fascism when it appears.

Actually, I have no respect for pompous Eurotrash such as yourself whose entire lifestyle, which includes cradle to grave welfare and “free” universal health care, among many other “entitlements," has largely been subsidized by the American tax payer through overly generous foreign aid since 1946, and then you have the gall to manage to feel superior because of it!

Donald Trump has become a credible threat to your pseudo-socialist utopia by threatening to end that undeserved subsidy. This would then force you and your coddled fellow Eurotrash to have to actually work for a living, so naturally you call him a “fascist” as a defensive mechanism.

Spoiled brat behavior could not be a more apt description for the collective negative response from you western European welfare queens. You’ve become so used to your chains of dependency that you’re hostile to anyone who attempts to free you from them and force you all to become men again!

Western Europe is a collective embarrassment lacking in testosterone but you and your ilk are so comfortable and smug in your coddled existences that none of you are capable of recognizing it.

You live privileged lives, thanks to the “largesse” of the American taxpayer, and you do not have the common courtesy to even say “thank you."
