The message we are getting from (checks notes) a Julius Domingus Vance is this: "The thing that I'd ask for the American people is a little bit of patience."
The VP (Vice Piggy) was suggesting is that we, as a country, have been less than patient with the Second Trumpreich. Somehow their assurances that this cabal would "immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One" has not led to any sort of savings for the average consumer. As a matter of fact, Jeff "I Sent My Wife To Space And All I Got Was This T-Shirt" Bezos said recently, “If you're an individual considering purchasing a big-screen TV, you might want to wait, hold onto your money, and see what transpires. The same is true with a new automobile, refrigerator, or whatever else. Just remove some risk from the equation.”
Well kids, I checked with some of the folks to whom I send monthly checks and that "patience" thing doesn't really fly with them. As for Mister Bezos, It seems as though the endearing story about how he was still driving a 1996 Honda to the office might be a little stale. This was a tale best told when his estimated worth was "around ten billion dollars." The estimate of the stored wealth of that Amazon Guy is now more than two hundred billion dollars.
Be patient? With a guy who owns a super yacht called the Koru, with its "support vessel" Abeona?
When do you suppose these idjits last visited their local Safeway? Did they happen to notice the price for a loaf of bread hovers around seven dollars, and that most of us are in fact "waiting patiently" before we buy our next major appliance?
There was some wild talk a couple weeks ago about sending American consumers some sort of tariff rebate check. Everyone was supposed to get "about two thousand dollars." That check would cover about twenty-two percent of the expenses for a family of four living here in Oakland.
Maybe that's not the solution you were hoping for?
Just be patient.
