Жизнь и налоги при Трампе

[mikeG]

Есть надежда, что налоги станут меньше. Я плачу огромные суммы дважды в год: в январе и в апреле. И эти налоги не дают спокойно дышать.

Если меньше, как в прошлый раз, то спасибо, не надо.

не надо "как в прошлый раз". надо просто оставить, как оно есть

Gold prices set a new high in February: What's fuelling the cost?

The price of gold has set a new all-time high in February of over $2,950 (Rs 2.52 lakh) per 28.34 grammes, outperforming the US markets. Experts suggest this surge comes owing to the fear of inflation stoked by US President Donald Trump’s threats of tariffs, along with increased demand from central banks.

The drivers behind this surge include heightened uncertainty and fear of inflation that has been stoked by US President Donald Trump’s threats of tariffs, together with increased demand from central banks.

Rising egg prices and high demand are prompting consumers to rent or buy chickens, but experts warn the move may not cut costs

Egg consumers search for alternatives

"Sales have gone up dramatically for all the people I know that sell chickens," Ron Goldsmith said.

Goldsmith said sales of feed for chickens at his pet store, Mike's Feed Farm in Riverdale, New Jersey, have more than doubled since October.

Gas Prices Set To Rise in 'Weeks Ahead,' Analyst Warns

While drivers in the United States are enjoying slightly cheaper gas this week, prices are likely to rise again in the spring, analyst Patrick De Haan warned, driven by a seasonal spike in demand.

De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, urged motorists to brace themselves for "the typical March madness" coming their way, which will cause an "abrupt spike" in gas prices in the coming weeks.

Prices at the pump have a strong impact on Americans' personal finances and the way they feel about the country's economy and its political leaders. Rising gas prices under the last President Joe Biden played a role in voters' negative perception of his handling of the nation and fueled their frustration with his administration.

While Donald Trump has promised to lower the cost of living for Americans, factors beyond his control may bring prices higher and stoke up unhappiness among voters.

Denny’s reportedly adds egg surcharge amid rising prices and bird flu shortages

Denny’s, the popular American diner chain, has reportedly joined a growing number of restaurants responding to the nationwide egg shortage by adding a temporary surcharge to its egg-based meals at some locations.

The egg shortage is driven by an ongoing bird flu outbreak that has decimated flocks across the US since the beginning of 2022. Egg supplies have dwindled and prices have soared as a result, forcing many businesses to adapt.

“Our pricing decisions are being made market-by-market, and restaurant-by-restaurant due to the regional impacts of the egg shortage,” Denny’s said in a statement to multiple outlets.

Restaurants Warn of Potential $12 Billion Hit From Trump Tariffs

The US trade group representing restaurants urged President Donald Trump to spare food and drinks from tariffs, estimating the levies could cost the industry more than $12 billion and lead to higher prices for consumers.

In a letter to the president, the National Restaurant Association said companies would have no choice but to raise prices if tariffs came into effect, citing the industry’s already-tight profit margins of 3% to 5% on average. Trump pledged during his campaign to tame inflation.

Americans Are Expecting Higher Prices. That Could Unnerve the Fed.

More Americans are starting to brace for higher prices as President Trump’s policies begin to take effect.

Fresh off the worst inflation shock in decades, Americans are once again bracing for higher prices.

Expectations about future inflation have started to move up, according to metrics closely watched by officials at the Federal Reserve. So far, the data, including a consumer survey from the University of Michigan and market-based measures of investors’ expectations, does not suggest that price pressures are perceived to be on the verge of spiraling out of control.

But the recent jump has been significant enough to warrant attention, stoking yet more uncertainty about an economic outlook already clouded by President Trump’s ever-evolving approach to trade, immigration, taxation and other policy areas. On Tuesday, a survey from the Conference Board showed that consumer confidence fell sharply in February and inflation expectations rose as Americans fretted about the surging price of eggs and the potential impact of tariffs.

Electricity prices are spiking. That’s a problem for Trump.

The president vowed on the campaign trail to cut energy costs in half. They’re now approaching levels not seen since the 1990s.

President Donald Trump’s campaign promise to cut energy costs in half is facing a daunting reality.

Electricity prices are tracking toward heights unseen since the 1990s when factoring in inflation, according to a new report from the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute (AEI).

Skyrocketing demand from power-hungry technology like artificial intelligence is driving the trend, and Americans are feeling the pinch.
