  1. There’s a lot to unpack here but the simplest version is that that there is a huge difference between an inflationary spike caused by a demand flood+supply shock vs a secular cost increase that doesn’t change the demand signal. In the first situation (2022) a market leader will try float slightly behind the pack- stay a price leader but increase prices at the same rate as everyone else because there’s more buying power coming at you. In the second situation (2025) they deploy dry powder to consolidate and take share from less well capitalized or efficient competitors. Of course an announcement like this pleases Trump and HD’s customers alike. But it’s also the right thing to do for the business if they can afford to do it without cutting into muscle.
  2. As I’ve said repeatedly on this board- dominant players consolidate market share by leaving prices flat or even lowering them curing periods of secular cost increases if they are able. Gross Margin is a war chest, not a strategic objective.

  6. What if I have an old car to shoot at
  7. I should already have one of those, and the only reason* why I’ve held off is the question of .357 vs 45-70. *of course, the total lack of utility could be considered a reason since I don’t own land or hunt, but I that never stopped me before.

  15. Because it’s still dominant, @achooloco
  16. @realgreggym is to politics what @Helobious is to baseball
  17. Are you saying Twitter isn’t relevant? Oh my god. Twitter isn’t just still relevant, it’s still dominant.
  18. It’s in decline and it will die eventually. When the Next Big Thing appears, it will fall pretty fast, we just aren’t there yet.
  19. My guy you are skipping ahead to the park where Twitter has already shrunk. We’re still at the point where Twitter is dominant, and it would be marketing malpractice for democrats to ignore it in favor of encouraging the exodus to <insert whatever lefty-approved space> before only hardcore maga is left behind. Democrats (in their capacity as political actors) getting off Twitter in 2025 would be like a Toyota getting off MySpace in 2008. It’s just not time yet.
  20. Armybrat tanned Washington’s hide for cutting down the cherry tree.
