Cost is a product of the prices of the inputs of the product.
Suggesting cost is independent of price or the value of the currency is silly.

You bet they do. The "its" in your statement is the cost.
The the total cost of a product is the cost of the inputs of the product. Price has nothing to do with it. The price of the inputs is largely irrelevant.

You have no idea what cost is.
Anyone who says the price of the inputs is irrelevant doesn't have any idea what they're talking about.
You think cost is just an emotional decision a manufacturer makes?

Do you always have to argue? Total cost is the sum of the costs. the price of the inputs isn't the cost of the inputs.
Input A is priced at $2 and is shipped at a cost of $10
Input B is priced at $7 and is shipped at a cost of $2
Which input has the higher price? Which input has the higher cost?
Is the cost of the product $9 (the sum of the price of the inputs)
Is the cost of the product $21 (the sum of the costs)

Have you noticed that ever since the SCOTUS ruling, 100% of the discussion on both the right and left has been on what Trump may or may not do with criminal immunity in the future.
Why is there no discussion on what Biden will do with criminal immunity today?
It is because both the right and left know Biden is not a criminal like Trump..

The sum of the prices of the inputs of a product is literally the cost of the product.
If you're a manufacturer making a product which is completed by combining Inputs A and B the cost to make one unit is $21.
Why does this confuse you so much?

You have absolutely no idea what the right is actually talking about.

Of course it doesn't, but there becomes a DAY or a moment in time when it is clear there are issues, and that was NOT there prior to and including the State of the Union address. He crossed a line sometime between then and now. Someone with dementia can NOT perform like he did for the State of the Union, and even where he is now, it is clearly in the early stages. He should not run for another term.

I have said that Biden wins unless he is dead or infirmed. Biden is clearly now infirmed (Reality Czech says that's not true, so clearly not me). Now, that doesn't mean Biden WON'T win, but it isn't a guarantee anymore.
Biden in a coma is better than Trump. I would vote for a bag of hammers over Trump, and all sane people feel the same way.
Biden is not infirmed. He has one bad night in 3.5 years. Have you seen him since the debate? He’s knocked it out of the park every time.
Dude, I would like to be able to agree with you. I WANT Biden to be well enough to be President again for 4 years, but the debate showed that he is not. A President has to be able to respond to questions, not just give a speech. It wasn't just a bad night. He did so poorly that he lost to a guy who lied about everything he said...and ONLY because Biden was not all there.
The above said, I will vote for Biden over Trump if he is still the nominee. Those around him will do the right thing if necessary in a second term, and our democracy isn't at risk with a Democrat in the White House (though the Supreme Court sure is doing its best to attack our democracy).
I am a facts-based guy, and I don't lie or sugar coat anything. Biden should step aside. He's not well enough to be President again for 4 years.

Would Maxine Waters be a good replacement for Biden?

No.
While I think Kamala Harris would do a great job as President, I believe she would be the hardest to vote in today of realistic candidates.
If difficulty getting voted in weren't an issue, I would prefer these people in order of preference to replace Biden ahead of Harris:
Amy Klobuchar
Pete Buttigieg
Eric Swalwell
Gavin Newsom

That's not going to happen, but my first choice would be Hillary Clinton.
I've never understood why so many people hate her. She's more competent and capable than 100 (Trump + Biden).22 -

Being an awful human being didn't prevent Trump from becoming President. He mocked a reporter with disability, his speeches are lewd, crass, etc.
And who are her husband's victims? I don't understand what you are referring to.10 -

That’s idiotic. You base this on 90 minutes. He has been energetic and coherent before the debate and after the debate. He was sick with a cold during the debate and you think he is infirmed. Stay off the Faux News. People he works with say nothing has changed in 3.5 years. Foreign leaders say they can’t keep up with him physically or mentally.
