    You guys must be checkd out from normal

    First right wingers and Leftists like

    How y'all can cling so hard to a
    politician who is at minimum doing the

    beyond me.

    But I suppose principle can fly out the

    dragged into the death cult spiral with
    y'all and company.

    Biden's last day in office inflation was at 2.7, it was as high as 9%. Trump currently at 2.4... Less than Biden... WAY less than Biden's 9%... So prices may have rose in the past week or 2... BUT in no way are prices worse than Jo Biden's inflation.

    The leftists are programmed to believe that anyone who's not drinking their kool aid is watching Fox News.

    But this doesn't mean that they're watching and detecting BS from Fox News, it just means that they're complying with brainwashing instructions from their own news channels.

    But Fox News could be the key to waking them up though; maybe if they watch it and see some of the BS (because they expect BS from Fox News) then they
    can go back to their own channel and start detecting it there also.

    It's safe to eat eggs from chickens that have the flu. It's also safe to eat white eggs, or eggs from chickens that eat insects and worms.

    If you actually care about "humane conditions" then you should focus on the bio labs where bird flu strains are being intentionally mutated for "science" and you should also be outraged by Biden's unprecedented chicken holocaust.

    I'm sorry for the way I said that. I have been on foodstamps before too. But my frustration is because it seems like you're selectively remembering the egg prices during Joe's chicken crisis. The news is usually lying, but they were even telling people about it, and I saw it in my grocery stores here in upstate NY. I drove accross town to get eggs for $10 (with rewards card at Weis) because Wegmans was charging $14. I thought that was happening everywhere in the country, but was it not?

    You might be right about that, but Biden's egg prices were unprecedented. Somehow the price of eggs never skyrocketed under Trump's administration. Not in his first term, not in his second.

    Democrats are the ones who gave me high prices and Trump's presence in the white house coincides with the lowering of many of them.

    I'm sorry for the way I said that. I
    have been on foodstamps before too.
    my frustration is because it seems l
    you're selectively remembering the e
    prices during Joe's chicken crisis.
    news is usually lying, but they were
    even telling people about it, and I
    it in my grocery stores here in upst
    NY. I drove accross town to get eggs
    for $10 (with rewards card at Weis)
    because Wegmans was charging $14. I
    thought that was happening everywher
    in the country, but was it not?


    No, it was not. Here in Florida they
    have only gone up, but they have also
    never been $14 for a dozen, that's
    crazy.

    But people forget not all states have
    the same markets; economically each
    state is still basically its own
    nation. I mean, Cali has like $9
    gas in some places, whereas it's
    only 3.96 right now where I live.

    We have 50 states and 300+ million
    people, why would it be exactly the
    same for everyone? And to that point,
    why should some other American locale
    have to live how some christian
    evangelical from fucktown, Alabama
    says they should? Fuck them.

    Yea, Biden's chicken massacre shouldn't affect people who live in red states. I'm glad it didn't.

    I think you should reexamine Trump's
    relationship with major AI and Social
    Media companies then. The 1984
    surveillance state is being pushed
    by people in both parties, and we
    need to get our heads out of our
    asses and fight it. I can promise
    you that no-one with sense on the
    left OR the right wants this.

    Don't confuse your politicians with
    Average Joe Schmoe down the street.

    Barry: $147 a barrel
    Joe Biden: $139 per barrel
    Trump: Briefly topped $119 per barrel

    I feel compelled to remind you that commodity prices are more an effect
    of market forces and a collusive seller's market rather than
    administrative action.

    Barack Obama was coming out of the recession of 2008, which on rebound
    resulted in supply constraints and greater demand. Less supply, more
    demand equals higher prices.

    Joe Biden was president during the initial recovery from Covid, where
    demand for gasoline jumped from 93 million barrels a day to 99 million. Lockdowns = no cars = lower demand. Easing restrictions, more driving,
    more demand, higher price.

    Russia invaded Ukraine, driving sanctions and market disruptions.

    We'll see how gas prices look tomorrow - I'm already seeing $5.99/gallon
    at freeway gas stations.

    You might be right about that, but Biden's egg prices were
    unprecedented. Somehow the price of eggs never skyrocketed under
    Trump's administration. Not in his first term, not in his second.

    Bird flu. Supply and demand.

    Democrats are the ones who gave me high prices and Trump's presence in
    the white house coincides with the lowering of many of them.

    Correlation is not causation.
