For those of us who contributed to Harris-Walz, if would have been nice to see the campaign compile this basic research and plaster the media and airwaves with it. Just too much reliance on the media to highlight the positives.
MSM harped incessantly about high inflation instead of telling the truth it was coming down due to President Biden’s policies but they wanted the orange felon in office! Scumbags
Fucking media - they have completely screwed us over. This is why I haven’t watched news and have cancelled newspaper subscriptions since the election.
No shit, These idiots voting for lower food prices & gas, Too stupid to know the better times they wanted back, We’re a result the Obama administration, Now POS 45 going to try and take credit for the Biden administration, MAGA ignorant AF They’ll believe it’s his economy as he slithers in office
I think the 'so now you tell us' was more referring to the media reporting falling costs while Trump and his minions kept falsely reporting skyrocketing prices rather than the timing of the Thanksgiving costs story.
I don’t think there’s any evidence here that news media avoided reporting accurately on inflation levels before the election. Is that the claim you’re making?
YUP. I'll do ya one better 'cause hubs is SA and brings home a free turkey every year, but I also take advantage of the sale, every year, for turkeys at exactly the price you're quoting. Cheapest I'm seeing ATM is 47c/lb for a frozen.
You that would have made the difference, lol. Go to the grocery store with someone make the median salary at your local supermarket and witness how they are barely hanging on. It ain’t good and excessive government spending caused it. Time for DOGE!
Pass this on, maybe someone in White House will see it .... President Biden should issue pardons for all the military officers and everyone in his administration or risk being a first class dickwad.
Grok has spoken, and I trust that AI more than 95% of Bluesky or MSM.
Didn’t another article from someone say a dinner for 10 would only cost $58? Ya’ll are fucked for believing this shit. Turkey is also showing to be higher on average than this bullshit article.
Wait until these Tariffs take effect…these mind f*cked morons that voted for this mess will still blame Biden for the inevitable price increases. What a S-Show that’s coming our way….
Inflation is back to 2.0% in Canada & the grocery stores are still price gouging. I bet the news would switch to bragging about how low inflation is if the Conservatives were elected, but not when it’s Liberals. The Conservatives party is full of grocery store lobbyists. It should be a bigger story.
Very few essential crops are low yielding right now, and the two big ones are because of international wars and climate change. The CEO of Kroger publicly admitted to price gouging Americans.
People are so worried about the price of eggs, but more people are traveling this year, restaurants are packed, and Christmas shopping already is through the roof. Oh, and don’t forget all the brand new cars.
Unfortunately, Trump is going to claim this as his doing even though he is not yet in office. Would have been much better if they had not even printed this story so that orange man could not use it to tell everyone how great he is.
It’s not more affordable. Because the price went down by a few cents doesn’t mean it’s affordable. More propaganda. The rich have no idea as to what reality is. They hide in their bubbles & play victim while being bullies.
You were not getting a 16 pound turkey for $25. Last time I checked around the supermarkets near me turkeys were retailing for about three dollars a pound. That’s a $48 bird.
The Cowardice is staggering. Although the secret the Magats finally admitted to me was, they never had a problem with prices, they realized they were coming down and were told to push the narrative to help TFG. Sadly, the Dems fell right into the imaginary imaginary trap. They said Butter emails! 🤣
I know right? Funny how the messaging switched immediately after the third. Not even the first, or second news outlet I've seen this exact subject & story either, seems to be around one a week now.
Holy Baby Jesus on a Bogie Board. The MSM just sucks. They manipulate the electorate with inflation stories, blame the Dem loss on bad policy, poor messaging, lack of charisma. Now this!
Employees negotiating higher wages can also be a contributor, as can things like forex rates, international trade agreements, global demand for commodities and other fungibles, and even weather & climate.
It's important we are fair and honest that inflation is a complex topic.
Yeah we follow - I was just piling on. I believe in higher res versions of that same JD Vance photo, you can see in the background many cheaper options for a dozen eggs, too.
He picked the MOST expensive option. The most expensive eggs can cost 2-3x the cheapest ones out there.
I think this specific series of cases were for price fixing that was alleged from 2004 to 2008 but not this year as case was settled in 2023. More recently, certain market chains (Kroger) have been found fixing prices of certain basic foods but not sure eggs were one of them
Right. I believe there have been several cases - not just with eggs - of producers conspiring to inflate prices. And the result is FAR worse than inflation.
My point here is we often think about cartels like OPEC while not recognizing our own domestic cartels...
The price of eggs is rising because of the avian flu pandemic. Millions of chickens have been destroyed trying to contain the virus. Given Drumpf’s record on pandemics, eggs are going to be very expensive.
it's not, though. in the last 2 weeks a dozen eggs have doubled in price. I'm not even bothering with a turkey, we're having chicken thighs. I've spent close to $200 and I'm only feeding 6 people.
Eggs went up because of bird flu. From what I hear, three outbreaks back to back. Price of eggs will come down again just in time for Tangerine Twatwaffle to take credit for them, then they'll bounce right back up when he screws the pooch and wipes out the agricultural work force.
What's the problem? Everybody knows that the first thing trump did after he got elected was go down to the farms, processors, and factories that produce our food and knocked some heads. Biden was too old and weak for that.

They even admitted it.
Boycott Thanksgiving.
Boycott black Friday.
Fascists can eat alone.
I am not thankful.
Corpos can miss their precious Q4, since it mattered more than our right to exist.

Just like he has taken the credit with the stock market
They will give him the credit, you know what I meant

Carrying MAGA and Qanon's water does get the clicks so why tell truths when the goal was Trump all along?
I used to defend them but after this election cycle and the way they treated Biden and Kamala and normalized Trump, I’m walking away.
