Don't forget Trump sabotaging the agricultural industry, again.

vinosky.bsky.social•15 days ago

CNN did track prices under the failed Biden government.

Unlike X, you can’t just throe shit out there knowing everyone will believe it. Support this with facts and how do you do that? Provide unbiased, fact-based articles and studies from verified, well-trusted sources. So by all means, back your statement up with proof.

CNN attempting to get Trump off the hook again.

Juxtapose this “journalism” with stats on corporate PROFITS & price gouging.

TRUMPFLATION

I want to move to this mythical land of $4 eggs. They were $6.99 this morning. If I got fancypants organic it was $11.59 for a dozen.

jarvisgoogoo.com•15 days ago

Wouldn’t an executive order bring the prices down?

A tracker you say 🤔

Trying to make Trump look competent you say (it's all about ratings and not real news)🤔

Start questioning Trump on why he is breaking his campaign promise. Don’t be silent CNN, they are already staring to kick you out of press briefings. Get some backbone and forget about who owns the Network!

FORGET THE EGGS!

This is NOT an issue.

They make substitute such as "Simply Eggless"

pokerspudda.leelab.cloud•15 days ago

But what the US Media is NOT reporting is that US Inflation was lower than most of the world. In Australia where I live Inflation peaked at almost 8% in 2023.

Inflation is an issue but blaming Biden for it as Trump and the media did was just blatant lying.

hikeitup.bsky.social•15 days ago

Eggs are 9 bucks a dozen where I am. But the national average is $4.15?

Prepare for more increases. Donnie’s back in town.

sccrawley.bsky.social•14 days ago

So obvious that the cost of living problem is supply chains and corporate greed keeping prices high. But who do we blame? Trudeau and immigrants.🤦‍♂️

krink5.bsky.social•15 days ago

Where was this reporting during the prior administration? Do better you sell outs

devokneivel.bsky.social•15 days ago

The cost of 12 eggs in Canadian grocery stores is 3$US. Why doesn't Trump try to lower US prices instead of slapping a ridiculous 25% tariff on Canada?

Can he manage anything well?

j3ffj.bsky.social•14 days ago

It made sense while we were under mask mandates and quarantines. That's been over And everything is still expensive. It's just easier to find toilet paper that costs too much now. I love how our government lets the richest fleece Americans and you guys give them a platform to finger wag one another.

hilhardy.bsky.social•14 days ago

There is zero reason the price of some of these things are still at Covid levels. That’s corporate greed, realizing they could charge that amount and people will still pay it.

pataz1.bsky.social•15 days ago

CNN giving cover for Trump’s ineptitude after Trump promised to bring prices down.

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/12/09/politics/donald-trump-100-days-what-matters

rob-l.bsky.social•15 days ago

Trump will not bring price down. One thing to remember, Donald J Trump is a compulsive liar! If he says he will bring prices down, he actually means prices will skyrocket, meaning inflation will skyrocket, meaning interest rates will skyrocket.

sgw73072.bsky.social•14 days ago

The reality is Trump fucked up the Covid crisis by turning a public health crisis into a political crisis & then an economic crisis. His pathetic mishandling led to a huge disruption of the supply chain. When Biden ended the crisis there was pent up demand but the supply was insufficient to meet it

michaelomorah.bsky.social•15 days ago

You’ve bent the knee, kissed the ring and licked the boot! You shouldn’t cooperate, collaborate or facilitate this Criminal regime! The fact that you’re pushing their agenda, says you are a collaborator, a bootlicker, and you disgust me and balanced my ass, the most trusted name and news my ass!

tande432.bsky.social•15 days ago

We made it through the pandemic.. we can make it through everything! Stay strong, keep your peace of mind and keep going forward. Don't let this MF wear you down

sandersothom.bsky.social•14 days ago

I await with baited breath your interview in which Trump details his plan for lowering grocery costs for average Americans. No? Just more unchallenged blithering about displacing Palestinians and him not knowing what DOGE does with our info? Just another day in Trump’s America, #CNNsucks

rob-l.bsky.social•15 days ago

The cost of food and everything else will rise rapidly under the Trump administration, because his tariffs on different countries will cause inflation to skyrocket. But people didn’t think of that.

butterfly-palm.bsky.social•15 days ago

Time to focus on the midterms

tourswag.bsky.social•15 days ago

if you are going to look at eggs you HAVE TO LOOK at bird flu killing 10's of millions of brood hens

chidi1.bsky.social•15 days ago

And now cows

azurskee.bsky.social•15 days ago

….wonder off others think that some of be the increase are not supply driven… that companies are using tariffs and supply as a cover for raising their prices…and when bozos tariffs are activated for real, that prices will rise even more….along with shrinking contents…

mssummerblossom.bsky.social•15 days ago

CNN has become a piece of shite.

gxro6883.bsky.social•15 days ago

Explain the natural gas market then. Spoiler it’s broken.

steveperkins62.bsky.social•15 days ago

Why don't you track how much prices have increased since just Jan 20th? Or would that go against the guy you help get elected?

dana-farmer.bsky.social•15 days ago

I'm wondering if that data is a. Available from the U. S. Bureau of Statistics (CNN's source) b. If available, if the Bureau has cooked the books since January.

steveperkins62.bsky.social•15 days ago

Pretty much everything will be cooked from now on. That is if it's released at all. Musk is screwing with All of the data,so probably not anything accurate for a long time.

onalarkwithaspark.bsky.social•15 days ago

Exactly. They have data through end of January.

Let’s see it.

perfect1yflawed.bsky.social•15 days ago

Are you going to be honest about it, or are you going to keep teabagging Trump and gaslighting Americans?

chidi1.bsky.social•15 days ago

Can we do our own tracking in a more fair news channel

therealbrianl.bsky.social•15 days ago

But…but…I thought the Orange Turd was supposed to be bringing costs down in Day 1?! We’re nearly 3 weeks in and most costs have only gone up!

No need for that. Every American is doing that in real time every time they shop for groceries

lacompa.bsky.social•15 days ago

Do you think the war in the breadbasket of Europe has anything to do with world food prices and hence US food prices?

DonOld, stop food exports from US will stabilize US food prices, and reduce trade deficit of US too :).

This is the journalism that used to be done at local papers.
Well done CNN.

Corporate greed sucks

aliphaire.bsky.social•15 days ago

Yeah....we can't trust CNN to tell us the truth anymore.

sandybeaches21.bsky.social•15 days ago

During Covid epidemic billionaire business owners discovered they could price gouge and do with less workers by exploiting the ones they had. Also they seemed to fire all quality control workers & make triple $ now for low quality food & products

itsfundamental.bsky.social•15 days ago

"This characteristic most commonly found in privately owned market based systems has negative connotations if you're a dirty commie."

"What is greed?"
