We will reduce your sentence to 2 years of ~~re-education~~ de-education if you say something nice about Charlie Kirk.

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 14 points 4 days ago

We will kick another year off of that if you swear allegiance to Israel.

say something nice about Charlie Kirk.

He wanted to see the Epstein files released. We should honor that!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

trump surely doesnt, he changes subject everytime epstein file/kirk is mentioned.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

The irony of MAGA coining the term "TDS", as though they aren't worshiping him like a rabid cult is too much. It's always projection with them.

TDS is basically having the gall to take the things he says and does at face value.

I heard that RFK Jr. is working on a treatment for TDS using crystals, homeopathy, and acupressure. I am praying that they are able to find a cure for this terrible illness that is destroying our country!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 3 days ago

and his favorite drink methylene blue.

He's lying.....even I know TDS is projecting

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Charlie Kirk found the cure.

It's one banana Michael, what could it cost? 6.6% more than it used to? (I assume this is since he took office but it's not explicitly stated)

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Soon a banana might indeed cost $10. The economic numbers don't look that great.

He said he had concepts of a plan!

Bankrupt a casino? How can You bankrupt a casino? He managed to bankrupt, what is basically a scam, and still calls himself a businessman.

[–] hyperhopper@lemmy.world 73 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He did it 6 times, not 1.

The answer is corruption, skimming from the top, and using company assets as if they were his.

Sounds familiar

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I suppose he also made lots of money from his bankruptcies.

Capitalism

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 21 points 4 days ago

Bankruptcy is a feature for the wealthy, and a horrible last resort for the working class.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 3 days ago

also helping russians to launder money through them.

[–] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Casinos are not "basically a scam" they are literally a scam on paper.

This data is flawed because it doesn't take into account the increase in CEO bonuses and payouts. That should be enough to offset inflation for those who are rich enough and therefore actually matter and deserve to exist in peace. For the rest of us, we have to make do with trickle-down happiness.

[–] Tower@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago

Or just the general price gouging companies are doing because they can

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 30 points 4 days ago

That’s deep state antifa demoncrats doing it, they control Big Grocery!

To be fair I expected worse

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

There's still time.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well you’re in luck because we’re in free fall

Why is there a -1.6% next to energy?

Probably stuff they omitted, like gas (cars).

Yeah these percentages don't add up

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Did he lower them on day 1? Because technically maybe he didn't say he'd keep them low? 😅🤸‍♂️🤪

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes, the grocery prices were lower on day one

…than they are today.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Not what I asked, but I gathered that much from the image.

he actually said he cant lower it, and never mentioned it again, plus the msm never bothered to follow up as well.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Coffee has become more expensive all around the world though. Because harvests have failed.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes, and egg prices were rising rapidly due to disease, not some economic mechanism, yet he still promised to that if he were in office it wouldn't have happened. So if he is going to promise on things outside of the control of the government, we should hold him to it.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well he also stopped monitoring for bird flu.

Eggs here in Finland are still cheap.

Also, coffee has remained relatively stable here too.

I just re-upped my coffee beans for home. I knew it was going to be more than expected but was not prepared for just how much more. I don't go to Starbucks and the like but man those prices must be an insane jump as well.

So long as he’s rounding up brown people, Trump could shit in the mouths of his supporters and they’d still love him

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

When did this chart start? I was looking to buy steaks on friday and those fucking things were like 2.5X what they cost last time I bought one. Ended up with porkchops instead. Bourbon was cheaper though...

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Bourbon was cheaper though...

Of course it is, we have a glut of it right now in the USA because Canada stopped buying it up. There's a lot more supply than demand now.

[–] Cataphract@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I cook for someone who hates porkchops but loves steaks and we ran into a similar problem with outrageous prices. Found a happy medium in thick cut pork chops cooked like steaks. Think I ended up using Lawry's seasoned salt and some white/black pepper but cooking it in the same cast iron with some butter had it coming out with the same texture and flavor as the steaks.

I’m not a fan of this administration and consider myself pretty far left. Having said that, I watch the egg prices from time-to-time because Trump loves to use this line about fixing the egg prices in one week. At the moment, seems like they are down? Could be the USDA is lying; could be the meme refers to CA prices, which are statistical outliers at the moment.

I’d say the chart feels accurate for what I’ve experienced for prices. Energy has spiked so badly around us.

[–] relativestranger@feddit.nl 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

eggs have been pretty stable here the last several months, but they're still over triple the 'pre pandemic' price.
