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 12 points 5 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.

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!

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 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 27 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

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

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 68 points 5 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 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

Capitalism

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 19 points 5 days ago

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

[–] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 5 days ago

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

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

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 27 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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 5 days ago

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

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 17 points 5 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 24 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yes, the grocery prices were lower on day one

…than they are today.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 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 4 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.

[–] zaphodb2002@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I honestly think the rising price of coffee is gonna end in violence. People will fight in the aisles to get their fix, I know I'm desperately addicted. I can grow my own cannabis and make my own beer and wine, but coffee only grows far away.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 2 points 5 days ago

I gave up caffeine a few years ago. I sleep better, wake up with more energy. The first two weeks were hell but now I don't care about the price of coffee. I do have the occasional decaf still, but a cup a month doesn't impact my finances.

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

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 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Fandangalo@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Yeah, the pandemic was a complete shift, and I have 0 faith in the current economic policy. Tariffs won’t yield benefit for the average American and will often cost them more. Isolationism is a terrible policy when our main “products” are financial services, and the average American would never accept the wages of the global south. Even if we had factory infrastructure (which we don’t), the margins don’t make sense. We’ve also got bubbles on bubbles of fictional value (micro loans, housing, AI…). Tech is also imploding for the average worker, so less middle class opportunities.

I feel like my confidence in the American economy is at an all-time-low each day, lower than the last.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm not sure I would trust the chart on that page. Not only does it conflict with the numbers lower down on the page, but it says the average price for a dozen eggs is like $3. Looking around online, the cheapest I could find for a dozen eggs (across multiple states) was over $3.

Also, ancedotally, by me eggs have been going back up again from about $5.50 to over $7.

[–] Fandangalo@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

That’s a good observation. How can the highest and lowest prices be between $6 - $11, but the average is $3?

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Because that's not the average price, that's the average cheapest price

Why is there a -1.6% next to energy?

Probably stuff they omitted, like gas (cars).

Yeah these percentages don't add up

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 5 days ago (1 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 4 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.
