    The only thing somewhat saving me right now is unfortunately utilizing Amazon grocery delivery. I’m spending less because I’m not browsing the aisles and only getting the necessities.

          Want cheap eggs? Factory farming is the only way. Bird flu culls will forever make prices bounce around.

          My wife and I are wanting to raise chickens, she has the experience and we have a solid hen house, just need fencing. My last vegan gf didn’t like that idea, said it was still exploitative and hurt the chickens keeping them laying eggs. Gf before her had a couple of backyard chickens and they seemed happy and content, loved her. What are your thoughts?

      Yeah, eggs are a terrible example. The sky high price last year wasn’t because of inflation, it was because farms had to kill giant numbers of chickens due to the bird flu. If you take something like milk, it’s more representative.

    Let’s talk about tariffs. I bought a $6 hair clip on Amazon a couple days ago. Imagine my astonishment when the total came to $25. 🤯

    About the only true thing he said is stock market record highs. Unfortunately, most people aren’t day traders and actually earn a wage to buy necessities so the ups and downs of the market in the short term are meaningless.

      It doesn’t feel much like it’s hitting new highs. It feels like the dollar is hitting new lows.

    Unless you break it down to individual words, there isn’t a single true thing in that entire post.

    I don’t understand how it’s legal; for the country’s elected leader, to just outright lie and gas light, ALL of the time !

      Who enforces these laws he breaks? I think the wealthy having no laws has been the main problem in the United States for my entire lifetime. That and popular vote not meaning anything

      Who’s to say this is a lie? The ministry of truth? /s

      I understand your frustration, but he was an inveterate liar before he was elected the first time. So, at least a plurality of the voting public don’t see that as much of a negative.

      The US rule of law is gone. The trump regime violates the constitution daily, breaks laws daily, and has violated court rulings and judges’ orders. The supreme court is corrupt and has allowed him get away with anything. Nazis Republicans in congress are corrupt and refuse to check or limit the president’s power.

      Masked men in plain clothes are kidnapping innocent people off the streets daily and denying them a lawyer or due process. They are literally terrorists.

      I heard Ivanka had to get artificially inseminated because her body naturally rejected his sad and withered manhood.

        you probably mean Ivana but I can’t be certain because he’s talked about wanting to fuck his daughter several times before

          Oh, that means you probably haven’t seen this interview with her before. Just watch the first minute, that’s all you need to really dispel any doubts you may have had. It really sucks to watch, even knowing how terrible of a person she is today.

    “Day and night the telescreens bruised your ears with statistics proving that people today had more food, more clothes, better houses, better recreations—that they lived longer, worked shorter hours, were bigger, healthier, stronger, happier, more intelligent, better educated, than the people of fifty years ago.”

    I drive every day past a house that still has one of those “TRUMP LOW PRICES KAMALA HIGH PRICES” fucking signs in their front yard. To add to it, the family that lives there is black and the house is part of a government housing project provided by Delaware Country. Sometimes I think about what it would be like to be inside that house and listening to the people there talking, and I shudder.

        Holy shit you were fast, I took it down within seconds because I was just ranting.

          I think it didn’t propagate to my instance right away, I see about 3 minute difference between our comments. I do the same thing though, I’m sure people have seen my random rants for similar reasons.
