The page where we find out if the price of eggs and gas (and other things) was worth the price of our democracy.
Well, I promised to post the day before and the day after inauguration day and I am but without pictures. The prices didn’t change at all so there’s no point in making a full post.

Okay, this page is officially active. In light of Trump’s deportations going live very soon, I’ve added a number of produce items to the list of prices I’m going to be watching. What I will be watching is a few imports, some basic groceries, and produce. I’m watching to see just how high they’ll.

Gas is 2.34 on 12/09/20224

I wanted to add a couple of other things to list of items I’m watching. Lobster imported from Canada and beer imported from Mexico.

Watching the occasional MAGA cultist futilely trying to spread hate on Bluesky — only to be instantly blocked — is so satisfying to watch. Their frustration at their inability to make any inroads on this platform is palpable.

So a reminder:

It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.

It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.

It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.

For the record.

This is the price of gas at a Shell station in Austin, Texas on Thanksgiving Day 2024.

These are grocery items I’m going to track. If you think I should track other items as well, tell me in the comments.

I’ll make another post the day before and the day after inauguration day to see if sellers are artificially raising prices.

The idea for this page got started on a Threads post. I posted the price of a bunch of groceries items and said I would check back in April to see how the prices have changed. Someone said make an Instagram account and Instagram removed two of my posts so here we are.
