Longhorns. Astros. Chiefs. Texas Democrat. Star Wars. All things Disney. Marvel. Aspiring Californian. Unashamed Swiftie and dog dad. I like pizza. Not beer so much but other carbonated beverages are nice.
“And our Cheeseburger Index shows where affordable meals can be found, and that in some cities like Lincoln, NE; Milwaukee, WI; and Detroit, MI a family’s dollar can go twice as far as others.”
So instead of saying “beef is way up,” they’re gonna help you find the best of the bad options.

This caveat cracked me up:
“And our Cheeseburger Index shows where affordable meals can be found, and that in some cities like Lincoln, NE; Milwaukee, WI; and Detroit, MI a family’s dollar can go twice as far as others.”
It’s their spin to avoid saying beef prices are a disaster.

Eggs must be doing the heavy lifting because of they got up over $6 a dozen at my store at the height of the bird flu
And yeah they’re down to $4.44 but they were like $2.50 before the pandemic and between $3-$4 a year ago.

They claim everyday prices are dropping as if we don’t buy our own stuff
At my store the price of bananas and milk are up. A 1 lb sirloin steak that cost $7.99 a year ago is now $10.99. Ground beef that was $5.99 is now over $8
And eggs are still nearly double pre-pandemic prices
We shop. We know

Honestly, I applaud the initiative. They said “fine, if that’s a problem, we will solve this market inefficiency.”
Just like the old elevator operators who were literally only there because people didn’t trust elevators. If it makes people buy your stuff, good for you

They literally removed the entire section where he goes on a diatribe about his 60 Minutes lawsuit and him saying he was GIVING them permission to remove it

It’s SO much cooler. Every time my father in law starts his Audi EV I’m like…why can’t I afford this?

But gas car go vroom vroom!
It cracks me up how many fossil fuel shills literally made the argument that Americans wouldn’t accept faster, more efficient electric cars because they don’t rev.

Drove my brother in law’s hybrid and had the exact same experience. Every time I braked I looked down to try to max out that green bar

Because AIPAC just desperately doesn’t want Obamacare subsidies? Seriously what in the world do y’all think the goal is here? You’re just vilifying AIPAC blindly and it’s silly

We laugh but I’m honestly convinced that the insane ending of Fast X is a big part of the reason we were supposed to get part 2 in 2024, but it’s now 2025 and we’re still at least 2 years away from finding out how the last movie actually ended

We will hear Donald Trump and #Republicans co-opting #VeteransDay.
Remember who cut SNAP, cut #Medicaid for Veterans, used the military as props in Los Angeles and for Trump’s birthday parade, and illegally orders them to kill alleged drug dealers at sea.
Let’s remember our Oath. Trump doesn’t.

Yeah because she got to Washington and got complacent and her constituents saw that
There’s a reason AIPAC was able to topple her and whatshisname in New York who also sucked but not Omar or AOC or anyone else they’d like to topple. Money does a lot in politics but it doesn’t do everything
