I’m a furloughed Fed employee. The biggest betrayal of all was by the voters last November, aided and abetted by the people who have done nothing but attack Democrats, drowning out the party platform and agenda over and over in a swarm of doomerism.

If you can’t be mad at the GOP, be mad at them.

“Not viewed as” by ppl who aren’t bothering to pay attention. One party has been fighting for those goals for decades and one has been fighting against them.

People can think whatever about the way this played out but honestly I’m never not going to be mad about the accounts that sneered at the ACA subsidies as a pointless waste of effort because they weren’t relevant to the priorities of BlueSky clout pushers

My guess is this is almost entirely based on egg prices.

Coffee, May vs. September:

Meat, May vs. September:

Fruits and vegetables, May vs. September

Whole milk, May vs. August:

to provide a topical analogy here, if I fail to convince someone to take a life saving vaccine it is not bc I dont have a suitable level of will to succeed, its bc the other person is ok with killing themselves and that is actually a pretty hard thing for persuasion to overcome.
