1. Oh yeah, bigger paychecks & lower prices.

Stop blowing smoke up our asses.

2. Pathetic.

3. I picked a good year to really cut back on red meat consumption.

2 strokes and a TIA last fall, and I have had 1 steak, 1 steak bowl at Salsarita's, and one serving of lamb in 2026. Before, my default for a meal was red meat. If I could eat a big sloppy cheeseburger for every meal and not gain a ton of weight and have a disabling stroke... but gotta choose to live, you know?

But I hate this for people who want it, and can indulge in it without it being a short-term death sentence, and who didn't vote for this. I've already seen MAGAs around here blame both gas and grocery prices on greedy corporations (funny how that didn't happen with gas or eggs under Biden), so fuck them. I hope they enjoy their $20 Whopper. I'll be eating my grilled chicken salad, thanks. Of course, that will probably go way through the roof soon.

Conservatives have said that the country needs to be run like a business for forever. Well now,

4. Tastes like cardboard too.

Whatever you buy, MBA's are stripping out the costly ingredients and providing you less!

5. Adjusted for inflation, the minimum wage was the highest in 1969.

[Codifer]

7. I remember that

I was pretty high in 1969 too.

Miss that.

[BeneteauBum]

10. Yep

High Times….

6. So true. Everything is not fine.

8. Eggs are a deal though.

BBQ season without beef.

[Martin68]

9. I assume the means the price of per pound.

[twodogsbarking]

12. 0.453592 kilos

11. Dems need to spend serious money hammering this home to the brainless masses we live amongst.

Even the goobers n gomers might take notice.

[BaronChocula]

13. I believe they already are... and are winning

Democrats won these tough races because we ran strong candidates focused on what matters most to Americans — affordability and kitchen table issues.
