Its kind of impressive how someone can say something so stupid that its genuinely difficult to argue against.
Not because there isn’t an argument. It’s because it’s so out of left field, you somehow ended up with a basketball.
The largest private employer in the United States is Wal-Mart. I can assure you that cheap prices are 100% part of the American dream.
And it’s a dream because you have to be asleep to believe it. Walmart loves running anyone else out of town by keeping price slow and the store as unprofitable until no competition is around. Then after that’s out they’ll raise prices because the fuck you gonna do about it?
Same company that has training for its workers on how to apply for food stamps.
They might as well bring out some Bronzo spokescreature to literally give the finger to the part of his base that actually thought he was going to give them cheap eggs.
Because, what are they going to do about it?
Lmao, so since being rich is the American dream, being poor is unpatriotic and punishable.
Agree to disagree, but they most definitely were a part of his campaign promises.
Well that’s just what we call pillow talk baby, that’s all
First you want to kill me, then you want to kiss me. Spits out pit Blow!
This is insane. They could have kept playing MAGA like a fiddle, but he had to open his mouth. The people who believe in trump, that I have interacted with, think that low prices are part of the plan that will happen alongside the racism. I am expecting orange boy to say the secretary didn’t actually mean that.
Trump never said he would lower prices. Trump has always said higher prices are better. Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.
But it is what people believe.

Yes, it’s a famous quote from 1984, the book. The government keeps changing what they consider the facts to be. It should be required reading.
It just indicates that Trump doesn’t care what they think any more. He’s no longer trying to please voters. They have done their job and where he’s taking the USA, there won’t be voters. Besides, he knows they’ll always be with him when it comes to hurting people they don’t like. Expensive eggs won’t change their bigotry.
But it will disenfranchise all the people who voted for him because “cheaper eggs”. Like I was saying, those people thought it was in the plan until the secretary put that out. People are currently suffering because of the cost of living, hearing that quote will be a direct slap in their face after selling their morals for cheaper goods. We still have yet to see the damage/damage control.
The media will successfully deflect blame away from Trump’s government. These people are eager to believe any story except that they’ve been hoodwinked.
Oh, they’ll still be just as cheap. You’re just going to pay more for them.
As a Canadian the rampant enshittification of American products is one of the reasons I avoid them now (pre tariffs).
America has many high quality brands, but so often once they beat out competitors they dump the quality and ramp up the prices.
I’ve lost a lot of trust in American goods, and it’s not the workers faults.
Oh man I remember in the 90s my dad said the same thing about Chinese products. Then I became an adult and noticed the only American products that actually existed were the plastic covers they put around Chinese metal
“It’s called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it” has never hit harder.
Asleep/not woke
So how are those eggs doing? - a concerned Canadian
My girls lay them faster than we can eat them, so we give them away for free because fuck charging for food.
