Another BS AP article.
How can this be! The President promised lower grocery bills within three weeks of his election and then “liberated” us soon after.
Easy explanation: Associated Press is craptivistic legacy media. Where was this article when we had 10%+ inflation during the Biden years? You know full well that grocery bills have gone down in the last few months. Even if we were to use the price of eggs (the most highly publicized metric), the prices have gone back down to 2018 levels since March.
Yet another example of why so many of us relish the failure of these juggernauts and the widespread employment of their unthinking hamsters spinning those little wheels.
You’re still going to trot that one out? It’s as tired as the GM of the Colts still whining about Andrew Luck retiring. Move on.
Trump has the media in his pocket and is demolishing everything that doesn’t kiss the ring. He’s got more control of the media than any President in decades. You should be gloating about all the punching down.
Your snotty, undeserved sense of elitism is incredibly boring, Lauren. Nice cherry picking, too. It certainly fits nicely in your little narrative that you think justifies your seat in your ivory tower. Let’s look at some other baking goods and the Year-Over-Year change under Trump…
Flour: +2.1%
Bread: +2.1%
Beef: +2.3%, all time high
Pork: +2.5%
Chicken: +1.2%
Coffee: +2.5%
Fuel: +1.1%
There’s plenty more where that came from. Go take several seats.
Cool statistics!
If my stats about Associated Press being craptivistic legacy media are so “tired” then why do they have so little influence? Why do they fail to comport with the reality that most Americans are experiencing and have been voting for accordingly. It must be so frustrating for A.R. that his hilarious food statistics aren’t remotely convincing to the “middle class”.
Joe, do you think Colbert’s “voice of the people” only got canceled because of #47? His ratings are down sharply from late Letterman, who was also down a fair bit from early Letterman. Pfizer basically bailed Colbert out. I virtually never watch TV, but when it’s on at a restaurant or a health club I see enough to realize that 50% of commercials are Big Pharma. Of course Colbert was spewing nonsense about the COVID jabs. Bigger question: how much longer can other legacy productions (Kimmel, Seth Green, Fallon, SNL) survive with similarly abysmal ratings? We can remain uninterested longer than these junk institutions can remain solvent.
As for trump, who is he “punching down” on Joe–the Democrats’ remaining voting base of illegals? So sorry your latest Jim Crow schemes aren’t working as well as the did for your Dixiecrat predecessors 50+ years ago. It’s deeply frustrating to the neocon scum as well that they can’t exploit cheap labor…but then a shared love of slavery unites neocons and neolibs.
Are we pretending now that IBJ readership represent the little guy? Y’all are too funny. You’re less in touch than the average journo at AP.
I wonder how this stress compares to student loans.
The “buy now pay later” program reminds me of student loans. An accident waiting to happen. There is nothing but trouble here.
Yeah, but that’s what Republicans want. Squeeze the life out of the middle class, crash the economy, and buy up the assets for pennies on the dollar.
They’d like a repeat of the era of company towns.
