    Then higher salaries are. What’s he doing about that? Nothing. His American dream is using you as a foot rest while you kneel on all fours.

    So that’s the answer to egg price I assume.

    Do American people dream about pricy eggs?

    These MAGA people that believe America needs to be building, making, and growing its own products are so hypocritical. They say this as they buy products from all over the world.

    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?

    The American Dream is home ownership and comfortably supporting a family - not like he’s doing anything to make that more accessible either.

    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.

    Trump voters are some of the stupidest people alive. Just vibes voting that trump will somehow “end inflation” despite there being no evidence that any of his proposed policies would do so. Many of them will suffer as a result of his changes, but as they are unbelievably stupid people, I don’t think they will reject conservatism or capitalism. They’ll just be conned again.

      Cost of tea had very little to do with the Boston Tea Party.

      After taxes on the tea were applied it was still the cheapest tea had ever been in the colonies
