"Earlier in the day, she said, she realized her family of five—that’s her, her fiancé, and their three kids—were out of groceries, so she picked up some milk and eggs at a CVS around the corner.
“Seventeen dollars,” she said. “Can you believe that?”
Things didn’t feel this hard to her under Trump, "

For the 1000000th time, Trump didn't have jack-all to do with the price of eggs and milk in 2019 anymore than Biden does in 2024. Would it be too much to explain to these folks that voting for Trump in 2024 is not pressing a "2019 Prices" reset button?? Or do we just go along with that and pretend that Trump "created" the economic conditions people remember (and often confuse with the COVID economy - the $2 gas prices for example), and not bother telling them either that Trump's proposed across the board 20-60% tariffs will raise prices on just about every product on the shelves by about that much?
Also, enough with the kvetching about grocery prices. If you buy your milk and eggs at CVS, for five people, you're paying a premium price for perishable goods at a drugstore, no shit they cost more. If you buy this stuff at a grocery store, a dozen eggs in my local King Soopers are between $3-$4 a carton. A gallon of milk is between $3-$4. What were the prices in 2019 - probably about the fucking same, give or take. Eggs did go up in price a couple years ago because of bird flu, not "Biden". They've fallen since. I'm sorry but I'm sick and tired of the increasingly out of whack inflation perspectives and this being an excuse to vote for Trump - who is running a campaign promising to raise prices on purpose, but apparently that's a bit too much for any reporter to even introduce into the conversation whenever it comes up - especially if they're coming form an outlet that for reasons I cannot fathom seems to be spoiling for a Trump win, evident in every slanted article highlighting on voters with negative attitudes about the Democrats and "quiet" Trump support, hardly being able to find, it seems, a single Harris voter in a 60% Democratic county from 2020. Or maybe just cherry picking which ones make the article to create a different impression HMMM.
"But I would rather this country be run by someone who knows what they’re doing and is responsible.”
I told her that sounds like a Trump vote, but she corrected me. "
Yeah, pretty much "someone who knows what they're doing and is responsible" does not sound like "Donald Trump" to me lol, nice fishing expedition though!
