    “I will immediately bring prices down starting on Day 1,” he said on Aug. 15, for example. “Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down,” he promised later that same month.

    He backed away from that last month.

    This is what Murca needs. More lies and long cons. Murca was lied to, and Krasnov only needed 1/3 of them to fall for it.

    We handed the country over to a dictator because of eggs. The least he could do to say thank you is lower their prices.

    Imagine campaigning on ‘immediate relief’ and then reposting an article that screams ‘suck it up.’ Iconic failure. Missed opportunities to explore potential solutions or broader economic implications.

        Our education system is bad, but it’s not “don’t teach about the French revolution” bad. Hell my high school even made a point to point out that Antoinette was a teenager who likely didn’t actually say that

          Ah, but online high schools/credit recovery. The French Revolution is often covered in a fifteen minute video with four multiple choice questions and a short response (which is almost always turned in with an obviously AI generated answer, and marked with 100% because there’s no longer an expectation that a teacher be qualified to teach their subject - a high school diploma is enough in Oklahoma)

          I’d met with a high schooler over zoom (thirty minutes once a week was the requirement) - “hey, tell me what you thought about that American Civil War unit you just completed?” - and they wouldn’t be able to name the century the war happened, had no idea who Abraham Lincoln was, couldn’t name the Confederacy - hell, didn’t recognize that the American Civil War happened in the United States.

          My current role as a tutor (because most high schools would rather have an unqualified high school grad that a transsexual union member with a masters degree - and tbh, getting a school bomb threats on the off chance that LibsOfTikTok targets me is not a risk I feel I can expose others too) shocks me. You have long term subs that don’t understand the pre algebra concepts teaching Algebra 2 and Pre Calc. (Every time I hear the term “cross multiply” I cringe in preparation for the horror I’m about to see)

          But yes - education is 100% that bad in southern states.

          If it was truly her that said it, she would have been even younger than that. The book in which it’s written (which is known to not be fully factual and in which the quote is attributed to “a great princess”) was written when Antoinette was 9 years old. But it wasn’t published until she was 26, eight years after she became queen.

          “If they have no bread, let them eat cake.” sounds like something I would expect a 6-7yo who had never gone without luxury food to say.

            I can’t imagine anything she could’ve reasonably done in the environment she lived in that wouldn’t’ve been deeply offensive to the peasantry. Versailles was at its core a tool to insulate the nobility and separate them from reality. Her life and death were tragic, not because of some condemnation of the poor who killed her, but because they weren’t even wrong to do so and yet this teenager who was probably one of the least evil people at Versailles had to be the one to pay the price for the systems crafted by people like Louis XIV and Maria Theresa Hapsburg.

            The republic was necessary. The fall of bourbon was necessary. The people were right to be mad. But there is a tragedy in how some people are corrupted and broken by power they wouldn’t have asked for and have to pay the price for it

      MYSELF

      I really could not stop laughing from earlier today (I think it was the Young Turks podcast I was listening to) when I heard them play some crazy bullshit from the State Media Television and someone was talking, in the context of little d destroying our economy with tariffs, about how this will be just more of “Biden’s economy” if things get painful due to what little d is doing to us.

      I mean, seriously. I guess Biden made little d play his tariff game? But I’m sure there are a non-zero amount of redcaps that watch that shit and nod their heads to it.

        The only reason the redcaps nod their head in response to information is to make sure the air doesn’t escape through the ears

        I think you’re only allowed to do that if you’re an immigrant. If you’re an American, you’re legally obliged to uncritically consume absolute nonsense propaganda and be super racist towards said immigrants.

      Elon is triggered… so talk more about eggs. Publish and share more egg recipes and recommend more dishes with eggs in them.

      High egg prices are doubleplusgood.

      In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it.

    Yeah, you hear that, PEASANTS? Shut the fuck up about the prices of things, and TAKE IT. Show some goddamn respect for your BETTERS.

    Billionaires need some peace and quiet while they divvy up the country’s spoils amongst each other. Spoils from YOUR hard labor, by the way.
