    Pepperidge Farm remembers when voters voted for Trump because of the “high prices” under Biden. Now the prices are even HIGHER. 🤔

    Small price to pay for all the Freedom™ we’re bringing to weddings and schools across Iran.

    Gas never got that expensive here when Biden was president. Also everything else wasn’t as expensive while he was president either.

    Paying more and more for the same stuff sucks, but it’s hardly in the top 10 real problems right now.

      I’m not gonna complain about you but I’m gonna complain here because it’s relevant.

      The whole “gas under Biden” thing goes to show how fucking stupid people are. It fundamentally misses what’s going on here. Gas was expensive in Biden era because of COVID (essentially a natural disaster) massively disrupting the global logistics network. Gas is expensive now because Donnie likes to bomb brown people. Equating the two is fundamentally stupid, and even the statement “its more expensive now than under Biden” while made in good faith is normalizing the idea that Biden caused COVID price disruptions?? When in reality Trump was the “take no action” guy who let it fester???

      This pisses me the fuck off.

      This and they use a national average. I get they need some sort of yardstick, but I never saw prices this high under Biden. I’d be really curious to see what State actions have been taken under both administrations to modulate energy costs, especially those at the pump, that are affecting numbers. 100% agree that everything else on top of energy prices is a squeeze this country has never really felt before.

    Well you see, gas prices are a delicate game. One has to balance trade and security. It’s a very complex issue for dear leader…
