  • Bernie would not have won in 2024. In hindsight, it seems clear that winning in 2020 was at best a booby trap. If Trump had won re-election, the Republicans would be grappling with inflation anger (since absolutely none of his policy preferences would have slowed it, if anything they would have accelerated inflation)

    Now, as usual, the Republican is going to get credit for the hard choices the Democrat had to make in office and the vibes that “Republicans are better for the economy” will continue, unless his tariffs fuck everything up so quickly that even the oblivious can’t ignore it.










  • Well sure, you can always find examples of something being sold for more than average (whether that’s because of greed, human error, quality of product, or market strategy), but it doesn’t make his statement accurate.

    And again, yes I understand that Walmart is selling eggs at around that price point. I’m just saying that if I can regularly find eggs at my local Kroger-owned grocery store for $1 less than Walmart, when Kroger itself is a wannabe monopolistic entity, then Vance is probably stretching the truth as best, if you’re uncomfortable saying he’s lying.
