Which wasn't even "paid out"

An egg. My kingdom for an egg!

I didn't vote for him.

Worth more than $100 these days.

a $100 certificate they could use to purchase a new Bluetooth speaker or couple Keurig coffee makers,” said Pew pollster Dana Felder, who

I do not for one minute believe that $100 is buying a couple of Keurig coffee makers, unless those guys are going ridiculously hard on the razor-and-blades model.

checks Amazon

Yeah. The least-expensive Keurig coffee maker on Amazon is $60:

It looks like they go up to $126.

Maybe a couple of Mr. Coffee coffeemakers.

This article was first posted in 2021 and has not been edited since. Inflation has been considerable in that time.

Remember when things were....affordable?

[-] MangoCats@feddit.it 3 points 1 week ago

Not Keurig coffee makers.

It's not, these are the promises, like cheap eggs, affordable groceries and $1.98/gallon gasoline.

My ex and I scored 5 at the thrift for $5 each. I'll never understand paying retail, and especially for coffee makers. I did pay "full" price for my Amazon French press. Whatever.

Haha! You don't have a democracy to swap!

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Democracy? Lol. Can we trade in our plutocracy for anything?

[-] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 week ago

how does a dictatorship and a side of day old fries sound?

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Apparently that sounds fucking fantastic to the average voter.

I ate this onion quite hard

Bait was never this believable before.

[-] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 week ago

I mean, $100 bucks at Best Buy is like $35 at actual market prices. I'd need at least a $200 gift card.

[-] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago

That's maybe two 1.5m HDMI cables.

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

The Americans already did, for the promise of cheap eggs and an ethnostate.

[-] tauren@lemm.ee 13 points 1 week ago

I mean, this is more or less what happened in November.

[-] PanArab@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago

If 5 million USD can buy you a US citizenship, why can’t I sell mine for 5 mill USD? I will gladly do so, and I bet I won’t be the only one.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, is there a sign up sheet?

[-] Jaybird@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

They already did, and the gift card has also been spent...

[-] KulunkelBoom@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

Sure... plus tax.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

the avg American wouldn't give a fuck, at all. they would shout "gimme that!" not even knowing what they were trading away, thinking it's "just some political bullshit".

[-] Nublets@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Still waiting on my gift card...

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Didn’t this already happen with Elon “paying” people to vote Trump?

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

I thought it would've been a Wal-Mart gift card.

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago

Im totally going to egg some random guys house in the suburbs because of this news article, no wait eggs and beer… fine I’ll just get a forty ounce and the eggs

[-] sqgl@beehaw.org 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Strange closing paragraph.

the highest they’d been since 1996 when 80% of Americans stated that they would live under an Islamic theocracy in exchange for a $50 gift card to Radio Shack.
