These prices went up under Biden, and Kommunist Camala wants to lower them!

-him, probably

You all heard it hear first, he wants to be the bread man for the Florida region.

Oh come on. The rhetoric is insane . I live in Florida and price gouging during a hurricane or other emergency is absolutely illegal here, there's a hotline to call if you see it. There is a difference between raising prices because your costs have gone up, and price gouging. If the invisible hand of the market isn't working (big surprise, ha) that's what laws are for.

Is Trump the "invisible hand of the marker"? LOL

Isn't he the same guy who's been promising to cut energy costs "in half or less than half," eh?

I recall this recent quote from him at Bedminster when asked about his campaign strategy: "All I have to do is define her as a Communist or a Socialist or say she will destroy America."

All this looks like a conflict on a stereotypical Middle-Eastern market.

Two sides with the emotion of "munnat" in long words and exaggerated comparisons talking stuff about each other that doesn't make sense, but nobody remembers it should even make sense.

Republicans do more of that, but funny for both.

It's because elections are won on emotions and vibes, not "boring" policies, unfortunately.

Yes, but specific emotions and vibes that work or are used today are strange.

Politicians used to imitate that proverbial craftsman that is starving first half of the day, or that proverbial worker class man with one pair of jeans with holes in them and dust grown into his skin, or that proverbial farmer that looks 40 in his 20, but all these somehow gotten to the top to be politicians, or at least a gentleman with good intentions.

While now they play what I described.
