Quote:President Joe Biden on Tuesday will launch a new task force to take on “unfair and illegal” corporate pricing, which Biden sees as a major reason why consumers are not yet feeling the impact of cooling inflation rates and a strong economy. now don't get me wrong, even though this comes right during the election cycle and addressing the fear that voters are pissed about the cost of living and are afraid their going to be voted out, it's still is a good thing. but it's not the real problem, there are two reasons for the high cost of living, and shrinkflation. first is, even though inflation is cooling it's still high and the fed hasn't reduced interest rates. companies are still paying more for materials and trying to stay afloat, and i would say greed is part of it also. second is bidenomics, things weren't all that bad under trump, in fact they were pretty good until the plandemic, and then biden took office and let the cdc shut down everything. until inflation is under control and reduced and bidenomics done away with noithing will change. oh and one more thing, shrinkflation started a long time ago, back when the FTC allowed the first ice cream sale of less than a half gallon and allowed companies to still call them a half gallon so long as the actual weight was on the carton. Blue Bell commercial posted in 2011 and is about bell blues brithday in 2007, and i'm sure it goes back even further. notice the still full half gallon on the carton. from the description of the video, Quote:13,145 views Mar 6, 2011 the video, RE: Me Hate Shrinkflation Me Cookies Are Getting Smaller - Ninurta - 03-05-2024 Well. If I owned a company, and the Democrats started trying to squeeze me out of business like this, by passing laws intended only to cover their own asses regarding their dismal economic policies, I'd just say "Fine.. I'll stop reducing weights, and instead start increasing prices to reflect the increased costs of Bidenflation. And I'll run ads nationwide explaining the reasons for that to people. Y'all have a nice time with your attempts at sleight of hand to cover your own asses. At the end of the day, your asses will still be swinging in the wind... and I'll still be in business." . RE: Me Hate Shrinkflation Me Cookies Are Getting Smaller - EndtheMadnessNow - 03-05-2024 Ah, we're back to cookies again. You know come summer it'll be back to 'We all scream for ice cream' Some BS I fed into AI lyrics machine and this is what it spit out: Glorious Questions Verse 1 Blue, a violent storm tears on Joe Biden when hate was born Eviscerate, Independence, mutilate with East Coast love desecrates March towards oblivion Fury be my guide sinners and saints all crucified Chorus Oh Save America, Save America Darkness descends Without WORLD the pain never ends Verse 2 Agony infested drowning in cookies pure evil, manifested Wrote Nothing on a grave bloody, rotted affairs who should we save? No spirits to conjure in volcanoes of dark a sniper's bullet never misses its mark Chorus Oh Save America, Save America Darkness descends Without WORLD happiness the pain never ends. |
