Goddamn Biden again!

Grocery prices in the U.S. soared faster in April than any month in nearly four years, driving up the cost of everything from frankfurters to tomatoes to cupcakes, government data this week showed.

Fresh vegetables cost 11.5% more than they did a year ago. Seafood prices are up 6.2% over that time, according to the data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
The jump in food prices stems in part from a historic oil shock set off by the Iran war, which increased diesel costs, some analysts told ABC News. Diesel is the lifeblood of the food supply chain, fueling trucks and ships. Higher fuel costs for suppliers mean price hikes in grocery aisles as the increased costs are passed down the supply chain.

Tariffs and weather-related shortages, analysts added, helped push up prices for some food items, worsening the strain on shoppers’ wallets.

“Whenever there is disruption in energy markets, it works its way into food prices eventually,” Parke Wilde, a food economist at Tufts University, told ABC News. “I think that’s what we’re seeing.”

Also too, whoever is in charge of the Bureau of Labor Statistics is probably going to need a new job shortly.

It is true


No, but it might cause me to complain about special pleading and partisan bias, if people lose their minds about one while hand waving the other away...


... As I was saying. Also, haha no. Congress way outperforms the executive branch in this. Always has.


I do care. Just not as strongly nor as selectively as you do.

Cool, so if there is legislation to address this corruption with real consequences, you won't scream something about "socialism", right?

The Trump Justice Department is dropping Biden-era charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani.
The reversal came after Adani hired a new legal team led by one of Trump's personal lawyers.
That lawyer went to DOJ and made a proposal: If prosecutors dropped the charges, Adani would be willing to invest $10 billion in the American economy and create 15,000 jobs.

Sure he will. I'm sure he's going to be right on top of that.

Bull ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ ◊◊◊◊. Adani will invest not one brass tack. He may take the $10bn from the US government though.

I would say that the higher the office, the more seriously we should take corruption. And that Trump is more corrupt than any US President since universal suffrage.

Some people just don't believe that he's corrupt. Some people make excuses for his corruption. Some people are just blind followers and don't care if he's corrupt or not because "Noah was an alcoholic, he's not going to be perfect!"

Some people are all of those rolled into one.

I generally agree with this. Since I consider the three branches of government to be co-equal, I take corruption in each branch with equal seriousness.

I doubt it. But even so, going from zero concern about the corruption of every other Senator and President ever, to absolute maximum unrelenting outrage about Trump's corruption in particular doesn't do anything to convince me you actually care about corruption.
