    I think I must be missing the funny part about the eggs joke. Its a joke, right? That they cost more now?

    Who cares about eggs going to $9? Is this a big deal?

    I got kids a mortgage and two car payments. You think I WANT to pay more? Or you’re saying I shouldn’t complain about the price? And I was asking what part of the hillbilly nation do you live in where you aren’t seeing how expensive things are right now.

    You are really misunderstanding what he originally posted. Zers isn't a Trumpsky fan.

    I’m saying a new car average is $48k, rent and home prices are insane, food/groceries way up, gas, healthcare and so on. But EGGS are what everyone is talking about. I don’t get that. I also have two cars and a mortgage and one in college and one in HS and one in Jr HS. I pay outrageous medical bills with one son a Type 1 diabetic.

    but eggs

    Healthcare, natural gas, insurance lobbies paying msm to keep talking about eggs. It's called manufactured consent.

    And this is why Biden actually lowered the cost of eggs, yet Trump will not.

    He doesn't care about inflation. It doesn't effect him.

    Power will be concentrated which will in effect, transition us to more of an oligarchy than we are now. Trump or Biden, we're all getting screwed and we're still taking sides. The elites don't have sides. They just take and put a letter next to their name. The whole damn system needs to fall. Maybe Trump will get us there sooner.

    Well, there are lots more things we can do to destroy the system if that's what we want.
    Let's all quit our jobs! Let's burn ALL the buildings! Including our houses! Let's blow up bridges, tunnels, railroads, anything that allows commerce!
    Let's poison the water supplies, pollute the air, pull the control rods out of every nuke plant! Only you can start forest fires! So get to it!
    How about mass suicides? If there aren't people to act as the billionaires slaves, they'll starve!

    Only by making things horrible will they be better.

    Making things better by making things better is for losers.

    You're like billionaire Bruce Wayne telling everyone Gotham can be saved when it absolutely cannot. The system is too full of cancer to make incremental changes to the edges like the Democrats say they want.

    The Democrats don't actually want changes though. Not changes that will matter.

    They want to play politics. Not actually improve things.

    Otherwise, they'd be focusing on the few things that solve (or greatly improves) all of the smaller problems. Rather than dividing their base up over thousands of smaller problems that don't have broad support. They would explain how the overall more broad solution also addresses those specific niches, and how it'll be easier to build a coalition to support for the less niche solution.

    I'll buy that. I am rather like Bruce Wayne, although I would like to stipulate that I do not have a young male "ward" with whom I like to dress up in tight outfits.

    So which Batman character would you be? I don't know the oeuvre very well, so I looked at a list, and I think you'd have to be Mr. Bloom:
    "His goal is to murder everyone in Gotham City to start all over again."
