Summary

Vice President JD Vance claimed that Donald Trump’s policies will lower grocery prices, but he failed to provide details.

Instead, Vance emphasized vague goals like increasing capital investment and job creation.

Meanwhile, Trump’s recent tariff threats, including a 25% increase on Colombian coffee imports, have driven coffee prices higher, exacerbating grocery costs.

Critics note Trump’s shifting narrative, as he now admits it is “hard to bring things down once they’re up.”

Supporters, however, downplayed price hikes, suggesting cheaper alternatives like instant coffee.

    do you vote for “your increase in suffering has slowed” or “these policies will speed up your increase in suffering”?

    I voted for Harris. Her messaging was still dogshit on this issue. She was acting like the problem was fixed when it wasn’t.

        Oh cool. I have a stalker. I thought I left this sort of unhinged shit behind when I left reddit.

          So, let me explain something to you as I’ve seen you accuse people of this a lot and I think maybe you’re having a little trouble understanding how things work:

          If someone interacts with you in the comments of a post, and then respond to you in that same post later or… even in a different comment section in a different post altogether….

          That’s not stalking. That’s just interacting with people in a social media setting. And considering how often you post your rage-induced genocide accusations, if we go by your interpretation of the word, you’d have to pretty much accuse the entirely of lemmy of stalking.
