President Donald Trump promised cheaper groceries when he took office, but two months in, it seems the president is sick of all the complaining. To make his point, the president shared an article from the Daily Caller on Truth Social titled “Shut Up About Egg Prices — Trump Is Saving Consumers” that minimizes concerns about the increasing cost of eggs. The article, written by right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk, concedes that “a dozen currently costs around $7, up from just $2 in October.” However, Kirk contends that inflation during Trump’s presidency isn’t as severe as critics suggest and tells voters to stop whining. “The high price of eggs is in no way President Trump’s fault,” Kirk writes. “Almost all the increase took place during Biden’s final months in office.” The pro-Trump article further defended the president, saying, “Trump is already hard at work to deliver savings for American families.”

why not boycott all major corporations every day? it does require a bit of work, but the more money you spend locally, the better your local communities will be

wait, did he share the triangle or just the Washington post article?

isn't the point of the fediverse to not consolidate?

be aware, everything you say around amazon, apple, alphabet, meta, and any other corporate trash products are being sold, trained on, and sent to your local alphabet agency. it's been this way for a while, but this is a nice reminder to know when to speak and when to listen

"In 2023, the US Supreme Court declared, contrary to established science and object permanence, that water ceases to exist when it goes underground and is therefore no longer subject to meddlesome environmental protections. Frothing lefties like Justice Brett Kavanaugh warned the decision was a recipe for widespread pollution. This week, President Donald Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency agreed … with the Supreme Court.

The EPA’s announcement on Wednesday that it would find the narrowest possible definition of the word “water” for regulatory purposes was just one of dozens of ways it plans to attack environmental protections during Trump’s second term in office. Supposedly meant to spark some sort of “Great American Comeback,” these actions would mainly bring back an era of poisoned skies and waters while hurting the very economy they’re supposed to help."

so a more accurate way of phrasing this would be, "taxes and fees are 400% more than the flight"

see the joke is, in the USA, if you were taught in public schools, you were told the "mitochondria is the power house of the cell" as an analogy. you were told this many times, on repetition

'No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms," the amendment states. Former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama all served two consecutive terms, and thus would be barred from being elected to a third term. But not Trump, who is the first president since Grover Cleveland in 1892 to be elected to a second, non-consecutive term.

“We know that Lola has two children and that her kids drink lots of premium fruit juice. We can see that the price of the SKU she buys has been steadily rising on her local retailer’s shelf. We can also see that Lola’s income has not been keeping pace with inflation. With CoreAI, we can predict that Lola has a high propensity to trade down to private label,” Sadoun says, meaning that the algorithm apprehends whether Lola is likely to start buying a cheaper brand of juice. If the software decides this is the case, the CoreAI algo can automatically start showing Lola ads for those reduced price juice brands, Sadoun says.

Poor Lola. The big problem is that it’s not just Lola that is subjected to this all-encompassing corporate gaze—it is, apparently, almost everybody on the internet.

“Thanks to CoreAI, we can do that with 91 percent of adults all around the world,” the CEO brags. That amounts to nearly four billion people.

Lena Cohen, a technologist with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said that data brokers like Publicis collect “as much information as they can” about web users. “The data broker industry is under-regulated, opaque, and dangerous, because as you saw in the video, brokers have detailed information on billions of people, but we know relatively little about them,” Cohen said. “You don’t know what information a data broker has on you, who they’re selling it to, and what the people who buy your data are doing with it. There’s a real power/knowledge asymmetry.”

no. physical currencies have a more complex formula on a good "cost vs use" ratio. it's usually many years of use to justify spending any amount of resources on a physical currency, otherwise the currency would collapse under its own weight of having to create itself

no good. beyond using a VPN and dnssec, how can end users protect themselves from this?

why not have the parents just not allow them from having a phone? am I missing something that requires an actual phone instead of a computer?

only way I see an option to not is to live similar to Amish lifestyles in the US, but even then, I assume AWS, Meta and Alphabet can make some money off their existence through satellites and IP cameras

I don't disagree with you and not arguing not to be aware of individual actions. it just seems the situation is more dire than just not giving them our money or data

I think we have enough of a parallel society to not engage with whatever decrees this administration makes (within the law, of course, nation state bots scanning this site). I'm not sure what else can be done when the government goes through whiplash like this

here's the good stuff, this is why I come here

so by "deport", does that mean " imprison in another country"?
