Summary

Trump recently shared a provocative column on Truth Social titled “Shut Up About Egg Prices — Trump Is Saving Consumers Millions,” written by conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

This comes despite Trump’s campaign promises to reduce grocery costs “immediately” and “on Day 1.” Egg prices have soared to record highs, averaging $4.95/dozen in January and exceeding $10/dozen in some regions, leading to purchase limits and shortages.

While bird flu has significantly impacted prices by killing millions of chickens since 2022, Trump has shifted from his campaign stance, recently telling Fox News “Inflation is back” but claiming “I had nothing to do with it” after just weeks in office.

      The point that they’re making is that it’s a never-ending process to be aware of and guard against, and those who think that they’ve accomplished being “not racist” are often people who actively are racist and don’t see it. Think the liberal speaking over people about their own wants and needs.

      No, I recognize that this will be something we all have to deal with for our lifetimes. Frankly the person who they thinks they have resolved this are frequently the most die hard racists you’ll meet. I think that’s why there’s so many racists on Lemmy

        One thing to keep in mind is that some of us also grew up poor and with extreme neglect and trauma. I actually feel closer to people of color, and immigrants, than I do with my own white Americans. Marginalized people stick together.
