    By running for President she forfeits any chance of being Trump's VP nominee - she's much too disloyal to him. MTG will be the choice.

    As Trump won't be winning any nomination, Nikki's not giving up anything. In fact, she has put hersef in position as the obvious leading VP candidate -- female, ethnic, and establishing her prominence by being in the race. It's a good move for Nikki.

    Honestly, if it takes turning Donald Trump's head into a cloud of pink mist to stop him from creating a dictatorship in the US, that's fine with me.

    Although interestingly the roots of it are in the GFC and the 2010 "expansionary austerity" delusion from the Cameron government. So vote 'conservative' get wild inequality?

    Basically the UK is still a rich country, its just increasingly few people have the money. Indeed the median pole will soon be wealthier than the median brit.

    I remember that bit of media malpractice. But other things I remember from it was that this family was incredibly off on their milk prices as well.

    I remember that. Didn't they have a lot of children on top of that?

    Found a tweet:


    1.99 for a gallon of milk? I don't remember a gallon of milk for under $2 since the.......2000s? Currently I am not aware you can get a half gallon for under $2

    Those extra 80 cents for my paltry 12 weekly gallons set me down a whooping $40 extra per month!!!!

    Damn you Brandon!!!!

    I am still trying to process that somewhere in the US, there was a gallon of milk for $1.99 in 2021.

    Not going to pile on a family adopting and fostering children. What bothered me the most was CNN presented them as a normal family. A single household of 11 is not near the average family with 1.5 kids. I'm surprised if they didn't buy more in bulk or if their local Costco/Sam's Club was their main store. At some point, it would be more cost-effective to buy a cow even before inflation rose.

    Having said that, I remember distinctly a child tax credit discussion on BigSoccer. I remember because I used those arguments in a Facebook group :p:p:p

    Something else I noticed in that video. Texas must have a much lower cost of living, even with inflation.

    EDIT - The more I think about it, the more it reminds me of people posting on social media the price they were paying at the pump. Ignoring the fact they chose the premium gas and drove a GMC Yukon with a 30+ gallon tank
