    When there are so many very legitimate reasons to make fun of these people, I think we’re getting a little nit-picky here. I know, the fact that he says it while standing in front of eggs priced $2.99 is low hanging fruit, but I just bought eggs yesterday at the cheapest store in our city and they were $3.76, so he’s not actually far off the mark.

    I think the more important thing would be to find out if egg prices are suddenly being artificially inflated by poultry farmers in an attempt to influence the election. If so, smack those fuckers down hard post-election.

      Agreed. Someone also made this little graphic to demonstrate how nit-picky it is. The discussion in this thread is also about how we should be critiquing his claims about why egg prices are the way they are.

      Because the “regular” grocery store he’s standing in is clearly selling them for less than that?

      Seems like a pretty roastable unforced error to me.

      (Also I know not everyone has options around them, but traditional grocers still tend to be cheaper on most grocery items than Walmart or Target, there is in fact a cost to the one stop shop)

    That’s a painfully bad headline.

    We have white house candidates talking about egg prices? Come the fuck on Michael, what could they cost, $12? Like I supposed to believe JD Vance has stepped inside a grocery store AND had to tally the prices in his head?

    I want a new season of schitts creek I feel like this dumbass would be a great villain for their little podunk town, maybe he is buildimg a Walmart! Yeah he looks and sounds perfect for that role. He’s gonna make us do a cheer every shift. Someone pants Vance. Make him the joke he is.

    Hi fbi it’s me Stan, just a joke, on a rhyme, call me if ur concerned, bro

      I mean the video was filmed inside a grocery store, claiming that eggs cost $4 with a sign directly behind him saying 2.99/24.

      So yes, he’s stepped in a grocery store- at least once. but I’m pretty sure that actually makes this worse.

    Just like… why the fuck would you even bother lying when you could just say the truth and it proves the point you’re trying to make anyway? What a fucking moron.

      No matter how many men you put in front of standing desks, or how fancy an AI you give them, they can’t make an egg. Clearly should be many millions per egg.

      The negative space between the eggs around his head in this image makes him look like he has pigtails. Saw it and had to punish/reward everyone else with it, too.

          I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here, and please forgive me if I’m misunderstanding, but that reads to me like you’re trying to insult Vance by suggesting he’s Jewish. Would you mind clarifying?

        A trillion here, a trillion there, pretty soon you’re talking about the kind of money his backers hope to loot

          What’s a trillion?

          Edit: /s. Though this might give some people an idea of how insane even a billion is.
