retail prices too. i recently saw a clip from fox youtube "prices aren't going up". costco did a good job during trump mismanagement of covid leading to much higher prices. but in the last 4 months near everything at costco has gone up 30% to 100%. jeans not long ago were $9 recently up to $19

doug u should explain "America's stupidity" is a group of GOP well funded (billion$) by corporations pushing this fossil fuel agenda, conspiracies to the low educated maga followers. i'd guess 80% of Americans favor clean energy policy. the GOP would die off if the corps stopped funding them

Chavez won twice verified by Carter Center. Chavez rightly calls Bush the devil for murdering a million Iraqis. Chavez has 3 CIA coups, US gov/media call for removal/death, sanctions spread poverty, then dies of cancer. Maduro wins as US/cia/media try to remove him. Chavez threw out Foreign Corps.

TOSsnitch @tossnitch.bsky.social · Aug 4

why has no media questioned and directly asked trump "you r telling corps to invest in america with these tariffs. why are you investing 3 billion in vietnam, 5 billion in UAE... why r u giving communists and slave dictatorships jobs and not americans? " www.newsweek.com/full-list-tr...

some major "news" recently said "prices are stable but could go up because of tariffs". was that AI generated from russia? costco mostly held the line on prices during GOP induced covid mismanagement. since march 2025 nearly everything has gone up 5-20%. how can this reality be hidden by corp media?

for those of u who watch IRL streaming, i noticed 15 years ago the #1 most common "merch" i saw was NASA, more than COKE. NASA by far "was" USA's #1 goodwill representative, top scientists... to no only Americans but the world which GOP taking corporate campaign donos have want to kill NASA.

NASA was almost shuttered under W Bush (who lost popular vote and lost electoral college). it's always been the GOP plan to kill NASA and turn all functions over to corporations (who fund the GOP).
