These people donāt do their own shopping. Anything they say about groceries is most likely wrong. Fucking hell Trump didnāt even know the word groceries until a while back.
I mean, it was hilarious when Poppy was amazed by grocery scanners, but donnie going on about the word āgroceriesā, sounding like an alien in a skin suit is 1000x that.
I honestly wish they would take Trump into a supermarket to buy stuff. Or maybe use the self-checkout. That would be some amazing comedy show.
āItās all computer!āāEverythingās computer!ā
Close, itās āEverythingās computer!ā You can check the White House Auto Mall commercial.
Oh, right! Haha, love that.
It could only good happen
āWhereās the hamberder aisle?ā
These people are so completely out of touch itās painful.
Anybody that wants to be president should go through a mandatory 6 month immersion course where they have to live on 40k a year in middle America. Donāt even make it difficult where theyād also have to support a spouse and two kids on that income. Oh, and make them work a retail job thatās at least 30 min from home. And they have to drive a 15 year old American car as well. Heck turn it into a reality tv show. Call it something like āReally Presidentialā or āThe Real Candidates of DCā
40K in middle America is probably much easier because cost of living is cheaper. Iām assuming you mean living in literally the middle of the US like Kentucky or something? Middle America is technically Mexico and Central America.
40K in NYC, SF, Chicago, etc would probably be a better learning experience than 40K in Kentucky.
Thatād be the best part of this show. Weāve all lived on less. Letās watch them have it mediocre and absolutely struggle and drown
I was thinking somewhere like rural NC but yes middle of the US.
Iād be down to watch this. Give RFK a 1br apartment on the sketchy side of town, an old Toyota Camry where the CEL wonāt turn off (but youāre sure itās just an O2 sensor, ignore it for now), and a job 40 minutes away where youāre pretty sure theyāre not gonna fire you but youāre definitely not getting a pay raise any time soon. For extra fun, letās throw $40k worth of student loans on there.
I wonder how even the ones that grew up in something like this, like JD Vance, would be able to cope.
Beautiful word though isnāt it? Groceries. Everything that you eat
I do my own shopping and I have no idea how much things like butter or milk cost. I know they donāt cost enough to affect how much I spend on food overall but how much exactly? No idea. Maybe itās 1ā¬, maybe itās 3ā¬ š¤· With most things I look at the price and if itās not something crazy I buy it and forget about it.
FUCK OPRAH!
She has unleashed untold evils on society. From ādoctorā Phil, to John of God, she sells evil wrapped up in a package that housewives just canāt resist.
Like that time she unleashed all those bees?
If only sheād released a native swarm!
Exactly. Except the bees ruined an entire generation.
Yeah I immediately thought of this LOL, thanks.

Part of me wishes he would have won. Then the dnc could have someone else run to replace him instead of being stuck with fetterman.

To clarify weāre āstuck with Fettermanā because a Senate term is 6 years and weāre at about 4 years. A 2/3rds vote by the Senate could remove him, but that hasnāt actually happened successfully since the Civil War and heās not in enough hot water to force him to resign.
It would shock me if he got the nomination in 2028, but stupid is trend at the moment.
Not to give this admin any credit, but he isnāt wrong. He said $1 per stick, not per pound. I can get a Kroger 4 stick pack for $3.49 at my local store.
But he was holding a PACK of butter as his example
This is honestly a nothingburger gotcha. Heās actively lying about the cost of living, and Iām glad that someone at Fox has the courage to call him out on it, but this is a confusing and easily-explained-away example; āhe was just holding up the pack to demonstrate what he was talking about, obviously he meant a stick!ā They should do the price of gas instead.
OK? I just read the quote in the article and the words he said was true. Iām certain that Oz is an out of touch rich asshole, but the statement he mad was correct. If I were to venture a guess, he was probably parroting some PR goon that made the comment about the price per stick and then the out of touch loser called a whole pack a stick. Regardless though, the price per stick comment was correct enough and even if it werenāt I donāt really care.
There are so so many things that this administration says and does that are asinine at best, blatantly evil at worse. Shit like this is a distraction and a non-issue. Who gives a fuck if he said butter was 1 cent a stick. Heās a rich prick. I donāt expect him to know a fucking thing about grocery prices. Iām more concerned with his policies as the head of CMS and how they will fuck over those on medicaid and medicare.
ālook at this out of touch entitled loserā
āguys why are you criticizing this out of touch entitled loser and also I admit your specific criticism is correctā
Being an entitled out of touch loser does not mean that every utterance from his lips is factually incorrect. And it is really fucking stupid to project meaning onto someone you donāt like to turn a factually correct statement into an incorrect one out of your hatred of the person. Especially when we are talking about the head of CMSās comment on the price of fucking butter like that is even remotely relevant. What is stupid here is that they were even discussing prices in this interview like Oz has anything at all to do with it.
It was and you admitted it lmao.
it was
What was
and you admitted it
Admitted what?
Your communication skills need some work. I suspect your reading comprehension needs some work too if you think I āadmittedā to something.
Correct, thatās why it should be called out though. Presenting one thing, then calling it another is lying. Good on the reporter for calling out the bullshit.
And here we are cheering on Laura Ingaraham for her journalistic integrityā¦
I think itās a little naive to exclude body language when analyzing someoneās language. The latter half of your comment is true though.
The truth, or proven facts, have nothing to do with body language or micro expressions. 2 + 2 = 4 no matter how big your smirk or how questionable your posture is. We all like to think we can read people like Sherlock Holmes or Sigmund Freud but that doesnāt make us right in our assessment.
That doesnāt really have anything to do with what I was saying; they were making motions explicitly intended to communicate in concert with their speech.
Yeah, I buy good butter and itās less than a dollar fifty per stick.
If I just need butter in something with a lot of bigger flavors, Iāll use the cheaper stuff. If Iām making a grilled cheese, toast, frying an egg, etc. where Iām gonna taste the butter, I usually use kerrygold. I try to buy it in bulk when it is on sale, though. It is considerably more expensive.
I wonder if he puts butter on his crudite?
A stick in a box like that is about a dollar but the box contains 4 sticks, what an idiot.
I mean, he did say a stick of butter is about a buck. A pound (4 sticks) is a little under $4 for me. So yeah, that checks out. Yeah, you almost always have to buy 4 sticks at a time but that also means you donāt have to buy 4x as often (and butter keeps plenty long in the fridge).
I feel dirty for defending Oz, but this is pretty dumb to get worked up over. The dumbest part is using a unit thatās common for use, but not for purchase. Whichā¦ Meh.
The video in the article shows him pointing to the unopened box/pound and saying āthis stickā.
If weāre going to look at things with a microscope, I didnāt hear āthisā stick of butter. Iām sure a box shows up better on camera
I mean, he did say a stick of butter is about a buck
No he didnāt. He just said ābutter is a dollarā. He never specified āstickā
He did but not in the way the other user implies. The video in the article shows him pointing to the unopened box/pound and saying āthis stickā.
Just before he said āstick of butterā
But just after Laura Ingram called him out
Not watching the video right now, but the quote in the article is
āStick of butter, bag of peanuts. Butter in America, itās about a buck [for] a stick like this.ā
Sorry youāre having trouble. But Iām blocking you for the same reason I blocked the last guy.
Lol mkay. Bye.
ā¦no? He said āstick of butter, bag of peanuts. Butter is about a buckā and then Laura said something
Except butter is for box because you donāt buy just a single stick. He said āstick of butter in a bag of peanutsā, which isnāt a adult.
Now youāre just cherry picking, because you refused to admit youāre wrong, and I donāt have time to waste on people like you.
Blocked
iāve got one pound left in the freezer of what i got the last time it was āon saleā for 99c/lbāalmost two years ago, i thinkā¦ it had been a very long time since it was that low, and i stocked up a lil bit. this is the midwest, where thereās lots of cows. low dairy prices used to be quite common.
OK Oz, hereās lesson #1 for ya. Nothing costs a buck.
I just made butter at home from heavy whipping cream. Itās so easy and cheap, Iām never buying butter again.
Is the quantity of heavy whipping cream to make a stick of butter less expensive than buying the butter itself? Iām intrigued now and might try this myself. Does it spoil faster or anything?
If you are buying premium butter and you use the byproduct (buttermilk) then it may be close to break even. But yes it does spoil faster
$6 of heavy whipping cream makes about $8-$12 of butter depending on if youāre buying cheap butter or expensive butter.
You also end up with a lot of buttermilk which I hate buying because I never use it all.
DIY Butter doesnāt spoil any faster and can be frozen.
It also just tastes a lot better.
Thank you so much. Youāve inspired me - Iām going to give it a try this weekend. I already make my own bread, so this will be a fun addition.
I used a whipping attachment on my food processor. I havenāt tried more manual methods since Iām lazy.
Just here to say Iām also going to do this! Didnāt really ever think to.
Make soda bread with it, itās delicious
sodaā¦bread?
Like this: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/16947/amazingly-easy-irish-soda-bread/
Uses a good amount of buttermilk
What Is Irish Soda Bread?
Irish soda bread is a type of quick bread that relies on baking soda, not yeast, to rise. The bread contains buttermilk, which contains lactic acid. The acid reacts with the baking soda to create air bubbles, resulting in a perfectly risen dough.
Soda bread became incredibly common during the Irish Potato Famine, as you can make it with only four ingredients: flour, salt, an acid, and baking soda.
TIL, thanks
What about the gums in the heavy whipping cream? Every package heavy cream I can find at the grocery store contains some kind of gum, even the nicer ones. This doesnāt impact the butter?
Good question. I havenāt noticed any issue.
That estimate seems a bit high TBH. A quart of heavy cream will net you less than a pound of butter on average.
The real crazy part about this is that butter is actually at like an all time low right now. The protein craze has made a great big market for wey protein wich used to just be a byproduct of making butter. So now thereās a bunch of butter back stock which should lower the prices drastically.
He might not like it but his dog sure doesšš¤£š š
Thatās butt, not butter.
Butter is less than a dollar per stick though
Canāt see the site but this is Walmart, meaning that butter is probably like 20% polypropolene
He held out a pack of butter. Then said a stick like this. So he was being dishonest or stupid. But he indicated the thing he was holding was a dollar. What you just linked was $3.
