The bellends own words “… replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes”. There is tragedy that we need social media to call out his misleading the public.
How long before this and similar sites for rational and civilised discours are “banned” in the US.?

Oddly, bananas seem to be one of the few items relatively untouched by inflation.
And it makes sense that the US is turning into a Banana Republic itself, considering the Banana Republics were a result of American corporations and the US government using their power to undermine democracy in those countries.
From wikipedia:
A banana republic is a country with an economy of state capitalism, where the country is operated as a private commercial enterprise for the exclusive profit of the ruling class. Typically, a banana republic has a society of extremely stratified social classes, usually a large impoverished working class and a ruling class plutocracy, composed of the business, political, and military elites.The ruling class controls the primary sector of the economy by exploiting labor.
Sounds pretty familiar
How it happened in Guatemala:
During the 1950s, the United Fruit Company sought to convince the governments of U.S. presidents Harry S. Truman (1945–1953) and Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953–1961) that the popular, elected government of President Jacobo Árbenz of Guatemala was secretly pro-Soviet for having expropriated unused “fruit company lands” to landless peasants. In the Cold War (1945–1991) context of the proactive anti-communist politics exemplified by U.S. senator Joseph McCarthy in the years 1947–1957, geo-political concerns about the security of the Western Hemisphere facilitated Eisenhower’s ordering and authorising Operation Success. It was a 1954 Guatemalan coup d’état by means of which the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency deposed the democratically elected government of Árbenz and installed the pro-business government of Colonel Carlos Castillo Armas (1954–1957), which lasted for three years until his assassination by a presidential guard.[2][19]

Ah that chronic brain worm hasn’t gone away… It is super handy to have a general purpose all-evil evidence-free adversary to blame everything on.
They’ve gone up quite a bit in my corner of the US. They used to be 30 cents a pound and now they’re 53 cents per pound for the same product at the same store in the last few months.
Hm, you’re right, they’re 69 Canada cents/lbs and they used to be half that. I only buy two at a time so like I don’t notice. They’re still affordable in absolute terms, right?
Oh absolutely. I forget which government subsidizes it but they should be a lot more expensive considering the trip and handling required.
Saw this coming when he decided to eliminate bad weather by not reporting it.
And eliminate COVID-19 by not reporting it.
And when he tried to eliminate the Epstein story by having him killed
You hear about him getting rid of the NTSB because it made his military and FAA look bad.
I might be a traveler from thr future, only time will tell.
It’s crazy how close to full on authoritarianism the US has become in only 7 months.
Stay tuned. It’s going to get much worse before the American people actually do something about it.
Trumps approval rating is in the low 40s. Almost half this country are cheering it on.
Even then I doubt Americans will do much. We’re not a smart bunch.
It’s not all that crazy since they had a carefully designed scheme all planned out in Project 2025. People acted like that was some kind of conspiracy theory, but they literally printed it up. 🤬
republicans are dumber than dogshit, I swear.
it’s not dumb, it’s just textbook fascism, this is straight out of Mussolini’s playbook
By firing him, trump ironically directly decreased the number of employment
… but they’re gonna need to get 2 jobs to make up the money for whatever they were doing for “the government”, so net positive jobs!!! <<insert head pointing meme>>

Go see The Naked Gun. It’ll at least have you laughing at something meant to be funny!
Sorry to disappoint but that name is already taken. Lithuania is banana republic.
