"No no -- the egg thing was for getting rid of Biden, we're done talking about that now" -- The Trump Admin, probably.

Sixty percent of Americans living paycheck to paycheck and this twat is building a gaudy af stupid ballroom

Now that's the kind of sensible spending that people voted for

My grocery bill is much higher than pre-pandemic. I don’t even notice the egg prices.

Called the White House State Ballroom, the addition will be approximately 90,000 total square feet, which is significantly larger than the 55,000-square-foot White House as it stands now.

The ballroom will be bigger than the entire White House by ~35,000 square feet.

Room for infinite number of Big Macs and large fries.

The supplier that supplies eggs for Aldi was found price manipulating and abusing chickens. Meanwhile local farmers were selling much better tasting eggs where you could see the chickens out in the fields happily foraging and unafraid of humans AND for lower prices.

never gets old

Release the Epstein files!

Choppy chop!

650 people... adults or childs?

Oh look. Epstein distractions.

Whenever a Republican pretends to care about the national debt, they're lying.

I seem to recall that the White House is considered a historic building, and renovations need to be approved by Congress. It's actually been a problem, because there's a lot of wiring and plumbing issues that need to be addressed. Was this somewhere in the Big Murder Bill?

Oh, right, I forgot about what Administration we're dealing with. Of course he's going ahead with it.

This is the right meme for the class war.

I know the federal reserve renovations were more expensive but it just feels like more hypocracy from this administration. No money to renovate a building that needs it, but gosh darn, we really need to spend hundreds of millions on a ballroom to be able to host better parties. And I have no doubt it's going to cost more than budgeted.

Adjudicated rapist, inmate #P01135809, formerly known as the former presidential placeholder but who is now currently known as the current presidential placeholder says: "Shut up about egg prices."

The plebs will dine on the happiness of the elite and have full bellies.

Congrats Americans!

200 millions dollars for a fucking ballroom??? Is it made of gold? Ok, it's Trump so with his shitty tastes, yeah it probably is at least plated...

What isn't?

This country never recovered from the 2008 crash. Each new "correction" as econ nerds put it has just compounded the damage done back then and added more. It isn't going to get any better.

I saw the title of the post and said, "oh bullshit" but then went to walmart dot com and yeah, actually they are twice the price they were in 2019.

Prices in Canada and Mexico didn't increase anywhere near this much even at the height of the pandemic.

Maybe Bird Flu is refusing to cross international borders. Or maybe U.S. monopolies no longer need to even pretend to compete and the producers are raking in record profits.

90,000 square feet for 650 people? how big are these people? /s

You think prices will go down once they go up?

So are house values
