Prickly City by Scott Stantis for June 25, 2024

More both siderism from Stantis. Good to see he got the memo, like all MAGAt cartoonists.

“I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. But they’re manufactured tremendous — if you’re into this — tremendous fumes. Gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk about the carbon footprint — fumes are spewing into the air. Right? Spewing. Whether it’s in China, Germany, it’s going into the air. It’s our air, their air, everything — right?”

I bought a BIG jug of Vodka and got some weed, I’m going to listen to trump this week! I know I can do it!

As I was sayin’ yesterday, FALSE EQUIVALENCY ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, you can find some more Stanti editorial pieces that don’t find their way to GC at: facebook dot scott stantis .

I hope Stantis knows much of the recent inflation is caused by corp greed. Checkout the Pepsico’s profit from the last 5 years.

“Gettysburg, what an unbelievable battle that was. It was so much, and so interesting, and so vicious and horrible, and so beautiful in so many different ways—it represented such a big portion of the success of this country. Gettysburg, wow—I go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to look and to watch. And the statement of Robert E. Lee, who’s no longer in favor—did you ever notice it? He’s no longer in favor. ‘Never fight uphill, me boys, never fight uphill.’ They were fighting uphill, he said, ‘Wow, that was a big mistake,’ he lost his great general. ‘Never fight uphill, me boys,’ but it was too late.”

Stantis has decided to jump on the lying bandwagon! Biden is far more clear thinking than is Trump. This debate won’t even be close. Trump will emerge looking senile and spiteful. Yet Stantis chooses to believe Biden has turned down the water pressure in dishwashers!

Inflation is currently around 2%, where Powell wants it. Biden is prone to tall tales to make a good story, what else is new. Trump makes up ludicrous bs to mask incompetence. Speaking of which… in the “flooding the zone” dept, nobody gets a cognitive test if they’re confident you’ll pass.

Every industrialized economy worldwide is suffering from inflation. Most have higher inflation than the USA. Most are not doing as well growth wise. So, President Biden, why aren’t you doing better?Better than …. ???

I was in Russia, back in 92. The Soviet Union had just collapsed and their economy was out of control.

In January 1992 one dollar cost 125 rubles. In February one dollar cost 412 rubles. It just kept going up all year.

In February 1997 it cost nearly 6,000 Russian rubles to buy a single American dollar. It got so bad the Russians “redenominated” their currency and just loped of three zeros and said, “This is what we say it is worth.”

That’s Inflation, right there folks. Bold letters, capital I.

The United States economy is the STRONGEST in the world right now. It is a stabilizing force, helping to hold world trade together.

Does stuff cost more? Yes. But mostly because we are stupid, wasteful consumers and we allow retailers to rip us off. If we got smart and refused to pay their prices, they would go down.

McDonalds charges like $1.30 for a large Coke. Burger King charges almost $3. That’s not inflation, that’s them treating us like the stupid idiots we are.

“inflation”? Biden already has the world wide inflation started by the Saudis at under 3.3% and the lowest in the free world.
