A funny (see: sad and disappointing but not surprising ) part but not certainly the only funny part:

Boebert said she was “extremely disappointed in the bias” of reporter Ryan Warner’s questions about a third of the way through the interview, and she later battled with him over climate change and water, saying “there’s certainly a reason” she doesn’t “listen to CPR news.”

    I used to work at a grocery store. I knew the prices of pretty much everything because I would ring everything up and do corrections at customer service. Prices are absolutely still way higher than pre pandemic. I’d say 30% more at least, with some items in particular having doubled.

    That has nothing to do with democrats though. Supply shock in Covid, bird flu for eggs in particular and then straight up greed / monopolistic grocery stores are the reasons we’re seeing higher prices. The Republicans will do absolutely nothing to fix these issues, but use high grocery prices as a dog whistle to rile up their base who are too uninformed about how anything works, and just eat that shit up. You can listen to any earnings call to hear these chucklefucks gloat about how they are working to find price (figuring out just how much they can squeeze out of people) while also having record earnings.
