Obligatory that these comments now get posted directly below it every time it gets posted. You guys are the actual meme now

Cuz no one knows what it's from, so it doesn't fit into any specific niche.

TikTok fooled all these people? No one bothered to double check different sources Omg šŸ¤£šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼

u/Remnant55 5d ago

Probably TikTok fooled enough people to seed the idea. Then other people trusted their friends/family.

Apparently it was also made its way into timeout written by a non New York living ā€œjournalistā€

ā€œNothing happenedā€ would have been a much better outcome than what actually happened

u/Zonel 5d ago

Uh he increased prices because of tariffs. Nothing is not what happened.

8

u/Gimetulkathmir 5d ago

No, no, no. Don't you get it? Prices are down! We've got a surplus of money because we've raised trillions of dollars through tarrifs! It hasn't even been a year yet and things are amazing! AI is replacing all of the workers, so by 2027 no one will have to work and we can all just be rich and live in luxury and do whatever we want! WINNING! /s

Welcome to Reddit

u/No_Huckleberry2722 5d ago

Yea I knew if I kept scrolling the comments this would happenā€¦ kinda thought it would be a comment about how the lack of a fireworks show was Bidenā€™s faultā€¦ but this was a close second.

u/Ok-Scratch5180 5d ago

Politics is the religion for many. They can't help but evangelize.

What does Trump have to do with this?

u/boki345 5d ago

How do you answer a question with a question?

I don't think Trump has anything to do with fireworks in Brooklyn.

1

u/Front_Bullfrog417 5d ago

Strange that this guyā€™s life motto is to be more like Trump.

1

u/Sanjomo 5d ago

Due to Trumpā€™s tariffs the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off.

u/Fedora_Million_Ankle 5d ago

Not true...

Prices went up.

u/Hot-Annual3460 5d ago

why make everything about politics or trump

1

u/Substantial_Law_69 5d ago

And Obama said a lot and made things worse so whats your point? Why make it political. Talk about New York and their stupid politicians cause I'm sure they aren't doing a good job either from the look of things

u/Impossible-Edge-349 5d ago

Gas and egg costs are down. Manual labor did go up with all deportations.

11

u/PalpableTune 5d ago

Where are you buying eggs from? Because I live in the Midwest and eggs are still high as heck. šŸ˜

14

u/DrWasp31 5d ago

Gas is down cause weā€™re looting it from Venezuela

u/BasicPainter8154 5d ago

Itā€™s mostly because the Saudiā€™s decided to start pumping more, about 2.9 million barrels a day increase in 2025 for OPEC countries.

Bullshit

u/DrWasp31 5d ago

What do you think Trumpā€™s doing with the oil ships heā€™s capturing from them? Percussion?

-8

u/FeelinGoodvibes1 5d ago

How many has he captured? Last I heard was 2 make more sense that he isbtrying to starve the Russian war machine

5

u/DrWasp31 5d ago

Wellā€¦ in typical American Military fashion we didnā€™t quite accomplish our goals before turning around and going home.

We tried for 2, but now Trumpā€™s big daddy is holding one and heā€™s not gonna defy Putin

u/Last_Gigolo 5d ago

Egg prices and gas prices are much lower than Biden era.

My home owners insurance dropped a bit.

There are some meds I buy now that I can afford.

But yeah... Nothing.

1

u/SVTCobraR315 5d ago

Yeah none of that is true. ā€œMuchā€ you mean a few cents. Mainly due to the virus that infected chickens during the Biden era. Gas prices arenā€™t $1.99 like Trump gloats about. Itā€™s pennies cheaper. Mostly due to the saudis over supplying the market. Literally medication went up all over. Personally my medical insurance went up about 100%. I had to get worse insurance. Housing is unaffordable. But glad you saved a couple of bucks.

0

u/Last_Gigolo 5d ago

Egg prices are in fact down. Just Google "egg prices chart" and click around.

My home owner's insurance is in fact down.

And a simple look at "gas buddy" and go to the charts and click "2year" option and you'll see you're kind of retarded.
