He's calling on them to fix it! That's practically the same as actually doing something about it!

Stop artificially inflating prices Jack biden-the-thing or else I might have to start an advisory council on how to convince the public this isn't my fault.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago

Don’t fuck around Jack, or you may just find out how strongly worded a letter can be.

Hmmm, Kulaks are witholding product from the market to speculate on it?

for the 2024 campaign season the Biden campaign is making bold promises to tell companies, "hey man, cut it out"

Member when he asked gas companies to quit price jacking via twitter instead of doing anything?

I do

This isn't even the first time he's done this. We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas.

Yup turns put demanding to speak to the manager doesn't look nearly as impressive when you're the manager.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago

Is this real?

Damn, democrats are just the infantilized version of the GOP. How much longer is it going to be where Kamala Harris is going to call us her "frens" in her 2028 campaign?

The White House presents: a discourse about the flow of literal treats

[–] Runcible@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago (1 children)

at least they properly identified the mindset of the people who would respond to this

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I know Biden might not be everything you've hoped for in a candidate but you have to vote for him or else orange Cheeto Drumpf will get the power to send polite letters to corporations.

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago

Why don't they just let shrinkflation take care of the Cheeto? We are about a month away from only getting one Cheeto per bag.

Checkmate, cheeto-man

If Donald Trump is elected President, who will post clap-backs to Cookie Monster?

Leftists! The results of this election will weigh on your heads, mark my words!!!

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What?!? We don't have a "homer sleeping like a baby" emoji? Cause that's how I'm gonna sleep after the first Tuesday in November knowing that I voted for Howie Hawkins, or whoever

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Afroman is the only candidate who will bring showboating back to sports.

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago

This is the change that people are yearning for

For a second I though this was their other time where they told everyone to stop coding in C and to use Rust. I think this is much worse.

[–] fox@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It wasn't even to use Rust. Any garbage collected language also qualified, and really any language where you can't stumble into segfaulting.

[–] BlueMagaChud@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

and they're not going to listen, the point of them posting this is to dismiss the topic entirely

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 1 points 8 months ago
