This occurred to me while watching their bullshit press conference.

The press conference would look exactly the same if Karmelo's brother had been actually murdered by a racist white police officer.

I knew they were trying to paint themselves as the victims, but the extent to which they are trying this shit is still honestly mindboggling, and utterly enraging.

The mom crying. The "community advocate" or whatever - the psychotic child-beater - crying racism and bigotry. Also, keep Kyle Rittenhouse's name out of your fucking mouth, you retard. He's been through enough, the circumstances were different, and he actually spent time in jail despite being innocent. I know you have the IQ of a lemon, but these things are not the same, so just shut up.

I swear, this whole family is psychotic, and they further surrounded themselves with additional psychotics.

You. Are. Not. The Victims.

The kid your boy murdered, and his family...they're the victims.

If this fuckstain actually gets off (unlikely, but possible)...I don't even know.

I just returned from the grocery store.

I wanted some cookies to celebrate and it's been a while since I've had oreos, so I decided to take that. First surprise: they sell that shit in small packages now. Forget the huge box with four filled rows of cookies, you are getting some "top-opening" shitty plastic box with two, not even full rows of "cookies."

The price for that junk? $6.29. That's right: six fucking bucks. Plus taxes (15% because fuck you) means it will be $7.25. For some shitty, pre-made, generic cookies. Even to this day, there is a place where I can get a salad+sandwich for that price, taxes included. If I want a bit more, I can hop on some bargain app and get a full large pizza for that price (day old, but still).

I CLEARLY remember when that little packet of cookies came out in 2015. They cost $0.99 on sale. That's right, $1.15 after taxes. Sure, those cookies were not on sale today, but how much are they realistically on sale? 4.99$? $3.99 maybe?

So, what is my point? Well, I read in the news today that inflation in Canada was... 2.3% today. In fact, those people swear to God that inflation since 2015 was only 29% (https://www.bankofcanada.ca/rates/related/inflation-calculator/). That's right: these fuckers say that in the last ten years, prices only went up 29%.

Honestly, I've watched prices go up 29% this year alone. This is despite the price of many commodities (olive oil, coffee beans, etc) plummeting on the market. Did prices go down at the grocery store? No, in fact they went up some more.

I am sick and tired of being lied to in my face. "hurr durr inflation is only 2.3%" yeah 2.3% a month maybe. A fucking 1.54L of orange juice (because we buy orange jugs in 1.54L pack for some reason now) is $7.49. Back in the day, 2L was 2.99$ and maybe less on sale.

Prices of oranges has been plummetting too (down 30% - https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/orange-juice) so why the fuck are the prices so high?

Why the fuck are you trying to tell me prices are only up 2.3% this year? I'm not even talking about houses, gas (floor price is $6 a fallon now for some reason), etc.

Somehow, we are told that inflation is only 2.3%.

I'm so fucking tired of being lied too all the time. Who do they expect will believe this shit? Why are they lying to my face like that and asking me to appreciate it? I can SEE, I can literally SEE that it's not the case. What the fuck, is this one of those 2+2=5 in 1984? I should deny what I see?

Fuck I'm sick of this shithole country
