Good news for Americans. “For the second year in a row, the cost of buying Thanksgiving dinner has decreased from the year before, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation’s annual report released Wednesday.”

    Thanks Biden for making things less expensive. “I did that!” Sticker here

    Shame “the eggs” were too expensive and I won’t be able to host it next year

    Thanksgiving dinner may feel less expensive this year Inflation-adjusted cost of Thanksgiving dinner falls to lowest point since 2020.

    Yeah it’s not … ignoring the 30% increase in everything… Thanksgiving is cheaper

      For the moment he had shut his ears to the remoter noises and was listening to the stuff that streamed out of the telescreen. It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be REDUCED to twenty grammes a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.

    “Just cause it’s an election year” /s

    I added the “/s” so it was super apparent I don’t actually think that. I’m merely preparing myself to hear that from at least one member of my family later this week.

        Nope, I’m not ready. Couldn’t even read your tongue-in-cheek reply without rolling my eyes. Going to have to practice a bit more.

      Just cause it’s an election year

      American Farm Bureau Federation’s annual report

      Because the Farm Bureau Federation is definitely part of the federal government and not one of the largest lobbying groups for farmers in the USA and they definitely do not release this report annually. Only in election years.

      Like, who do they think such a report is even benefiting 1. after the election and 2. when it’s from a lobbying group? What’s the logic about it influencing an election year??

      I just can’t anymore. I’m sorry you have to suffer that from family. My condolences
