“President Donald Trump ran on promises to cut energy prices “in half” within his first year in office. But according to a report released Wednesday, he’s done the exact opposite, and it’s expected to get much worse as oil prices soar from his war with Iran.

“Electricity prices increased more than twice as fast as overall inflation in 2025, according to a fact sheet by the Groundwork Collaborative.”

    He’s done exactly that for his corporate donors. I don’t think people have realized that when Trump talks he’s not talking to the general population, he’s talking to his corporate overlords.

      Yeah he doesn’t see average people as people, he sees them as something lower to be exploited by the wealthy and powerful. Just like his buddy (the formerly known as Prince) Andrew.

      For them rape and abuse is about control and power, not sex necessarily.

      If you openly don’t like ai here and any mods of ai communities find out they will ban you from whatever shit mountain they hold power on. Even if you have never interacted with a single post. You can still manually add their community to your block list. For some stupid reason being banned makes the block community button go away. It is bad design but it still could be worse. Imagine a feed full of bullshit communities that you have to see but can’t participate in or make go away.

      I didn’t know this until some genius told me how to do it. I tried to block them all before getting banned but there is a lot of them out there. It takes no effort to make a community based on no effort posts. Apparently any effort is spent banning contrarians.

      If they could make the block community button still appear for banned communities that would be great. At least there is a solution in the meantime.

    I just recently saw that little Keebler Elf, the Squeaker of the House meekly repeat that bullshit line they were using in his first term and it was laughable back then.

    He actually said “promises made, promises kept”.

    🤣

    Really? Dimbulb donnie was promising to raise the price of everything and start a useless war in the middle east?

    Trump promised to lower energy prices [fill in the blank] for Americans. He did exactly the opposite.

    The media ignores it. And his followers will still tell you, energy has never been this cheap.

    He’s not done yet. Wait until the petro shortages hit us. It’s gonna make the covid shutdown look like a walk in the park.
