My link does say $5.19 you f@cking moron.  The browser must be detecting your location at your mom's trailer, realizing she and you are poor, dumb f@cking Democrats and reducing the price.

The point is those same eggs were $2.19 NOT on sale a year ago. 

I shouldn't have to buy the other eggs.  Seriously, WTF is your problem?  Are you really that f@cking stupid?

What location do you go to?

Sure, and you are right about this.  

Where these conversations usually go is either down the pissing match hole about the exact detail of something instead of the general concept (e.g. arguing about if it's 4.59 or 5.19 instead of agreeing the price jumped up a lot), or the confusion (and this is usually what happens on my end) that I'm not arguing it's happening or it hurts people, but usually it's more I'm just pushing back that ALL your life's troubles are because of evil libs, immigrants, whatever.  Which of course "proves" that the person doing that is some flaming leftist, or as you love to claim - bowing down to the DNC masters.

Somebody was saying that Best Buy was starting to charge 10cents/bag at the store nearby.

If you need a bag at Best Buy you deserve to pay extra.

What do you need a bag for at Best Buy that you can't carry?  

Does BJs and Costco give out bags? You need one there before best buy

Best buy is not out of business.  They may have closed your local store but they're doing fine.  We have two best buys within 10 miles of each other here in NJ

About the only time I go there is for the holidays- I had quite a few things, from games to movies to headphones.   I guess sorry I used a bag going to my car? 

No, Costco doesn't and it's about the only thing I hate about the store.  I also am typically using a cart to take stuff to the car and/OR I also ask for a box to put most of the small stuff in.   Different scenarios.  

People will argue about anything on these boards.  I just thought it was funny they started doing that.

I got a 65 inch TV there like a month ago.  I was pissed they didnt have a bag for it

Back to the main issue of this thread: Joe Biden’s being ripped by the left for reimposing some Trump era restrictions. He’s being ripped by the right for not doing enough, for a hypocritical show at the border. 

Both criticisms are apt IMO. In truth Biden has done a terrible job handling this issue. But his main dilemma is that we need a comprehensive solution and we’re too divided as a country to achieve one.

People who exploit illegal immigration want the pipeline to cheap labor to keep flowing purely for personal gain.

I gotta give it to ya, that's an incredible take.

Did you ask?  Maybe they have a huge bag for you, they just charge $10 for those.

An immigration official in Quebec has said it is "surprising" that New York authorities are sending migrants to Canada's border.

Quebec immigration minister Christine Fréchette made the comment after the New York Post reported that National Guards are handing out free bus tickets for migrants to travel to Plattsburgh, in the north of New York state.

From there, migrants hire cabs to take them on the 30-mile trip to cross the Canadian border via Roxham Road, the Post reported.

"If they are seeking to go somewhere else, we are helping in the re-ticketing process," New York City Mayor Eric Adams told Fox 5.

So…..then…..NYC is giving them tickets to go elsewhere?

Isn’t this just a “political stunt” and “racist”?

It’s certainly a stunt. And it’s an awful decision. 
 

Is it racist as well? I dunno. Could very well be.

It's ok if Democrats do it... not ok if Republican's do it.  You should know that by now.

Democrats will denounce Abbott and DeSantis and call them racists/xenophobic, and shout from the tallest buildings say "why people still vote for these people".  BUT, when liberals do it, they say "It's not right", but don't call them racists or xenophobic and have no problem voting for them.  Then, they come back and say, "yeah, I said it was wrong".  LOL

I do.  As long as those people want to be there.  NYC is a sanctuary city after all.  They voted for it, they should have to pay for it.

Well they’re not. And the feds aren’t helping. They can’t, then it acknowledges how focked up things are at the border. It wasn’t like this until Biden invited everyone over.

Yes. And I’ve dismissed the concern, because the USA is not a lifeboat. There is plenty of room and always will be.

What about now? Cities have bills to pay and budgets to meet. NYC isn’t the federal government.  They can’t just go into deficit. You’re not very aware of how things work it seems. It’s all pie in the sky bullshit with you.

Well the feds ain’t paying. Perhaps Biden should have secured the funding before inviting them here? You know, the president doesn’t just get to give money out. Congress has to approve it. So now NYC gets to foot the bill. Fock em, right?

I do not share your optimism. I believe that this move on the part of the Democrats is just another strike at the AA community.
