    These people don’t do their own shopping. Anything they say about groceries is most likely wrong. Fucking hell Trump didn’t even know the word groceries until a while back.

    Not to give this admin any credit, but he isn’t wrong. He said $1 per stick, not per pound. I can get a Kroger 4 stick pack for $3.49 at my local store.

        OK? I just read the quote in the article and the words he said was true. I’m certain that Oz is an out of touch rich asshole, but the statement he mad was correct. If I were to venture a guess, he was probably parroting some PR goon that made the comment about the price per stick and then the out of touch loser called a whole pack a stick. Regardless though, the price per stick comment was correct enough and even if it weren’t I don’t really care.

        There are so so many things that this administration says and does that are asinine at best, blatantly evil at worse. Shit like this is a distraction and a non-issue. Who gives a fuck if he said butter was 1 cent a stick. He’s a rich prick. I don’t expect him to know a fucking thing about grocery prices. I’m more concerned with his policies as the head of CMS and how they will fuck over those on medicaid and medicare.

      I mean, he did say a stick of butter is about a buck. A pound (4 sticks) is a little under $4 for me. So yeah, that checks out. Yeah, you almost always have to buy 4 sticks at a time but that also means you don’t have to buy 4x as often (and butter keeps plenty long in the fridge).

      I feel dirty for defending Oz, but this is pretty dumb to get worked up over. The dumbest part is using a unit that’s common for use, but not for purchase. Which… Meh.

      Can’t see the site but this is Walmart, meaning that butter is probably like 20% polypropolene
