It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

We did it. The price of food went from "not cheap" to "holy shit" and its still at "holy shit". We won.

Now everybody needs to stop asking for those fucking raises.

A chicken burrito at Taco Johns costs 7 fucking dollars.

i saw the smallest boxes of the same type of cereal i used to eat as a kid at the grocery store today. $3.99 for a 7.9 oz box of count chocula which was on sale. Pretty sure when I was a kid the boxes were at least twice that size, probably more, and were cheaper by at least $1

I'm just glad we didn't give everybody raises. These economists clearly were right when they said if everybody got a raise inflation would be insane.

Instead we just had massive inflation at the same wages so everybody is fucked.

It's still wild here in Europe too, cooking oil went from 2 to 6 dollars for a liter and only went down to like 5 recently. I haven't deep fried a single goddman thing in 3 years
