Cookie Monster is beefing with Fozzy Bear over Joe Biden's sh*tty economy. Welcome to politics in 2024! Where someone dropping X on behalf of a Muppet has created it's own news cycle. Whether or not the X-Twitter post was part of Biden's PR push for Thursday's State of the Union address, let's see how you feel when we get to end this story.

At issue is "shrinkflation," Biden's latest excuse for why everything is more expensive other than his policies making them that way. "Shrinkflation" is where companies, to stay competitive and not raise prices when every level of production is made more expensive, will sometimes make things smaller to keep the sale price the same. Every level of production is more expensive due to Biden's policies.

LWC Next Gen Stats: Bidenomics

20.5% more for food at home

24% more for eggs

16.7% more for milk

18.5% more for housing

36.2% in credit card debt

MINUS 7.5% in disposable income.

Biden plans to mention "shrinkflation" when he isn't being a divisive prick during Thursday's speech. In what I'm sure is a totally unrelated note, Cookie Monster is feeling the pinch of shrinkflation too.

I'd like to chalk this up to a social media associate thinking they were being funny over something they saw on X-Twitter. Then I remember that social media is full of Leftist twats -- yes, even out on these Seasame Streets -- who think all platforms everywhere should be used to promote the progressive agenda. It looks a little bit too coordinated with the White House and the media (but I repeat myself).

One person not amused, outside of the tens of millions of Americans rolling their eyes as they see their childhood get politicized, is Frank Oz. The voice of Yoda and Fozzy thought it was gross, and could think of one other person who would agree with him. Jim Henson.

I will say this about shrinkflation. I wouldn't dismiss Biden's focus on this and "junk fees" completely. They ARE issues affecting American budgets and bank accounts. The fact that Democrats are going all in on it means they have polling data that tells them it's a winning issue. Like in 2022 when they campaigned on student loans, and the GOP wound up underperforming because (among other things) the number of young voters who turned out to the polls.

While campaigning on poll numbers and how unfair a politcian's life is might appeal to a niche political base, the bulk of Americans are concerned about how unfair THEIR life is.

We shouldn't dismiss the issue outright. But we need to point out how it's bullsh*t and Joe Biden is to blame for all the [solve for x]flations he wants to complain about. Items are "shrinking" because Biden policies have made it more expensive to make them at every point of production. Ingredients, energy to run the machines, fuel to deliver them to the stores, etc.]

It just looks like we have to find a way to do it with puppets.
