Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I've never liked this expression because your eyes do lie to you so often. It's the whole reason optical illusions exist.
This is not an optical illusion.

Why would anyone ever believe the man who has never been grocery shopping in his life? Does anyone really think that Donny 2 Inches actually knows the price of a bottle of milk or a loaf of bread?
$6.25 for 2 big jugs of milk at Costco, as of a couple days ago.
Figured I would mention it, just so people can compare their own milk prices against it.
If you want people to do fair comparisons, "big jugs" doesn't cut it. How big were they in liters/pints ?
1 gallon each. At CostCo, they are a two pack.
Quick check of the community forums and you've got at least 50% of people either denying prices are too damn high or they're justifying it with "Buh my Trump!".
A year ago I wondered what all the fuss about raising grocery prices was all about this year I know.
Bread is so expensive, grocery stores are selling half loaves.
I just bought wheat bread yesterday here in California and it was on sale for $5.49. I could've got wonder brand white bread for $2.99 but my family doesn't like that.
Good on your family. Diabetes costs more in the long run.
Truth.
If you buy it, you are obviously an idiot.
According to some dipshit on reddit the other day they absolutely buy it, but claim if it's not true it's only not true in bLuE CiTiEs
If Trump says the sun's shining, there's probably an eclipse.
The people claiming prices are the same or lower either are lying or their butlers are picking up the groceries.
Bought three days of food on Sunday for $80. Four boxes of ready rice, two chicken breasts, two Italian sausages, one steak, french beans, brussel sprouts, and some asparagus. They can eat my ass with this cheap grocery narrative.
