This idiotic, easily refuted, childishly phrased, false statement is worthy of Musk’s fellow genius Jared Kushner, or the surrogate father he is angrily wrestling with, Jared’s father-in-law, what’s his name.

The major supermarket chains, who increased profits heroically during the post-Covid supply chain disruption and associated inflation, did this by increasing their prices.   Even Musk’s fellow enraged, entitled, sub-normal, professional golfer Donald Trump, conceded there’s little even the all-powerful president can do to reduce grocery prices.  He’d been lying when he vowed bring grocery prices down on day one, as it happens.  

The Unitary Executive would be able to control prices, if the US government had any role in setting prices for private businesses, like supermarkets.  Nothing about this hopped up South African asshole’s statement makes a lick of sense.  In fact, it doesn’t withstand the weight of a single question.  Disinformation (deliberate lies told to advance a political agenda) is their entire game.  They don’t have facts, or law, on their side, only will, divisive lies and the lawless exercise of state-sponsored brutality.

Irrationality does not make truth, fact, evidence, law, cause and effect, moral values disappear.  It only obscures the real world behind a tsunami of pernicious lies.   It is our duty as citizens, and human beings, to keep the line between reality-based rationality and fantasy-based fascism as clear as we can.   There is almost no overlap between those two worlds, which is also by design of the irrationalists, keep everything black and white, and something to rage about.  Our job is to protect nuance and mutual conversation in all its human dimensions.
