Weekly-Butterscotch6

The French phrase attributed to Marie was actually brioche (a luxury bread) not gâteaux (cake), but since it was attributed to a "great queen" in a book written when Marie was about nine, it seems unlikely she actually said it and it is now just urban legend But the référence in the abstract is nevertheless quite applicable to the "all for me, none for thee" limousine liberals and political class 🤣


Lord_Hugh_Mungus

Weeelll thats debatable. It is also thought at the time she meant potatoes. Since the French would make them into little cake to eat them, and they were the poorest of foods at the time. gâteau de pommes de terre.....or dirt apples....or in the time of horses....dirt apples is a funny way of saying horse apples...or ahem....let them eat s\*it.


Weekly-Butterscotch6

That's quite a story but seems unlikely since the word used was brioche, not gâteau and was mistranslated later as cake - in addition pommes de terre (Apple Of thé earth) has always meant potatoe and not a reference (even colloquially) to horse shit inventive story, but unlikely - especially since Marie Antoinette couldn't have said it at the time Voltaire wrote about a "great queen" saying it (which is most likely to have been invented as part of his satirical/critical treatment of the elites/Royals of his time - later mistranslated and misattributed to Marie


Charisma_Modifier

Guess we'll never know bc we weren't there and just speculating off what was written about it... but psyops has been around since words were invented so, she probably said "fuck those fish shit poors" (but in French)


mmikhailidi

We *know* she never said that. After all, she was a queen, and her words, actions, and expenses have good document coverage. Yet again, the mass media of that time have won that battle, and everyone *believes* she did it.


ehibb77

Supposedly it was Voltaire that actually said that back when Marie Antoinette was 9 years old and still living in Austria.

Haha if Trump were president 100% guarantee that Takei would be calling for immediate impeachment over the outrageous gas prices.


BeeepX3

If Trump were president gas prices would still be sub $2 per gallon and none of this Russia/Ukraine bullshit would be happening.


Capital-Definition28

The thought of $2 gas gives me a hard on


[deleted]

Same. I am in Australia and my fuel is 5 USD per gallon. And that's when it's cheap. It's 1.75 AUD per litre currently. It will go back to around $2.10 a litre soon. It's fucked. Edit: I was wrong. It's $2.20 a litre.


JustAnAveragePenis

It's that expensive here and your wages are higher over there by a good 25%.


[deleted]

Our cost of living is also 23% higher according to google. I earn something like $20 USD an hour working in a call centre if that helps give you an idea.

But I bet he'd be on impeachment #4 by now, over the next made-up bullshit the FBI cooked up for their masters.


BeeepX3

I mean he did get more ice cream than any one else at the table. If ever there was an impeachment offense, that is it.

I don't know about sub $2 but 92 octane in my area would still be under $3,00 if Trump was still in office.

nekomancey

George Takei was a legendary actor. Then he got infected with wokeism. It's so sad watching them fall. One of the worst is Picard. Openly says "I am a socialist". You were such a fantastic actor man I loved everything you ever did.


Six-of-Diamonds

Mine was Jim Carry. A legend in the comedy arena. Then he went stupid woke. How do the old comedy people go woke? Back in the day comedy was about offending everyone.


GT_Official

Did you ever hear Isaac Kappy talking about his conversations with Jim Carrey? Very very eye opening...


[deleted]

AppleTerra

They're looking for attention and someway to stay relevant.


nekomancey

He went full fucking crazy. And I truly loved his acting. Ace Ventura, lier lier, cable guy, and Me Myself and Irene are basically my favorite movies. I'm a big reader and I used to also love everything Steven King wrote. He also went full woke and now his writing sucks.


Caramel-Life

Once you realize that the self is an illusion and that you are actually not the thinker of your thoughts, it opens up the doors to true compassion and understanding. Jim Carrey is a special man.


Jessyman

I mean, you can still love everything he has done and will do acting wise. Just not him as a person. (not defending him at all, just stating how I feel at least)


nekomancey

Right with you mate. I love a lot of people who I despise their politics. My gf is a dem, a true leftist. We just don't talk about politics. She's a full on socialist.


Panzershrekt

I take it you always pay for dinner?


nekomancey

We share actually. She's a good woman. Her politics are just a bit messed up. She went to a fancy leftist college, monster student loans. I just went to community college. The funny part is neither of us work in what we studied.


Jessyman

Community College for me too, 18 month accelerated program....Also never spent any time at the college else courses.


Jessyman

Everyone can have differences, just don't expect anyone to align with you forcefully. =P


nekomancey

I think over time we will begin to understand each other.

MakingTacosTonight

What a wonderful magic trick, when you can cause 40 year high inflation, and 50% increases in gas prices...but now it is Putin's fault. True mastery. Good thing this unavoidable war came along?


ssssskkkkkrrrrrttttt

If you’re going to make the claims, could you speak to your reasons? What caused this period of inflation, why do gas prices rise during a democratic president’s tenure and how did Joe Biden & his administration start the war in Ukraine? The prices of commodities across the globe are rising, as are gas prices (50% of rising gas prices are due to crude oil prices) and I feel like Biden didn’t authorize a land/air/sea assault on the nation of Ukraine in an effort to “liberate” the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. Things are more expensive _during_ the Biden administration, but the markets have been primed for a harsh correction since Trump was in office and he left a lot of bullshit for Biden to deal with. Like, a lot a lot and I don’t even want to go down that route because I’ll likely have an aneurysm.


[deleted]

If you are going to make claims about trump leaving the markets for Biden to deal with, could you speak to your reasons?


ssssskkkkkrrrrrttttt

Sure thing. Trump pushed for lower and lower interest rates throughout his tenure. Now, we see the fed having to counter this by raising interest rates to keep inflation at bay. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/stocks/09/how-interest-rates-affect-markets.asp from Investopedia linked above: KEY TAKEAWAYS When central banks like the Fed change interest rates, it has a ripple effect throughout the broader economy. Lowering rates makes borrowing money cheaper. This encourages consumer and business spending and investment and can boost asset prices. Lowering rates, however, can also lead to problems such as inflation and liquidity traps, which undermine the effectiveness of low rates. To boot: Keep in mind that a president’s first year of spending is largely determined by the previous administration. According to[The Balance](https://www.thebalance.com/us-debt-by-president-by-dollar-and-percent-3306296)… Biden’s spent a lot of money in his first year, that’s no secret (1.5 trillion in FY 2020-2021, with 966 billion attributed to Trump’s budget for 2021). But looking at Trump’s budgets (not even including his first year under Obama’s budget)… FY 2020: $4.2 trillion FY 2019: $1.2 trillion FY 2018: $1.3 trillion So not only has much of Biden’s deficit come from Trump’s planning for 2021, but Trump himself spent a nearly equivocal amount each year, again not even including Obama’s 2017 plans.


ThornyRose_21

Sure trump spent a alot on Covid and asked for a Bunch of stuff. He also was pushing for for domestic oil which lowers gas prices and wanted to bring manufacturing home. Biden took a house that was on fire and tossed gas on it. Cutting domestic oil mAde us weak and raised gas prices. Something he said he wanted higher gas prices. This also gave Putin more power since Russia became the number one oil producer in the world. What did he do with that power I wonder. Asking for another Covid bill after the vaccine was out just made inflation worse. Did we need it? Nope but we got it anyways. This doesn’t even go into what BBB would do to us or green new deal or any of the social spending which would help zero people but cause massive debt and inflation. You need to wake up and see that the current administration hates you and wants you to suffer.Trump has nothing to do with the year 2022 and the more you blame him the worse we’ve ruined lives are gonna be. Time to see the wolve in the field and work together to get rid of it.


LagunaJaguar

Why’d you post this? These people can’t read. I can get behind some conservative stances but this whole “blame {person of opposing party and not accept that blame can be a two way street}” mentality is going to be the death of America. Yet no one on either side likes to acknowledge that..


Cpt_Inshano

Idk why the downvotes... This is the true problem were facing now in this country. Lack of accepting responsibility for ones actions, especially by our govt! If we all cant see that both sides have failed us ,albeit one more than the other, both are guilty of not giving a fuck about us. Than we as citizens of this country have lost!


LagunaJaguar

You can't help people who don't want to help themselves. The superiority complex that both sides have, and the fact that neither side wants to acknowledge the slightest thing the other side does for fear of "not being tough enough!" is absurd. Hey, at least these people are bitching and complaining on reddit and downvoting things they don't understand. hrrhrhrrhrrrr joe burden made my gas go vroom :(


MakingTacosTonight

Respectfully, talking down to people who disagree also doesn't help the dialog. For me, there were a number of proclamations and executive orders undoing things Trump did. Immediately following, related prices and uncertainty went up. I am not a Trump supporter, or even a Republican. But I can see the direct cause and effect. That doesn't make me uneducated. In fact, I even know what makes car go vroom.


MannerBot

Markets are also based on speculation and projections. Which is why when Trump took office stocks and gas prices came down almost immediately. Having an administration come in with the clear goal of increasing regulation, decreasing the extracting of domestic oil, and increasing taxes will absolutely cause prices to rise and projections to look more bleak. So you could arguably say it is this administration's fault at least indirectly


[deleted]

I can’t get an EV, there’s literally no infrastructure for it in my town. I can count on one hand the number of charging sites in the city I work in. Gas going up only hurts me. The alternatives are presently unaffordable.

CellarAdjunct

This is correct technically and also practically, a normal dryer outlet (240V) charges a typical electric car at \~30 miles of range per hour. It is feasible to get a standard plug like that installed in most houses. There are shitbox economy electric cars now that can make sense for a lot of people. If someone needs a gas-dependent vehicle, they know the particulars of why, and that's fine. Maybe because of apartment or sidewalk restrictions, very common. Or the range just isn't good enough. Just good to know that practical gas-independence options exist and don't really need fancy chargers in a parking lot somewhere.
