A Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Minnesota suggested that Americans should cut back on daily costs amid the economic strain caused by the U.S. military operation in Iran.
Former NFL reporter Michele Tafoya acknowledged how “frustrating” and “hard” rising gas prices are for consumers during a Wednesday radio interview, but she suggested Americans should minimize some of their spending to support Trump’s actions in the Middle East.
“I think right now at least just kind of keeping a stiff upper lip. Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks and so that gas goes a little further,” she told Tennessee’s KWAM radio host Todd Starnes.
It’s always a smartass reply.
Someone needs to shoot back, “I don’t drink Starbucks bitch”
Or I only drive to work, so one less trip to work?
How retarded are these people
pretty fucking
Buy Starbucks and you are funding the illegal Israeli settlements in the West bank. Tafoya, the pedo protecting MAGA, can piss in the wind.
“Let them eat cake” ass reply
“stop eating cake!” Antoinette cried “my oak trees need water.”
I think it’s let them eat less cake. 😉
Them millennials can’t afford houses because they’re blowing all their money on military operations and avocado toast
Alexa, order another air strike please.
I know you’re being facetious but it’s worth mentioning that avacado toast ingredients are $2 for multiple servings.
Yep! Not only is incredibly economical, it’s a healthier meal than most “traditional” American breakfasts.
Didn’t stop conservative media from deriding it as millennial over-indulgence. Vilifying the millennial tendency of frugality + preference for plants-based diet choices by portraying avocado toast as excessive and soy milk as emasculating, along with a concerted effort to deliver narrative to the /pol/ audience, it not only swayed the opinions of older generations, but spurred parts of the younger generations to resent each other. I’m sure meat industry profits were also in the mix somewhere.
The only winners in the culture war are the ones who drive the narratives, and it’s been that way in the US since radio was invented.

And empowered further through industry funded research into behavioral psychology.
And geriatric impressions of house prices were based on when houses cost 200$
Fewer.
Caribou Coffee is preferred in most of Minnesota anyways.
Running in Minnesota and said Starbucks instead of Caribou? Already lost.
Now gas prices aren’t a problem. Funny how that works.
But what about the eggs?!??!!?
No Republican should be allowed back into office, ever.
Imagine telling that to people who can’t even fathom being able to afford going to Starbucks.
There is a group, unfortunately large, in the political sphere that can’t fathom there being people too poor to go to Starbucks. Their world view is that the poors are only making 80k a year (which is poor to them). We have some really old, really wealthy, and really out of touch people in leadership positions in this country.
Starbucks isn’t gonna like that.
Also. Who the fuck can still afford to go to Starbucks? Out of touch idiot
I mean we all like $11 lattes don’t we
I don’t really think we have time for a handjob, Joe

Ok, you heard her everybody! Time to boycott Starbucks!
While we are at it, might as well boycott some other frivolous things like streaming services, toxic social medias, and any non-local restaurant, on top of the other things we were already boycotting, like Target. And, wait… why’s the economy tanking even faster now!!!
How condescending.
