Good news for Americans. “For the second year in a row, the cost of buying Thanksgiving dinner has decreased from the year before, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation’s annual report released Wednesday.”

    “Just cause it’s an election year” /s

    I added the “/s” so it was super apparent I don’t actually think that. I’m merely preparing myself to hear that from at least one member of my family later this week.

        Nope, I’m not ready. Couldn’t even read your tongue-in-cheek reply without rolling my eyes. Going to have to practice a bit more.

      Just cause it’s an election year

      American Farm Bureau Federation’s annual report

      Because the Farm Bureau Federation is definitely part of the federal government and not one of the largest lobbying groups for farmers in the USA and they definitely do not release this report annually. Only in election years.

      Like, who do they think such a report is even benefiting 1. after the election and 2. when it’s from a lobbying group? What’s the logic about it influencing an election year??

      I just can’t anymore. I’m sorry you have to suffer that from family. My condolences
