@TJAltimore Those MAC and C-USA numbers are insane...

Things you won’t see on Fox News today…

Prices for Thanksgiving are down -- from Turkey to air travel.

Average hourly wage is up -- almost 4.4% from over a year ago, 18% from 3 years ago. That’s nearly the best 3-year gain in 40 years.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

Look this is all silly. There's an annual game of "let's tell a political story with Thanksgiving prices." This year, they're actually down using the measuring stick folks typically use.

Rather than lose a good meme, the answer has been to invent or misrepresent.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

If you're thinking about Thanksgiving, perhaps you're needing apples for your pie. Fresh apples are down -3.9% over the year.

And the farm bureau reports that fresh cranberry prices are down -18.3%.

What other fruits are Thanksgiving relevant?

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

Let's start with the claim "uncooked turkey" is 7.2% more expensive. That's actually the CPI for a broader category of "other uncooked poultry" which includes Turkey.

But turkeys? The USDA says the retail price of fresh Hens is down -7.6% and fresh Toms are down -8.1%

[The Associated Press @AP]

Newly released surveillance video from a Denver theater appears to show Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert vaping during a “Beetlejuice” musical play — the one thing she denied doing while acknowledging earlier this week that she had been kicked out for being disruptive.

Jon Stewart delivers another crushing truth. 🔥

Why do we let corporations socialize financial losses and privatize their gains?

Let that marinate for a few minutes before commenting, it might be a little heavy at first.

[Chris Butler @cmbutler]

@atrupar So you're saying there's a chance?

@atrupar This is America…if theres one thing we’ve got , its guns and bullets.

“If you read what Kudlow actually said, he’s cagey – doesn’t say that Biden proposed this, only that some people say this is what would happen. But Fox viewers won’t notice, which is the intention.”

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Larry Kudlow, one of Trump’s top economic advisors, claimed on Fox that President Biden wants to force Americans to drink “plant-based beer.”

@NoLieWithBTC Isn’t all beer plant based? Does meat based beer exist?
