heard someone literally use the term "junk fees" today and now I'm wondering how active they are in adopting the literal focus tested party buzzwords of the democrats
He just said "what? I heard about them lately, they're everywhere!"
The only poor-nig fees this guy (a charter jet pilot making $250k/year for part time work) pays are on his daughters' taylor swift concert tix

I just think it's so apparent what's up: The "junk fees" discourse is perfectly designed (well, 'perfect' in that sense of pointless marketeer philosophy) to be a red herring to lambast in the public eye without damaging democrat donors or unsolvable inflation. They can't make a box of saltines be ¢99 again, nor can they actually tackle something like a real fee that adds needless cost like amazon/seller or apple app store fees (the latter basically making all digital subs add 40% across the board)
Instead they target the JUNK FEE, added costs that only the bottom rungs on the economic ladder see. Bounced checks, late fees, extra shit for concert tickets online and another 9 line items on your miami-atlanta ticket on spirit airlines.
It's an interesting tactic to watch, I'm just blown away it actually found footing with a breathing human (NPC)

@WashedOutGundamPilot "junk fees"?

@lichelordgodfrey It's been biden's bugbear lately, whenever there's palpable discontent about the economy biden makes an appearance to talk about how he's "Taking on JUNK FEES"
It's a distraction for nigs

@WashedOutGundamPilot ok reading more rather than skimming and this is more dumb than I thought.
are they going to try to make superbowl tickets free, next?

@lichelordgodfrey It's a sideshow, tactically it kind of works, I guess. THey're just going after these because the companies involved aren't strong enough in lobbying to worry about.

@WashedOutGundamPilot none of this is real until they break out the 30,000 megaton hammers they used to (temporarily) nationalize a lot of this shit in the 1930's and 40's.
the nickel and diming is a feature of the system as it keeps squeezing more blood out of this stone, against the odds.

@Wolffkran @lichelordgodfrey Maybe, they don't know the specifics, the dem voter they court with it will assume biden's "making things cheaper"
