Is the Taxpayer-Funded Sesame Street Corporation Colluding With Biden To Push His "Shrinkflation" Talking Point?

That's exactly what I thought yesterday when I saw Cookie Monster "innocently" talking about "shrinkflation."

Cookie Monster
@MeCookieMonster
Me hate shrinkflation! Me cookies are getting smaller.

Talk about shrinkflation is a Biden Op. The real problem is inflation, which Biden caused by his drunken-sailor, buy-every-fraudulent-vote spending binge. Corporations are trying to limit sticker shock, so they're putting less product in packages to make the price increase less painful.

So all claims the problem is "shrinkflation," and caused by greedy corporations, are an op to convince people that Biden's inflation isn't the problem.

So why would the Sesame Street lefties tweet this?

Bonchie points out that "shrinkflation" is a major disinformation op from Biden:

While you were Super Bowl shopping, did you notice smaller-than-usual products where the price stays the same?

Folks are calling it Shrinkflation and it means companies are giving you less for every dollar you spend.

I’m calling on the big consumer brands to put a stop to it. pic.twitter.com/wL1NsEh78F
— President Biden (@POTUS) February 11, 2024

As mentioned yesterday, Biden announced a fascist price-control effort that will harass and even prosecute producers if they do not cut prices below the profitability threshold to accept the brunt of inflation themselves, and make consumers think inflation has ended:

The White House seized on the tweet from the people they pay with taxpayer money:

C is for consumers getting ripped off.

President Biden is calling on companies to put a stop to shrinkflation. https://t.co/4bkX8o3irI
— The White House (@WhiteHouse) March 4, 2024

So this is a major push by The Regime -- and Sesame Street only exists because The Regime steals money from taxpayers to pay their leftwing cronies to make a propaganda show.

Note that Sesame Street's taxpayer stipend got cut under Trump -- but was high under Obama and then Obama's stand-in, Biden:

Here's the graph of federal funding for Sesame Workshop. pic.twitter.com/hFKTvNDVuF
— Chuck Ross (@ChuckRossDC) March 7, 2024

Chuck Ross summarized at the Free Beacon:

Leaders of Sesame Workshop, the organization behind Sesame Street, would certainly like to see Biden stymie concerns about inflation. In Biden's three years in office, federal agencies have awarded $23 million to Sesame Workshop, federal spending records show. Agencies gave just $8 million to the nonprofit during the Trump years.

Zero them out.

Zero.

Them.

Out.

Not really. It's been a word for decades. It's when companies don't want to raise prices so much as give you less for the same price.

Doubt it will work, and will most likely backfire, as it will equate Biden's intellect to that of 3 year old's intellect...now, that's not wrong...but I doubt the White House wants to have us think Biden has the brain of a 3 year old...

Given the leftward tilt of American companies (and other companies as well), I don't care. They're plenty happy with the fascistic marriage of government and corporations when it's in their favor, so they can suck it up when it isn't. I'm sorry this is happening; best of luck to them.

41 What I find funny is Bernie Sanders telling him to STFU about Bidenomics. People know it’s not great out there because they buy food. Or try to at least.

I also think it’s funny Biden is going after these big corporations who have all veered sharply left. They always eat their own, no pun intended.

If the corporations figure out maybe people who know how to run businesses and make money are better stars to which they should hitch their wagon, shrinkflation wouldn’t be a thing. And if Sesame Street was worth a darn, it wouldn’t need public funding.

72 Cereal, by the way, is one of the most volatile products there is. A box of say, Cheerios is all over the place weight-wise. Often by fractions of an ounce.
It's the World's Biggest Pain In The Ass.
Cereal containers fluctuate depending on wheat. The price stays mostly the same, kind of, but will vary between say, 15 ounces and 17 ounces depending on whether the buyer needs to save product or dump it on the market. It's rare, very rare, that any cereal box from a major company stays the same weight for even 3 months, ever.
Even worse is cat food. That depends on the haul from seasonal industrial fishing.

97 Biden announced a fascist price-control effort that will harass and even prosecute producers if they do not cut prices below the profitability threshold to accept the brunt of inflation themselves, and make consumers think inflation has ended:

This will be a nothingburger, just like the time Joe was going to cure cancer or Kammie was going to fix the border. They'll get a lot of press, hold a few committee meetings to publicly berate CEOs, and then because they can't find any actual wrongdoing, sink back into the swamp. Just like they did with gas prices three or four times during the Obummer administration when every time gas went up, stupid lefties (including Bill O'Reilly) screamed about price-fixing but could never actually find any.

106 MD now wants to tax food and grocery delivery services because it uses less gas for people to go to the store themselves. You know, Global Warming shit. Doesn't matter that there are people who physically can't go to the stores.
Shrinkflation actually works to customer's benefits if it keeps items at the same price so you can still afford to buy it and the end result is a few less chips but at least you can still buy the bag. Inflation causes everything that goes into the production of stuff to go up. Companies still have to make a profit to stay in business. Democrats are so unbelievably stupid about basic economic principles it just boggles the mind.
Bongino was ranting about this the other day. About how Democrats believe the most absurd things. Nothiing will change their minds if the administration tells them this is so.

Well, because of this “robust”economy, cat food is rarely made in the US anymore and the quality of the chicken is much lower than before. This causes stomach upset in my beasts and throwing up. I am to the point I may need to just make my own. In my free time.

Posted by: gnats local 678

Half-gallon is 2 quarts.
I'd say about the brands sold locally 1-1/2 quarts now.
... and really fluffy with ait whipped in.
The good stuff is still 'ice cream' and dense.
Some supposely premium brands are 'frozen dairy' whatever.

Actually most of it is Thailand and Indonesia. Also, when the US had their 'scare' and killed off chickens then nobody could get that food their fussy cat liked. What a fucking nightmare. Constantly getting yelled at, at 03:00 by people about their precious babies and their special needs.

Last tiem I did a big shop and wnet to the self checkout, store guy tried to stop me. I got all indignant. I said you see how big I am(i am pretty significantly vertically challenged). i have to heft my own groceries so I need to pack them myself. He backed right off.If I went through the regular checkout, I would end up with 20 plastic bags with 3 items in each. They have those rotary spinning things so you can't even offer to bag stuff yourself. And I can;t see the running total to note if I am being overcharged for things. Especially annoying.

225 If you ever wondered if the Democrat party participates in retribution, all you have to note is the absolute silence from the manufacturers relative to this accusation.

I can't imagine taking this out and out falsehood without responding to set the record straight.

Sure, there is less product. A good example is pasta. They cut it shorter lowering the amount minutely in each box (which adds up). They reflect that in the net weight. But, the fact that none of the large manufacturers rebut this misdirection and mischaracterization by Biden suggests that they don't want to poke the bear and find an IRS audit in the mail, or some such.

247 I always think folks are smart enough not to fall for commiecrat BS like this. If there was only shrinkflation from 'greedy corporations' then folks would see that the store brand is as big as ever without a huge jump in prices. Frito Lay, and other big food corps are using "math is hard" to soften the price jumps on their products but if the price jumps, product decreases, were just to increase corporate profits, small companies would gain market share. But the small companies have to do the same things.

Government is neither 1) a good or 2) a service. So government spending so be minimized to the greatest extent possible.

Felony property damage, then sued and won for civil damages and court costs. The big thing was making sure he, and nobody he was even related to, could ever shop at the store ever again. Kid did multi-generational damage with that.

Not necessarily citizens, they could be among the unhoused working once they've got benefits such as driving, working permits or benefits via children, grandparents. But their young children all watch Sesame Street home, in daycare & in kindergarten.

It's a joke when many also 'work' the food pantries. What do they care if there are 1/4 oz. less free chips & paper and personal care items are given away for free, or stolen and resold on the streets? There's a booming cash economy, getting bigger rapidly.

All at the same time), you are going to have to reach all the things on the shelves. Because I am 5’1 when my hair is big. But I won’t ask. You are going to come around the corner and see me climbing to reach whatever and have a heart attack first. Because I am a strong, powerful woman who doesn’t need a man to get the almond milk I like best. (Except I really do because I can’t reach it). Posted by: Piper'

347 The contractors working on the house next to me inform me the last tenant kept two dogs in the house (which I might have seen maybe twice, in 2 years?) and simply had them shit in a single room in the upstairs.
Posted by: LenNeal

Had a couple into drugs and living off of every disability known to man shit and piss in every drawer in every cabinet and piece of furniture, fill up soda bottles with urine and then filled up the back yard with their wastes until I got them out and the house demolished.

I loved showing the pictures to the judge, lawyers and every other asshole who wanted to know why they were being evicted by mean old me.

The Kid is working on getting a few old laptops back up and running that aren't working at the moment due to clock batteries. She had to explain to me why in the fuck anyone would encase a simple 3V watch battery inside a laptop with leads soldered to it, when it goes the laptop fails.
But the original storage.
