Yeah, is there a sign up sheet?
We already did, Onion. Except it was for a dozen eggs.
EDIT: OH WAIT
Hickman’s Family Farms loses 95% of Arizona chickens to bird flu
Which wasn't even "paid out"
An egg. My kingdom for an egg!
Worth more than $100 these days.
Guaranteed sans Bird Flu!™️®️
a $100 certificate they could use to purchase a new Bluetooth speaker or couple Keurig coffee makers,” said Pew pollster Dana Felder, who
I do not for one minute believe that $100 is buying a couple of Keurig coffee makers, unless those guys are going ridiculously hard on the razor-and-blades model.
checks Amazon
Yeah. The least-expensive Keurig coffee maker on Amazon is $60:

It looks like they go up to $126.
Maybe a couple of Mr. Coffee coffeemakers.
This article was first posted in 2021 and has not been edited since. Inflation has been considerable in that time.
Oh, good catch.
Remember when things were....affordable?
Not Keurig coffee makers.

It's not, these are the promises, like cheap eggs, affordable groceries and $1.98/gallon gasoline.
My ex and I scored 5 at the thrift for $5 each. I'll never understand paying retail, and especially for coffee makers. I did pay "full" price for my Amazon French press. Whatever.
Haha! You don't have a democracy to swap!
The Americans already did, for the promise of cheap eggs and an ethnostate.
Didn’t this already happen with Elon “paying” people to vote Trump?
Bait was never this believable before.
Democracy? Lol. Can we trade in our plutocracy for anything?
how does a dictatorship and a side of day old fries sound?
Apparently that sounds fucking fantastic to the average voter.
I ate this onion quite hard
Good thing we live in a democratic republic that would prevent mob rule so this could never happen
I mean, this is more or less what happened in November.
I mean, $100 bucks at Best Buy is like $35 at actual market prices. I'd need at least a $200 gift card.
That's maybe two 1.5m HDMI cables.
They already did, and the gift card has also been spent...
Still waiting on my gift card...
the avg American wouldn't give a fuck, at all. they would shout "gimme that!" not even knowing what they were trading away, thinking it's "just some political bullshit".
Im totally going to egg some random guys house in the suburbs because of this news article, no wait eggs and beer… fine I’ll just get a forty ounce and the eggs
Sure... plus tax.
I mean I'd glad trade nothing for a gift card. Idiots.
I thought it would've been a Wal-Mart gift card.
Strange closing paragraph.
the highest they’d been since 1996 when 80% of Americans stated that they would live under an Islamic theocracy in exchange for a $50 gift card to Radio Shack.
not loving money more than life is so un-american
