New article about how Rudy doesn’t know how much milk costs, nor bread.
His guesses were apparently wrong when compared to what sounds like a fancy grocery store on the Upper East Side, but I don’t think that really matters because everything in Manhattan is super expensive. The article says that the cost is the same in Montgomery, but I am skeptical. His campaign says that his guesses were pretty close to the national average from some federal poll or something, which sounds stupid because it suggests RG knows the costs not based on going to a store, but based on being coached about national averages by his team. Either way, who cares?
When I read the headline, I stopped and wondered how much those things cost. I seldom buy regular cow milk, but I couldn’t even tell you how much soy milk costs. I also seldom buy loaves of bread, but again, I have no idea how much they cost. I think what it really says is that bread and milk are things that most people don’t really pay much attention to those costs, but buy things like that pretty much knowing that they’re affordable I couldn’t really give you a price for any of my groceries except for the more expensive things that I have to really make decisions about. Like avocados. Those are expensive. If I can gt them for less than a dollar, it’s a deal. More than $2 means no guacamole. But usually they’re somewhere in between.  When I do buy bread and milk, I don’t really compare prices…
I’m still kinda thinking about my groceries, and I really can’t come up with any prices. Eggs.. maybe four dollars a dozen? That seems high, maybe 2. A bag of flour? Oh! I know- a pound of fair trade organic Peruvian coffee costs $8.99 at my grocery store, but maybe if I were running for President and trying to appeal to Southern Republicans, I wouldn’t want to advertise knowing that. Blackberries are expensive. My cellphone costs about $400 at retail if you don’t sign up for a new plan, but that’s not really a grocery type thing for most people. I’m the only guy who loses his phone on a monthly basis… Anyhow, my point being is that there are a million reasons why RG shouldn’t be president, most of them based on sorta shady personal ethics and lack of any interesting qualities. If we got presidents based on knowledge of how much food costs, I think instead of looking for candidates in the House, Senate, etc., we should elect the local grocery store cashiers. But that’s stupid, so we don’t, despite all the suggestions.
