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!
I didn't vote for him.
Worth more than $100 these days.
Guaranteed sans Bird Flu!™️®️
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!
how does a dictatorship and a side of day old fries sound?
I ate this onion quite hard
Bait was never this believable before.
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.
I mean, this is more or less what happened in November.
The Americans already did, for the promise of cheap eggs and an ethnostate.
If 5 million USD can buy you a US citizenship, why can’t I sell mine for 5 mill USD? I will gladly do so, and I bet I won’t be the only one.
Yeah, is there a sign up sheet?
Sure... plus tax.
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".
Didn’t this already happen with Elon “paying” people to vote Trump?
I thought it would've been a Wal-Mart gift card.
Strange closing paragraph.
not loving money more than life is so un-american
