Few social media sites are as big a swamp as Reddit.
Leftists use the platform to call for attacks on ICE facilities and agents, and the site is populated by lunatics who think January 6 is worse than 9/11 and the Holocaust.
They are driven by a deep hatred of President Trump and conservatism, which is why one Reddit user is upset that prices at Costco are coming down.
No, really.

The post reads:
Costco is quietly slashing prices. This feels wrong.
I go to costco every week. it’s probably the only thing i do consistently. i’ve been doing it for years, i know how the prices move. lately? everything’s discounted. i’m not talking promo tags or little manufacturer markdowns — i mean whole shelves of items dropped 20–40%. across categories. not seasonal either.
this isn’t normal. prices are supposed to be going up with tariffs, inflation, shipping costs, whatever. instead they’re dumping inventory. aggressively. either demand is collapsing or something upstream is forcing their hand.
it just doesn’t make sense. it feels off. maybe i’m overreacting, but i’ve never seen price drops like this since i started going. if this is what it looks like at costco — the most stable, boring, buy-in-bulk fortress of consumerism — then i don’t really want to know what’s coming next.
maybe it’s nothing. but probably not.

Mentally ill cult members. They drank ALL the Kool-aid.
Make the Indian Dream for Indians!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, It just keeps getting better.
Swamp is too kind to describe Reddit. It’s a sewer.
Going to my local Costco is like going to Mumbai.
I’m hip.
Do you what the current price of a bone-in Rib Eye steak is in Mumbai?
Yeah...
That explains why google searches many times return reddit web pages over any others.
True.
And I’m sure LLM models use it as well.
Well, lefties do overrely on their emotions and cannot think rationally, so there’s that.
In that case I suggest you stay out of your local walmart......that’s most likely going to be like going to Bogotá
Is the price of coffee coming down ? LOL
I noticed that, too.
AI & Reddit lately seem to be the go-to for google to answer your questions.
Purely coincidental, I’m sure. /s
Maybe the poster is a conservative stockholder.
I’m trying to avoid google as much as possible.
I attempted to remove AI from google searches and after doing a bit of research the answer I got was you can’t....I’m not to big on having things forced on me with no opportunity to opt out.....that fall into the category of intrusion IMO.
Our Costco is like going to Korea. 😉
Yes but a 5 gallon bucket of hummus is only a dollar in Mumbai.
This doesn't surprise me at all. Have you seen the garbage that Costco has been stocking recently? It seems like Costco started getting rid of items people wanted and substituting crap that no one wants. I'm sure those are the prices being slashed.
Here in Minneapolistan it is Mogadishu.
