    Not to give this admin any credit, but he isn’t wrong. He said $1 per stick, not per pound. I can get a Kroger 4 stick pack for $3.49 at my local store.

        OK? I just read the quote in the article and the words he said was true. I’m certain that Oz is an out of touch rich asshole, but the statement he mad was correct. If I were to venture a guess, he was probably parroting some PR goon that made the comment about the price per stick and then the out of touch loser called a whole pack a stick. Regardless though, the price per stick comment was correct enough and even if it weren’t I don’t really care.

        There are so so many things that this administration says and does that are asinine at best, blatantly evil at worse. Shit like this is a distraction and a non-issue. Who gives a fuck if he said butter was 1 cent a stick. He’s a rich prick. I don’t expect him to know a fucking thing about grocery prices. I’m more concerned with his policies as the head of CMS and how they will fuck over those on medicaid and medicare.

          I think it’s a little naive to exclude body language when analyzing someone’s language. The latter half of your comment is true though.

        If I just need butter in something with a lot of bigger flavors, I’ll use the cheaper stuff. If I’m making a grilled cheese, toast, frying an egg, etc. where I’m gonna taste the butter, I usually use kerrygold. I try to buy it in bulk when it is on sale, though. It is considerably more expensive.
