6 minutes in and he’s definitely gonna buy that frog.
-
Somebody, somewhere, who a year ago was doing their insane job creating giant size frog statues just got the payoff of the century tonight.

"It must be so frustrating to retire, think you're done, and then have to go back to work. That is the absolute worst case scenario of retirement." The failure to show Jon Stewart's headshot is a TERRIBLE missed opportunity. 😂
-
The Emmy was once again well deserved— you do a public service by explaining these crucial topics, and you make us laugh at the same time! Almost as amazing as that frog fountain 😂
-
Fun fact, I used to build retail websites, most of those "3 left in stock" messages are fake. They use them to create a false sense of urgency.
-
The fact that corporations can all collectively price gouge everyone and convince them that the government is the cause, which leads to electing republicans that will allow corporations to price gouge even further is genuinely horrifying.
-
Groceryflation up here in Canada is still horrific, and as people have been digging up, corporate greed is a big, big, big part of it
-
I haven't paid rent utilities property taxes or had to deal with landlord bank or neighbors for the past five years because I've been living in my van and have never felt more free and happy about it.

As a grocery store employee , I love being yelled at and blamed personally for prices, one lady went on a massive rant on how I was evil and how we should all be ashamed for robbing everyone, me and my broke minimum wage self just nodded and smiled knowing I can no longer even afford to do groceries as regularly or even get half of what I needed.
-
After so long on the air, I have to wonder if whoever at HBO oversees the budget of this show still gets surprised. “Not one but three giant frog statues for an episode on inflation? Makes total sense, approved.”
-
After studies have shown 55-60% of inflation has been due to corporate price gouging, I can't believe it barely got a mention here
-
Ed really missed the opportunity to tell Gatorade to "get a grip". Come on, Ed.
-
As a gas station employee I can confirm most of the job is indeed trying to convince people that I personally didn't somehow steal their gas while they were pumping. I even had someone call the police
-
Respect to the theatre techs who, when asked "Can we have a giant frog statue lower from the ceiling with water spouting out of it's mouth by next Thursday?", simply sniffed and said "Yup."
-
i have to say, the phrase "a lot of smart people, and Jim Cramer" got me good
-
I love how he always takes the piss out of Jim Cramer lol
-
The HBO Accounting Department must live for this show and their itemized budget requests. “You want to buy a WHAT!? Three of them!? For one segment!?”
-
I work for an online retailer in a supply warehouse and part of the inflation problem might be that corporations are making more money than ever while pretending they have low stock of items when they actually have more. Yet our wages haven't gone up either but our CEOs are getting raises and bonuses for ripping everyone off.
-
Market declines, soaring inflation, a significant increase in interest rates by the Fed, and rising Treasury yields all point to additional losses for portfolios this quarter. How can I profit from the present market turbulence? I'm still debating whether to sell my $125,000 ETF/Growth Stock portfolio.

"There's only 3 left in stock" oh jesus, he bought them, didn't he?
