          a $100 certificate they could use to purchase a new Bluetooth speaker or couple Keurig coffee makers,” said Pew pollster Dana Felder, who

          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:

          https://www.amazon.com/Keurig-K-Mini-Single-Serve-Coffee/dp/B07GV2S1GS

          It looks like they go up to $126.

          Maybe a couple of Mr. Coffee coffeemakers.

          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.

                I mean, $100 bucks at Best Buy is like $35 at actual market prices. I'd need at least a $200 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".

                          The Americans already did, for the promise of cheap eggs and an ethnostate.

                                It's not, these are the promises, like cheap eggs, affordable groceries and $1.98/gallon gasoline.

                                    Strange closing paragraph.

                                    the highest they’d been since 1996 when 80% of Americans stated that they would live under an Islamic theocracy in exchange for a $50 gift card to Radio Shack.

                                          If 5 million USD can buy you a US citizenship, why can’t I sell mine for 5 million USD? I will gladly do so, and I bet I won’t be the only one.
