On May 18, Twitter user @JohnWRichKid, whose username at the time was "Breaking911," sent out this tweet: "***BREAKING--COSTCO ANNOUNCES PLANS TO RAISE FOOD COURT HOT-DOG PRICES BY $1 DUE TO INFLATION." Two hours later, @HouseGOP, the official account of the Republican Conference of the U. S. House of Representatives, retweeted the announcement, adding that "#Bidenflation comes for everything."However, that claim about Costco hiking its prices is false. In the GOP's rush to get in a jab at President Joe Biden, they spread fake news from a source whose Twitter bio reads, "Wendy's Fry Cook - I like to make memes - PARODY."
Since it debuted in 1985, the price of Costco's hot dog and drink combo has not changed. Through booms and recessions, it has stayed steady at $1.50. During a 2018 presentation for the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce, Costco CEO Craig Jelinek recounted a now-viral exchange he had with Costco co-founder Jim Singal.
"I came to him once and I said, 'Jim, we can't sell this hot dog for a buck fifty. We are losing our rear ends,'" Jelinek said. "And he said, 'If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.'"Include a caption for your image…
Yes - Of Course Costco raised prices. Its all Bidens Fault!
Yes - If something is in correlation to money - its Bidens Fault
No. They are just misguided soul-less individuals who can't think on their own
No. They can't think on their own. They see or want to make up a lie so they can feel better about themselves

Are the REPUBLICANS and the GOP the biggest gullible people on the planet?
I feel that Americans in general are the most gullible. Like the people in power have us basically football game cheering for our politicians while they just get more obscenely rich. Right now, the wealth gap between the rich and poor is worse than Gilded Age America. Go into a grocery store and everything in there is sold by the same 6 companies that own everything. Just look up how many companies really run America. There’s like two internet companies that control almost all internet, there’s like 4 companies that own all the media, it’s pretty wretched. But hey, the blue people are talking at the podium! We need to get the red guy in there to fix things!
@CloudMassacre so all this shit is the blue fault? with a bag of shit the red left us - a snap of the fingers everything will be fixed? is that how it works?
Everything is the Democrats and Republicans fault for being bought by corporations and dividing the country on social issues while just enriching themselves and companies
@CloudMassacre while democrats want to hold big business responsible - it it slapped out their hands because big business pandered to the republicans because they put money in their pockets.
Through a process called ratchet politics, the Republicans move the US economically to the right and Democrats either keep it the same or barely move it left. In 1980 the corporate tax rate was like 75% during the last economic boom. Over time Republicans have lowered that and Democrats have maintained it. In 2008 the corporate tax rate was 27%, but today the same administration now has it even lower at 21%. In 2018 it was 21%. So I don’t see the Democrats really doing anything to tax rich people and corporations more
