THE SKEPTIC ARENA


This web site is dedicated to the eradication of irrational thinking.
Rationalists are those, whose thinking is strictly guided by the laws of logic.
Rationalists only accept as true, that which has been proven to be true,
through the application of the scientific method.

Trump easily claims the title of
the most corrupt president in U.S. history.
But what I find most amazing is that ...

he makes no attempt to hide it

Trump is proving that once you gain control over the minds of cult members
there is absolutely nothing that they will not accept.
It is virtually impossible to help those people.
And that is why we are in deep ... deep ... caca.

The great "Egg Decoy":
With the media's help, the Oligarchs were able to easily distract Americans from ...

the real theft that they were committing

Let's see how much those expensive eggs were costing us:

The average American eats 0.8 eggs/day (that's ~300/year).
In 2022 the average price was ~24 cents per egg.
It peaked in March of 2025 at ~52 cents per egg.
So Americans were paying ~$84 more per year.

During that time, what did you hardly ever hear about from the media?

Skyrocketing rents -
which were taking thousands of dollars per year
from the poor and middle classes and giving it to the land owners
(btw, we still hear hardly anything about that
because they obviously don't plan on stopping it).

Meanwhile, as the article said,
the big corporations' profits went through the roof;
and they thank all of you gullibles ... for your support!
