It's a justification because he talks in AI word soup in real life. That's the punchline in the comic. His defensive justification is that he sounds like an AI in his email because he just happens to sound like an AI all the time. There's no rationalization required if he didn't use AI to write emails and the justification for him sounding like AI in his emails is that actually sounds like AI all the time.

That's wild that 93% of Americans have never driven in New Jersey.

This is a silly thing to complain about unless you didn't read the article. The price increase is specifically quoting a grocer who price per crate went up. The article itself gives you several direct proportional metrics:

According to the latest Consumer Price Index, tomato prices have surged by approximately 40% over the past year

MarginEdge, a firm tracking restaurant prices, reported that grape tomatoes saw a 65% increase in just one month, with prices rising across all tomato varieties.

And finally the context of the title that you're complaining about:

Wayne Humphrey, chief operating officer of Snarf’s, which operates dozens of stores in Colorado, Missouri and Texas, said cases of tomatoes went from costing him $27 to $93 in the space of a year, piled on top of rising expenses for other ingredients including bread and beef, as well as increased labor costs.

It's such a non-issue in this article and the title encapsulates the problem that even the grocers are facing. But I guess you have to run to comments and complain about AmErIcAn MeAsUrEmEnTs when it's vaguely relevant because this is lemmy.

Jamaica isn't the part of the US. What're you talking about?

How can you tell? Genuinely curious. Aren't those numbers fairly opaque? Or is there a way to tell what a specific person donated to?

It's kind of hard for me to tell on this one. Maybe the boomer lead is seeping into my brain.

Tried this method. Any recommendations for repairing a broken window and getting a cleaver out of my neighbor's dead body? It's, like, really stuck in there.

I'm sure he is still capable of shitting his pants and not showering.
