Read it and apologize for spreading misinformation.
Reading is fundamental. I should have just bold your ‘HAD’.

You CHOSE to buy an orange. You didn‘t HAVE to buy an orange unless someone was somehow forcing you to.

If you had just said ‘I spent $1 for an orange’ I wouldn’t have said anything.
Why are you hanging your hat on semantics while ignoring the point? An orange now costs a dollar. That's the result of Trump's policies.

I’m sure he was making the exact same point during Bidenflation. You don’t have to buy eggs. You don’t have to buy gas.

That's called BDKnitpicking. It's in the MAQA yahoo playbook. If they can't refute a point/argument they nitpick at irrelevant details in an attempt to distract. BKD is a grand master.
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.
