It is a bummer that you are feeling financially stressed, but the price of things won't get better by electing a felon. His stated policies will make things worse
There's the kicker. Cause I firmly believe that, with more education (not indoctrination) by itself, conservativism would be made up entirely of the lowest 10% of intelligence, and those in the upper 0.5% of wealth (well, those who aren't already included from the former).
Cause no way in hell do this many regular average people care that greatly about the latest week's GOP bullshit. Not a chance. Its fear that motivates them to seek a solution, but lack of education that makes it so effective at falling for.
We gotta live with them, so we better figure out how to teach adults who don't have to be in school for years. Or learn how to live with needing to kill or exile them.
I don't think nobody out of the upper 0.1% of the US would gain by their policies (and those mostly vote against them), and 90% of the people in it would probably lose too. For the 0.01%, it's a matter of valuing short or long term gains and actual wealth as opposed to "Hah! Suffer you poor! I'm better than that!"
I agree. His 34 felonies are nothing compared to the damage he caused as President when COVID hit, leading to the inflation we are feeling today. Economists were warning us before COVID. In his first 2 years, Trump boosted the economy by using all of the economic tools that were typically reserved for emergencies when things were fine so that he could appear effective. Then, the tragedy that economists were worried about happened, and the only solution we had was to pump money (money printer go brrrrr) into the economy while Trump made the pandemic worse. So yeah, 34 felonies are negligible compared to the damage he caused with his short-sighted desperate policies to elicit admiration.
How are you spending so much? I spend half that on gas per week (rural area so I easily put 200-400 miles a week on the car) and your weekly grocery budget is about my monthly budget for a family of 4
It doesn't matter which one is elected, neither of them give a shit about the working class; the prices won't change for the better either way.
I wish President George Washington & Abraham Lincoln were reincarnated; Presidents who actually gave a shit.
To bad Biden has completely changed than how he was when he was younger... If only he was elected a lot earlier in his career. Unfortunately, that's just not how it worked out. There used to be so much more passion behind his eyes, but now you only ever see that passion when he's talking about icecream. 😮💨
"It is a bummer that you feel financially stressed, particularly these last 4 years. But things could be worse! Somehow. Vote Biden in again & you'll see."
Which Trump policy's do you expect to cause deflation significant enough to reduce your grocery bill?
Which Trump policy's do you expect to reduce your dependcy on owning a car so that you won't be at the mercy of oil companies, car manufacturers, and insurance companies in order to survive?
To leave the US isn't as easy in itself...to leave, and sever all financial ties, even moreso. I think you must renounce your US citizenship to stop paying income taxes. $2400 + any exit fees, for those with a little more built-up wealth.
Where to go, where to land, is another big question. Nerds with their remote working jobs can go anywhere, work from anywhere, and get their money. I am a blue collar laborer. Pros & cons to that, but it does physically limit where one can go & make a halfway successful, nice living.
I do believe the US is in decline. This could be a Rome type situation, where it is in decline for centuries. When you're at the top, there's a long way to fall. It might be best to position yourself accordingly, and not make any rash decisions.
