We had some of the most generous COVID supports in the world...

China delivered food to its resident's houses so they didn't have to go grocery shopping, built like 5 hospitals in a single week specifically dedicated to COVID, and did extensive contact tracing and quarantining to prevent cases from exploding.

But Joe gave me $1400 after promising me $2000, so really, who can say shrug-outta-hecks

Yeah, but I saw on twitter that they were installing iron bars in front of people's doors to prevent them from escaping! I heard they killed everyone who caught covid so they could say that they had 0 covid fatalities! I heard they were just lying about their economy bouncing back and just kill everyone who tries to point out that it is actually worse than America's! And worst of all...I heard that they don't have freedom.
- I heard they waterboarded covid skeptics with SEED OIL

smuglord "The way they left gaping loopholes in the PPP program allowed all sorts of wealthy individuals to take advantage to a disgusting degree. What could be more generous than that?"

MY GROCERIES COST 30% MORE AND I GOT A 2% RAISE I WILL BITE THIS MOTHERFUCKER

For who Will? Generous for who?

Sure all the big corporations, boaters and small business tyrants got PPE "loans" that they never have to repay but the rest of us barely got shit

Not even among the most generous COVID supports in international-community-1 international-community-2 lol (Edit: probably not even the most generous when comparing to the inverse "that map," too)

Does this guy even know how much groceries cost? (I already know the answer)

I actually think he does but he still spends all his time lecturing Twitter how economic indicators are more important. He's very much a lib pedant. He's prone to get sarcastic when he mentions numbers.

His bio

I do metro policy research, focused on fair housing, school integration, and demography.

I never googled him because I assumed he had some kind of mid-level "planning" job. I thought it was a bit curious he didn't say where he works but I assumed he didn't want to give Twitter trolls that info right in his bio. Trolls can be lazy. They might give up if a even simple google is involved.

One day I saw a tweet where he said he was a lawyer. I forget how he phrased it. Like "one of the good ones"? I thought to myself "Ah, that figures!"

Ninja edit

I knew "one of the good ones" wasn't right. It didn't sound like him. "Just the regular kind" is exactly what a lanyard-brained guy would say. And that's him.

Look I'm not an M&A lawyer, just the regular kind, but I'm pretty sure if you're the richest guy in the world you shouldn't go around handing people slips of paper that say "I will give you 44 billion dollars in three months, promise," even if it's really funny and gets you RTs

  "I want to pretend to care about minorities and poor people but I actually don't. How can I do that with the least effort possible?"

Again, they refuse to count necessities in their calculations. The one thing that everyone had to purchase to live.

I'm assuming every person that acts like this bought a home like right before the pandemic, watched it skyrocket in value while they enjoyed their 3% interest rate while mortgages were frozen for a year and they got to pay down their principal like crazy.

Our COVID support system was so robust that a million people in the United States decided to take the gamble between going to work and getting exposed to COVID or starving to death by not having any money, and lost

I just realized he entirely ignored the cruelty of the dems passing a child tax credit in 2021 intentionally so it would be taken away not long after. About a year?

But the dems like to blame the GOP for it dying. And the dems will mention it as we get closer to the election as something Biden will do if you vote so he can "finish the job".

The "dems blame the GOP for ruining their bills" is something I've never understood about American politics, if democrats are "in power" but the republicans get to decide which bills get passed or not, aren't they the ones actually in power? If they're the ones determining how the government functions, they are the ones in charge.

A few years ago - he had a lot of bad takes but most of the weren't terrible or stupid. He was a generic lib who I assumed thought of himself as "progressive" which has become a word that doesn't mean anything in the United States. I thought of him as a centrist at best. But starting this year he changed. He turned into a bad take machine who is always punching left.

That's the socialist theory: people are telling the truth when they say they think the economy, they couldn't possibly be misled about that, but they've been totally deceived about WHY they're unhappy, which is their deep desire for socialism, not high prices at all.

Does he really think that "High Prices" and "Desire for Socialism" are two separate issues? 🤨

Being inside my own head and heart, I can confirm with zero doubt that I am much more unhappy about - and more aware of my unhappiness about - the high prices that affect my life every single day than I am about the ideological roots of my dissatisfaction.

I just can't even fathom what it's like to go to the grocery store and not notice (and worry about) prices.

  So much political discourse is actually people working as hard as they can to explain that positive (or negative) economic data is far more important than everyday life.

big wage gains outstripping inflation, especially for low-income workers

The US federal minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour, and still hasn't been raised since 2009.

This mf stays posting from bizarro world lmao

Under trump, for 3-6 months

This guy clearly doesn't want to engage in good faith so neither will I. I want to burn his haircut.

bro forgot about the passage of time

the amount i received in covered health expenses, loan deferment, and robust unemployment payments was honestly life saving. obvs was lucky at the expense of others. it's incredibly frustrating that there's been little or no advocacy for making the COVID relief policies status quo.
