You just can’t dismiss the fact that this is the best economic covid bounce back in the world.
What does the economy mean when real world things like housing and food skyrocketed?
For regular people economy isn’t GDP, inflation rate, output, or whatever other academic metric that tells us we are doing great. People are actually struggling out here working extra jobs, paying more for transport, dealing with price gouging—which they did finally get a handle on, but didn’t speak loudly enough about to. They keep touting unemployment rate, but if you learn about unemployment rate it’s not an accurate number for a bunch of reasons. We know people get scrubbed off after 26 weeks since they can’t apply anymore. They also call up a random number of businesses to gauge a total.
Trump is not going to do good, but Biden has fukking sucked.
But the economy is just one part. He decided to end Covid benefit programs, which I think is really why Biden started to become unpopular. Americans are now footing the bill for Ukraine in their failing war with Russia. We are also paying for a genocide.
Instead of taking time out to do policing reform, they actually doubled down and have the police more money.
I can go on but this presidency has been terrible.
