“What can be, unburdened by what has been “

There were no issues with jobs, hiring, spending in 2019-2021 though. In fact it was a lot of "over hiring" and not being able to fill positions. The downturn didn't come until 2022.

An economy can come down in 2 years but not turn around in 2 years?

Yes, and that was right around the time the inflation surge started. It was a worldwide issue that stemmed from a lot of issues from supply chain disruption to flat out price gouging.

And yes, it takes more than 2 years to turn around an economy. Economic forecasters said we were headed for a major recession but thankfully avoided it because of Bidens policies.

Avoided........? Oh Ok

Butch Ware is a Green Party member, of course he's gonna say that.

It's naive to think that either party will be doomed for more than 4 to 8 years at a time.

Especially if Republicans can't generate enthusiasm without Trump on the ballot.

I wish it was true

I feel like what sucks about this era is that because of money nothing will ever change but for the worst

Avoided........? Oh Ok

Yes avoided. It could have been a lot worse. Prices are coming down. Housing prices are still out of control but that requires a different set of solutions.

Tim Walz governs over a state with good salary/housing cost ratio. You can rent a brand new luxury apartment in downtown Minneapolis for less than $1500 a month, partly a result of the city/state's pro housing construction policies

Yes avoided. It could have been a lot worse. Prices are coming down. Housing prices are still out of control but that requires a different set of solutions.

Ok

 

[Micky Mikey]

Ok

Ok then.

Has it hit Americans yet that they basically destroyed their future for many years to come? shyt got me sad and angry all at the same time because other countries will copy.

Think about it. Politicians can lie with impunity. They can run campaigns with 0 respect for their opponents or the opposing party. They can skirt and flat out break the law no problem. A non-president can cavort with allies and interfere with wars, elections, etc. Trump and Netanyahu shyt is disgusting. Striking down bills to help people for political gain is disgusting behavior. Dude getting the military to go after his detractors... How did all this shyt become acceptable? A convicted felon who caused an insurrection...had ties to Epstein, was found liable for sexual abuse...bruh ran for president to avoid prison and it fukking worked.

shyt has jumped the shark. Integrity and honesty will no longer exist in politics. I'm not even going to get into this clown appointing 2 more judges. So much progress is going to be rolled back, so many people gonna be fukked. I don't think folk truly understand what is about to happen. Good luck

I can't ever remember a candidate like Trump. Can you?

 

[chineebai]

The classic way Julius Caesar used divide and conquer. A tale as old as time and people will always fall for it.

 

[Silkk]

I can't ever remember a candidate like Trump. Can you?

He's the worst piece of shyt that has ever been president in my opinion.


However, There's been at least 30-40 something other pieces of shyt that have been president.


There's no honor amongst none of them MFs and I'm sure they're all more friendly behind closed doors than they'd like for the public to know.

Its soul crushing. The best we can do is survive these next four years and hope the elections in 2026 and 2028 will be legitimate and fair. But we just voted in an actual fascist regime whom I doubt won't go out their way to make elections less fair and transparent to cling on to power going forward. By voting for this man or not voting entirely, millions of people may have put us all in a position where civil strife and disobedience is the ONLY means to move past this.

Countless lives are now endangered unnecessarily. They're endagered because of the actions of 1/3 of the electorate and the other 1/3 who're walking around this bytch completely fukking clueless and don't vote. MAGA isn't the majority of the country. They are a minority. But because roughly 80 million eligible voters don't vote in this country we are in this predicament. Think about that. 80 million fukking people.
