POLITICAL THREAD

[TopCatCal]

We are certainly doing better today than we were when Joe took office.

During the Trump administration we had

1. Record low unemployment among blacks, with record high income
2. Record low unemployment among Hispanics, with record high income
3. 6,000,000 fewer people living in poverty
4. Incomes growing at an 8x faster pace than under Obama/Biden
5. Gasoline in my hometown at only $2.29 a gallon
6. Only 1.4% inflation
7. Trump brokered 4 mid east peace deals
8. Putin/Russia invaded no country while Trump was in office. It's called respect

Now, what was you saying about we're better off today than when Trump was in office?

IDK ... Florida is a pretty dam good state to raise kids. Do those state ratings include FREEDOM? I'm not shitting you ... after being here, when I travel to a blue state (which isn't often thank the one true God), it is like a different country. When people travel here for business, they are amazed at our freedom.

I know it is anecdotal, but Florida right now, blows those "studies" away.

Florida is a unique state. Residents from all over the world, a tourist economy and beaches on 3 sides of a peninsula.
Put DeSantis in Arkansas and he would not be "The Dude" he is.
Serious question... What freedoms is Florida experiencing right now that Ky isn't?
Btw...My son is getting ready to move to Fla for the weather and a kick ass job paying 250k per year.

California is another state with kickass weather.


Why does a uhaul cost more to leave cali than move in?

Why are people fleeing?


They are losing population while illegals are still flowing in unimpeded.

Let that sink in.

“Signed by 40 health officials.” 😂

They know their base loves the appeal to authority. “Experts say” “intel agents say.”

The left are a mix of mentally broken people and evil. Their base can’t think for themselves. They do what they’re told and do not question. They prefer the comfort of a government to be their daddy.

As a president, you are on the hook for job creation. Every president has faced opposition from the other side, can’t use that as an excuse for everything that doesn’t go perfectly for you. You love giving Trump credit for what you say are the good things but anything bad is the Democrats fault, it doesn’t work that way. Trump’s inability to combat Covid, as our nation’s LEADER, at the time caused a horrible crash to our economy, over a million American deaths, and record job loss. He was ineffective as a leader for all Americans and that’s why he lost

Dude, don’t claim others engage in political spin and then spin the hell out of it. You are that which you complain.

 

[Caveman Catfan]

Did you not watch our nation’s leaders take the vaccine on camera in an attempt to prove it’s safe? Trump himself almost died because he didn’t take COVID as seriously as he should’ve. Since when did we stop believing in the success of vaccines? Because Trump and his base said so? And your talk about shooting people is a little sick and shows some serious issues with you. We can disagree and argue on topics but for you to want people that you don’t like to die is pretty disgusting.

Trump almost died? Get serious. He was called a xenophobe by the Dem screw heads when he wanted to shutdown travel. Trump was not perfect by ANY stretch, but your rewriting of history is an unmitigated joke. Spin. Spin. Spin.

The media backing away from the Paul Pelosi story and this story is some scary shat. The media as a watchdog is MIA.

Saw on Fox that the the Fed is saying inflation was higher than expected again this month. It's wild that it's constantly higher than they expected. It's almost like they don't understand what is causing inflation.

If you don’t believe corporate greed is the current greatest driver of inflation, you’re a fool. Economic reporting shows that increased labor and raw material costs are accounting for less than 50% of inflationary rates. Where’s the greater than 50% portion of inflationary increases going? Into corporate profits, which are the highest on record since data began being kept in the 1950’s. So yes, it’s easy to understand what’s driving inflation . . . record CEO pay and record stock buybacks. Corporations are flush with cash that they’ve gotten from price gouging consumers.

The Freedom from State and local income taxes. With a $250,000 income that puts a lot more money in your pocket and you enjoy another freedom.

Your son will like the fact tourist pay the taxes

What was the unemployment rate on Jan 20, 2021? What is it today?
Gas was cheap during the pandemic because nobody was using it. Consumption dropped to the lowest point in nearly 30 years. Oil prices went negative for a period of time due to a glut of oil with no place. Producers stopped producing, wells were capped.
Why would Putin attack if he was getting what he wanted? Trump was weakening NATO, he probably knew he could count on Trump vetoing a Ukrainian application to NATO.
There have been dozens of Middle East peace deals. Until someone deals with the Palestinian problem, there will continue to be unrest in the region.
There was $7T of deficit spending during the pandemic. Pump $7T in any economy over 18 months and inflation will be the result.

I love this argument. Yes, corporations suddenly got greedy on Jan 20, 2021.

They were never greedy monolithic swine before then!

If that is the case, why did they wait until Biden was in office?

The mere fact you can be awarded a PhD for a dissertation on 'grindr', is an absolute joke and an indictment of the entirety of higher education.

Only VH could take that, that way. Kind of like when someone refers to a Cal supporter as Ellen. Good lord, what a clown.

You were fine with bias being inherent in the company, as long as it aligned with your viewpoint. If you’re so triggered by what Elon is saying, maybe you should unfollow him, mute him, or block him.

If the price of raw materials, energy, and labor are not steady and predictable month to month, you have to have a cushion. When the living wage goes from $15 to $25/hr, does the corp wait until $25/hr product is sold to pay the $25/hr employee?

Inflation gets bonkers when everyone starts charging more for their products and services in anticipation of the next jump in x,y,and z expenses. Nobody wants to get burnt. It ratchets up pretty fast.

Some idiots aren't aware of this.

It's the most basic of all knowledge of economics. Double the minimum wage, double the cost of the McDonald's dollar menu and go from there.

Liberals can't understand this simple reality.

Mortgage rates falling back down. GDP going up. Gas back under $3. oil in freefall. Stock Market climbing. Inflation falling. Jobs booming. wages booming Senate control secured. Biden just wins and wins and wins!

What a word salad.

Putin wanted Ukraine. That is a “duh”’fact. He wanted Ukraine when Trump was president. He attacked and won during the Obama administration. Did so again when Biden looked weak.

Oil producers stopped producing because Biden made it difficult and basically said repeatedly he was going to shut the industry down. The Dems, whether it is mining for solar panels, storage batteries, or drilling for oil don’t mind buying from countries who do the dirty work, they just politically don’t want it to happen here. It’s a charade.

After Dem governors shut down the states and killed economies in the name of Covid, the Dem federal congress printed a bunch of new money and pumped it into the economy. The two combined ensured inflation. The Dems did both for politics and virtue signaling.

By the way, Trump predicted NATO’s flawed reliance on Russian energy.
