We’re headed towards another huge recession.
Yay. Be like number three in what 10 years? Ridiculous.
At this rate there will be a French style revolution in the US.

Trump set up Biden to fail and Putin is making sure he does.
Bernie Sanders has a plan to beat inflation. Tax the billionaires and send $10,000 monthly stimulus checks to the working man

I don’t know about 10k. But I think a couple of more stimulus could do a world of good. Especially for folks still trying to pull themselves out of pandemic losses.
He’s got a hook up. He gets gallons for .50 cents.
He's an embecile. Blind squirrels find nuts from time to time too. Also he tried to subvert democracy as well so he's never getting a lot of people's vote who would otherwise vote Republican. Find someone else.
“Subvert democracy.”
You all spied on the man, created a hoax to try and impeach constantly because you lost despite your corruption, illegally changed election laws to get these extended dates and mail-in votes to cheat your *** off to get this fraud in office then fought to be as least transparent as possible about it.No one legitimately believes this 80 something moron got more votes than any candidate in history. You all are so insane that you wanted to crash the plane just cause you didn’t like the pilot.
And even after all of the destruction your party has done to this country the last two years, you try to gaslight people into thinking it’s alright?

I was a kid in the late 70's and early 80's. Jimmy Carter's 13%-14% annual inflation sucked as did +15% mortgage rates. Biden is Carter 2.0.
No ****. Both want you to own nothing and like it.
How long did they live rent free during the pandemic?
How much did their benefits increase?
…assuming they get benefits.
I don’t have a clue, but it absolutely blows my mind how much people don’t want to work. It must not be worth it to some people, and I assume it’s because they’re getting some good free money.
How many local landlords sold out to larger companies? I know it happened around here. Local couple sold a whole package of rental units to some large out of state company for stupid money.
This whole ordeal was a huge shot in the arm for those who wish to fundamentally change this country….which is what a certain group of elected officials have been screaming about for a long time now.
HInt.... 2021 and 2022 aren't going to be any better. Inflation is too many dollars chasing too few goods. You cant increase money in circulation like this without consequences.
I would do that if I could put the blinders on and not see what’s right in front of our faces. Some here are pretty good at that, I’m just not one of them.
I also do not recall you saying “in my opinion” when telling me I’m wrong…
Oh, ok champ. Good to know someone’s got it all figured out. I’ll be sure to consult going forward.
Yeah. If dude has 20/20 vision of the future, I'd appreciate some stock tips.
Weird that you think I’m predicting the future when discussing what’s happening today. It’s almost as if you have no idea what you’re talking about.
People allowed themselves to be duped over social issues that don’t even exist. If they voted for this don’t cry about it. And the ones tha LT literally move out of states that push this nonsense and end up voting the same way in alternative states need to be dealt with in some way. They’re just ruining everything.
Every politician's agenda is to stay in power.
You should fact check your spelling "imbecile"
If you morons cared about policies and results as much as your emotional ********, we could fix this country. The establishment will not tolerate an America first outsider. It impedes their corruption. So corrupt, incompetence is what we’ll continue to get because it’s what you idiots want.
Paying $15 an hour at McDonalds might be a large part of the problem for your chicken nuggets.
Wages have skyrocketed because nobody wants to work. Some prices won't come down because the aren't going to decrease the pay. The middle class that isn't getting huge raises like the lower wage earners, will get shafted. Meanwhile, the lower class will enjoy a short lived raise since the price of everything has shot up thus keeping them in the same spot they were before the crazy wage increases.

That's the dumbest idea ever.
You are an absolute idiot.
Easy way to know you’re an idiot? When Texans and Floridians are moving out of their states and into states controlled by your type, let me know. When Arizonans are moving out of their state and into California at alarming rates let me know. When Tennesseans are moving out and relocating in Illinois let me know.
I’m really having a hard time believing people can be as stupid as you but you keep proving me wrong.
Washington DC has a minimum wage of $15. A 20-piece McNuggets (no meal, just the "chicken") is $7.49 before taxes at the random DC store I selected.
Now in Cheyenne, Wyoming, which has a minimum wage of $7.25, which is equal to the federal minimum wage, a $20 piece McNuggets at a random McDonald's location before taxes is $6.59.
So in DC, it only costs 90 cents more (or 13.66% more) for the same 20-piece McNuggets that you can get in Cheynne, Wyoming, yet a McDonald's employee earning minimum wage in DC makes more than double what the someone doing the same job in Cheyenne, Wyoming, does.
20 piece McNuggets where I live is 6.19 and I believe our McDonald’s start at $14 an hour
Also, this. I had been wondering why the labor shortage persists despite the unemployment rate being like the lowest it has been in 50 years, appears it's because of the cutdown in immigrants coming in.

It's $6.99 here and the VA minimum wage is $9. Don't know what they actually start employees at, though I do know the local chain food establishments that have always paid like **** still have been pretty hesitant to raise prices around here.
But I've also heard this is a chicken shortage? Probably has more than anything else to do with higher prices for chicken nuggets.
Ya I think the chicken shortage has a lot to do with it - a small bag of Tyson chicken tenders used to be 6-7 bucks now it’s around 10
Yep. Bird flu ravaged a bunch of chicken farms.
Interestingly, a 20-piece McNugget is only $6.00 in San Francisco and $6.19 in Honolulu, two of the most expensive places in the US. Wonder how they manage to be so much less than where I live??
Chicken nuggets are made with white chicken meat that comes from the breast or pectoral muscles of the birds, and other chicken parts can be mixed in as well. Tendons, bones, nervous and connective tissues, and fat can all be ground up together before being shaped into those bite-sized pieces. One study found that chicken nuggets contained more fat than meat, "along with... bone, nerve, and connective tissue."Y’all think there’s actual chicken in there.
Weird. Marx said that the middle class was buffer for the poor to revolt against the rich. If you want a Marxist revolution you have to get rid of your middle class.
“nobody wants to work” is an odd argument when the unemployment rate is 3.5%.
