What gets me is that so many Americans fell for so much bullshit for such a long time and still believe Joe Biden is ruining the economy. They should go the way of the Darwin Awards.
That’s what P2025 said up front they would do, along with destroying the government and lowering the population to 100 white Christian males (read Christian Nationalists) and trad wives.
We are not rich, but we are among the "haves". I splurged today on tri-tip from Costco at $9.99 a pound. We give a lot to food banks and soup kitchens and José Andres WCK. Our sons are Millennials. The older of them, who holds an MBA, told me years ago, " Mom, we will never have what you have." It is systemic and we must, I will, do whatever I can to change the system rigged toward the rich and the morbidly rich.
I came here to say that. My mid-40s, hard-working son laments that he'll never own a house, and the best I can do is tell him he might inherit mine someday. Owning a (modest) home and (modest) vehicles outright is how we survive retirement now, but will savings that seem quite comfortable by Biden standards get us through future medical bills and assisted living someday and leave anything for the kids? It's discomforting and unpredictable. I do give more to charity now, and support some of the channels, but that's a dribble compared to the need. If I don't outlive Trump, I'm coming back to haunt him.
If one of my kids said that to me I would burst out crying. I am so sorry for this situation. I am an old lady who will be out of this, but I really hurt for those coming up.
All these power center for AI, should be paid in full. We nèd to go back to green and clean energy. My ConEd bill went from $70 to $237 a month. This was the new yearly budget where the monthly payment is calculated. That's insane, all because the windmills and the solar panels were not to be used, in this case NY. We are now paying for these AI Power Centers electricity on top of our bill. Outrageous. Let the 1% be totally responsible for their own bills, they are the Welfare Queens in this country.
The AI should have to pay for much of the cost of setting up their own generation and distribution, but it can’t all be done with green and clean energy, unless you include nuclear in that mix. Right now, we just don’t have the infrastructure (I’m talking transmission lines) even if we do have enough generation, which we desperately need even if it comes from fossil fuels (which if you use carbon capture, are close to the same CO2 outputs as solar if you include the full lifecycle).
Trump’s traveling roadshow wouldn’t happen to be hitting every place he has a golf course would it?
It’s the ECONOMY STUPID I know we have heard that before. The difference being the last time we heard it that republican didn’t have a hypnotized bunch of groupies that had our whole government under their thumb and a Supreme Court that is so set on doing what they feel is politically correct they have completely forgotten about the law.
There are people who know that things are worse. Because there orange god tells them it’s not they just repeat that and walk around staring straight ahead and probably won’t snap out of it until they are being kicked out of their homes to join the unhoused. If then.
They just keep smiling and trying to explain to their kids why they are living in a field because they really owned the libs.
I wonder how people can believe that this administration inherited all of these problems from the previous administration, when it was this administration that passed the BBB. I wonder how they can blame Biden for the increase of food prices, when he is no where near the scene. I wonder whose fault it is that there are tariffs and insurance prices that most people won't be able to afford in January. I wonder whose fault it is that the rich will pay less taxes than the poor. Biden didn't do this, but Trump did. I wonder when I go to the grocery store and I have to skip what I want and only get what I absolutely need, so that I can pay my bill at the checkout whose fault it is. I know that I didn't have that problem when Biden was president. It's starting to feel like rationing during a war, but not because of a war, but because of Trump's tariff's that are making our country so rich, but where are those funds going? Has anyone seen them? Oh, by the way, those tariffs are your money, not his. What you are paying in tariffs, you could be using to pay your bills, or be able to buy food. Since there is no proof of where the tariff money is going and seems to be no bank statement available for them, I suspect that they could be going into our dear leaders pockets because he is so poor that he needs more money any way he can get it. I used to buy extra food every month to put in a food panty at church, but no longer can do it because I barely can cover my own food costs. Who knows, I may end up being one of those that will have to rely on that food panty that I used to support.
We need more innovation and deregulations for the economy to improve. However, AI will come at the worst time for most people and we will be forced to either have some sort of jobs programs or AI. Make the AI companies pay for it.
If you are in your 20's or living paycheck to paycheck, Trump doesn't give a shit. He has always been an entitled brat who thinks he doesn't need to learn anything because he's so smart he can charm his way through and scam anyone stupid enough to trust him. He only "wins" by cheating. Always has. Always will. The Nov blue sweep was a teaser. He will screw with the midterms, and shut the country down if he needs to rather than ever leave office.

Trick(le) Down Economics led us down this path over 40 years ago, and the trick is that so few know that we are still being tricked.
Because they believe the bullshit lies.
That’s what P2025 said up front they would do, along with destroying the government and lowering the population to 100 white Christian males (read Christian Nationalists) and trad wives.
That many huh? Yup I guess 200 people could support the whole country.
Correction: 100 million.

I like the haunting idea. Thank you, Antoinette!

Trump will blame it all on President Biden
That’s the Project 2025 plan.
AI as currently constructed is not taking any jobs. Companies are saying that is why they are laying off people but they are full if shit

Luckily at the first sign of tariffs i put all my money into cigarettes and gas station dick pill companies
Recession proof, baby. I suggest you all do the same
The Gen's are in trouble. They don't even realize it.

It's always about the grift

Good graphic, Mockler!
Destroying? Dude from my vantage point, it's done. Time to burn it all down and start over. America's gonna have debts to pay when this is all over.
