Years and years of politicians celebrating that they reduced inflation by X%, boosted the economy, added some number of new jobs, etc etc.

Anyway, homes and rent are unaffordable, wages are stagnant, healthcare costs are rising, grocery bills have ballooned since 2021, student debt and college costs continue to rise.

I don’t care about the first list when nothing is actually affordable even after working multiple jobs. The first politician to address the real issues will be the most popular elected official in decades.

Don’t take my word for it, ask the majority of American, particularly younger generations, who continue to be f*cked over!

It’s crazy to me hearing Boomers and Millennials talk about what they wanted to be when they grew up. Being Gen Z, most of us have resigned to the fact that we will be poor for the rest of our lives unless some miracle of biblical proportion happens, a revolution occurs and the structures of government and economy are fundamentally altered, or we enter into a relationship with an unhealthy power balance. Owning a bed with a headboard looks like wealth and luxury that we’ll never be able to have. Actually OWNING a house?? Unimaginable. Being in a financial state where we don’t have the constant threat of hunger and destitution hovering over our heads? Nearly impossible. We aren’t afraid of the pain involved in a health crisis, we’re afraid of the expense. Yet I live in the greatest country in the world?

Don't forget the reason the U.S. is supporting Israel's genocide of Palestine - hell, 90% of the reason they ever get involved into something in the Middle East is for ulterior purposes regarding oil.

That and the Ben Gurion Canal project, which you can learn more about:

Also this short video explaining the canal's significance and full history in summary:

To quote the article: "...a 22-year-old Black college student...told the New York Times he hasn’t ruled out supporting the presumptive GOP nominee, either. That’s because he remembers his teen years under Trump as a time when a lot of things were a lot better than he sees them now — especially the economy.

“I don’t want to say it was just because he was president, but everything was definitely cheaper,” Fenuku told a reporter. “We weren’t just handing out money to other countries.”

In case anyone is sympathizing with this line of thought: The economy fluctuates. Your rights shouldn't. Furthermore, ANY president, has limited control over the economy. Biden is dealing with a post-pandemic economy, and companies that are cooperating with each other in price-gouging.

A single president is not going to be able to fix that, whether Republican or Democrat. Democrats are at least amenable to holding companies accountable. Meanwhile, Republicans are supporting anti-worker propaganda.

This should show you enough that Trump is not pro-worker or for 'the little people'. He doesn't want you to be able to fight for wages that allow you to live. He's for 'management rights'. He doesn't want the economy to get better for everyday people. He wants businesses to be able to do what they've always been doing; getting rich off other people's hard work.

What's a MAGA zombie to do when the economy is not just good but is even improving beyond good?

The Department of Labor's stats for January, released on Friday, showed greater US job growth than expected AND a rise in hourly wages. The US economy added 353,000 jobs in January, almost twice as many as forecast, in “stunning” figures that led investors to slash expectations for interest rate cut in March. Economists had expected a 180,000 jobs increase for last month, according to an LSEG survey. Tom Simons, US economist at Jefferies, described the figures as “stunning numbers” that left him “near speechless”.

Not only were the January figures strong, but the November and December figures were revised upward based on data still being analyzed.

Friday’s jobs report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics also showed that US workers’ average hourly wages grew 0.6 per cent to $34.55 — up 4.5 per cent over the past 12 months. Revised figures in the report indicated that the US had added 333,000 jobs in December, up from a first estimate of 216,000. The figure for November was also upgraded, by a more moderate 9,000 to 182,000.

Donald Trump once claimed that he created "the greatest economy in the history of the world." Typical Trumpian bullshit from the guy who told over 30,000 documented lies during his term.

Trump was the first president since Herbert "Great Depression" Hoover to leave office with a net loss in the number of American jobs,

In terms of percentage of jobs, Trump looks yet worse. Even G.W. Bush had a tiny increase – being saved by the fact that he left office before most of the effects of his Great Recession kicked in.

This Washington Post chart was published in January 2021.

Some people bizarrely think Republicans are better for the economy - but stats simply don't support that. The Republican economy is probably better for billionaires who got enormous tax breaks from Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump.

A second Biden term would probably place him in the same territory as LBJ, Truman, and Bill Clinton for job growth.

Yes, Trump is actually hoping that you, his followers and millions of other American families suffer devastating financial harm in 2024, like the Great Depression of 1929.

He literally wants to "Make America Suffer Again", simply to benefit his own selfish ego.

Trump is not the patriot he pretends to be. His desire to terminate the U.S. Constitution and his attempts to overthrow American democracy are well documented facts.

When an American presidential candidate has the same hopes and schemes as America's enemies — something is very, VERY wrong.

Media Alt-Centrists in Disarray

  When I first saw this Tweet (Xeet?), my eye was drawn to "Dems should pursue working-class voters of all races." It's a great example of something that is simultaneously (a) alt-center conventional wisdom and (b) utterly inane. What are the sorts of policies Dems should pursue to working-class voters of all races? Answer: the ones they're already supporting!  The difference between talking and delivering. pic.twitter.com/mb6bp65eKV — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) August 31, 2023 Price negotiations for prescription drugs is a great, obvious example of a policy that's geared to the interest of working-class voters of all races. Standing with the incipient wave of labor mobilization is another. The infrastructure bill was yet another. All of these are centerpiece items of the Democratic Party's economic agenda. But the alt-center punditry acts as if they don't exist. The "advice" on offer is "do what you're already doing, but make me pay attention to it." And one cannot help but think that the price the pundits have put on "make me pay attention to it" is "stop distracting me by also supporting policies that are distinctively to the benefit of specific historically marginalized communities." At the same time, there is a separate vapidity in the "advice" that Biden shouldn't run for reelection. Again, as advice this is just terrible: Biden has a proven electoral track record and has already beaten Trump once. There's no universe where a chaotic primary free-for-all would actually be healthy for the Democratic Party or the broader prospect of ensuring that Trump or any of his lackeys stay out of the White House. The desire for "a real primary" is just thinly-disguised thirst for the good old days of "Dems in disarray" and the chaotic intraparty knife fights that aren't happening on the GOP side because virtually all of Trump's "challengers" can't help but cozy up to him (with a not-so-subtle wink to the various factions within the Democratic Party whose definition of a "real primary" excludes any primary where their preferred candidate doesn't march to victory). Finally, "faculty lounge" politics is also a meaningless phrase. If it's meant to refer to the notion that Democratic party politics take their cues from whatever petition is currently being passed around the Wesleyan anthropology department email list, it's delusional. If it's meant to be a general referent to so-called "culture war" politics, then it's horribly outdated -- we are long past the days where the main "culture" wedge issues favored Republicans over Democrats. Republicans are getting absolutely blitzed on reproductive rights as their radical campaigns to imprison, maim, and murder women are predictably reviled. And their anti-LGBTQ agenda doesn't fare much better. Democrats have a lot of room to punish Republicans for their extremism here, and absolutely should. Biden should run for reelection, and in the process will no doubt trounce token primary opposition. He should promote his policies which will improve the lives of working class voters of all races, and he should absolutely torch Republicans for their unabashed extremism in desiring to take American "culture" back to the 19th century. via The Debate Link https://ift.tt/zVgUnOJ
