Default Country, obviously.
Good luck getting him to honestly explain why those things are the way they are.
Why are those things the way they are?
The economy is booming, but you also need to negotiate with your employer and switch jobs if needed. Unless your boss automatically gave your 10%+ annual adjustment, you are slowly falling behind.
“Yes, the economy is booming for your employer, and the country will continue to bend over backwards to ensure this continues. Yes, you’re going to fall behind ever more as extraction of wealth from Workers continues to stretch you thinner and thinner.”
I am reminded of the old joke.
A worker pulls into the parking lot of his office. His boss pulls up next to him in a new sports car. The worker goes, “Wow! New car? Looks amazing.” The boss goes, “It is! And if you work hard, hit your targets, and put in some overtime, I can buy a new one next quarter.”
Yeah, those kids in poverty need to nut up and ask their boss for a raise.

It is, though. Wealth and power are concentrating at the top of megacorporations and billionaires and bringing in record profits, just as they’re supposed to under capitalism.
“We NeEd To RaIsE taXeS”
They are right, it is booming, just not for us.
Thats a fact most people should learn, most systems, but esepcially the economy, aint working for you and me.
Oh it’s booming. It’s just not booming for you.
As George Carlton said: “it’s a big club and you ain’t in it!”
“The Economy” = The Stock Market. Nothing else, no other metric.
Okay, first:
People got ‘thrown off’ Medicaid because it was temporarily expanded under the pandemic, and lots of the people that qualified under the expansion no longer qualify now that it’s expired. Yeah, I’m in favor of Medicaid for all–or Medicare, I can’t keep them straight–but this is disingenuous.
Second, 45M people in 1.8T student loan debt is a problem, sure, but who keeps blocking forgiving that debt? If you think that not voting for the guy that did everything in his power to cancel that debt is going to fix that problem, well, you probably shouldn’t have gone to higher ed. in the first place, because it didn’t help your critical thinking skills.
Is the economy we have now–under a Democratic president, with a Democratic Senate and a very slim Republican majority in the House–better or worse than it would be under a Republican (Trump) president, Republican Senate, and Republican House? Do you really think that all of the things listed in this short, misleading blurb would be fixed if Biden loses the election? Do you think that your protest vote for a Green or Dem Soc candidate is going to improve anything, given that we don’t have ranked-choice voting in national elections?

I disagree, tell us how great the economy is on a logged server with names and locations for when we celebrate this century’s guillotine day.
Please label yourselves as members of the cabal that let things sink this far so we can check our way down that list efficiently.
No, tell them how it is. The economy IS booming. That fact just doesn’t have anything to do with the average Joe. Teach them ‘the economy’ isn’t on their side.

Did the propagandaists finally get the go ahead to start pedaling Genocide Joe now lmfao?
It’s so pathetic.
Genocide Joe is a proper name for someone who is a devoted Zionist.
Does he mean 138% as 38% more than previously, or 238% of what it used to be?
The latter. They’re saying the rate is over double what it was before. It apparently fell to 5.2% in 2021 and jumped to 12.4% in 2022. That 7.2% jump is 138% of the 2021 value making it 238% of what it used to be, or as he post said it a 138% increase
