I seem like the fool since I voted for Biden and it’s certainly destroying my savingsBentleyspop said:hippiemom = goodness0 -
No, they were too old to swing a belt.brianlux said:RoleModelsinBlood31 said:Would any of you guys have Biden working in your business? (If you own one). Serious Q. I can’t think of a single spot he could work in. He’s in the most powerful position in the world yet he couldn’t do basic data entry at an entry level position, let alone anything blue collar. Think of other politicians- most if not all could be imagined working in a different setting. Biden doesn’t even know where the exit is after he reads the teleprompter and calls from his list of pre chosen media. Kinda unsettling.Absolutely. My wife had people much further gone than Biden work at her bookstore.Jesus, the perception some of you have of the elderly. Did you grandparents beat you or something? Fuuuuuuuck!0 -

Oh that’s right. I forgot dems are just victims of circumstance. How about the extra payments to everyone that didn’t need them? It’s freakin nuts that we can’t find a freakin leader or party that lets everyone be themselves at home and stops fucking around with other peoples $mrussel1 said:

So the first two stimulus and PPP had no effect on your savings, but the last one did. Makes sense.cincybearcat said:

You can say, oh blah blah better than Trump, but elections are choices. You had three of them. Biden, Trump or stay home. You can whine and complain about your choices but that doesn't change them. And if you think that the Feb stimulus is why oil is $109 a barrel, then you should go back to watching pillow commercials and how to stop the steal.0 -
President Biden should have popped Putin on the ritz on the nose and told him not to invade the Ukraine, right after he went to China and made Xi stop the lock downs and ramp up their manufacturing but not until after he personally unloaded all the container ships before he fires all the CEOs who are gouging US consumers, buying back stocks with their record profits before he goes door to door and kicks all those lazy ass Americans in the ass and tells them to go back to work for their measly pre Covid wages and shitty working conditions and commutes, just before he goes to Saudi and personally pumps their oil to record outputs.

Hey man, do you think that's why oil is $109? It's just about as silly as blaming inflation on the last stimulus, but it's even more obvious. You have made no argument as to how the Feb stimulus is the cause for inflation, yet you blame Biden and that's the policy you pointed to. That's the stupid argument right there. It's the Fox News argument that has no empirical basis. Come back with something rooted in data and then we can go from there.cincybearcat said:

My only thought is would people be so “it’s not the presidents fault” during the last year if Trump was in office? That’s not me blaming Biden. It is BAD right now yet the Trump thread has more action than this one. It just feels like people have a real problem being critical sometimes of their “team”.mrussel1 said:

I'm old enough and studied enough economics and watched the cyclical nature of the market to know that the president has little influence on the broader market. So to your question as to whether I would blame Trump, no. I would not. I do and have been critical of the 2017 tax cuts because they ballooned the deficit and did not increase GDP at all. That's on him because he and the Rs sold it that way.nicknyr15 said:

BTW, inflation decreased last month. This just hit the wire. Inflation is almost all driven by energy costs. Everything trickles from there. Until the war is over, I don't see how energy comes down materially, therefore prices likely won't either.0 -

My only thought is would people be so “it’s not the presidents fault” during the last year if Trump was in office? That’s not me blaming Biden.

Hey man, do you think that's why oil is $109? It's just about as silly as blaming inflation on the last stimulus, but it's even more obvious. You have made no argument as to how the Feb stimulus is the cause for inflation, yet you blame Biden and that's the policy you pointed to. That's the stupid argument right there. It's the Fox News argument that has no empirical basis. Come back with something rooted in data and then we can go from there.cincybearcat said:

Interesting stuff, M! I'm fascinated that you get so many miles out of a truck. I had no idea! Odd that more vehicles don't get that kind of mileage. In the late 70's I had an old Ford Econoline van. That thing was a work horse and must have had a good 400 to 500K miles on it and was still going strong when I gave it to my brother in his time of need. Nowadays, I'm hoping to squeeze 300 to 400K out of my Prius. Everything else I've had crapped out before that. And here you are with trucks getting up to 900K! Amazing!
