Keep in mind Biden isn't running the country right now anyways. His advisors and secretaries are. The guys has nothing left upstairs. So a vote for Biden is essentially the same thing we have now. Though what I expect happens is he steps down and Harris takes over. And the other guy I don't see lasting long either, he seems close to having a stroke. So vote for whatever VP sounds good.

When Hitler was planning to invade Czechoslovakia in 1939, he invented the myth that the German inhabitants of the Sudeten region of Czechia are oppressed by the Czechs. A British correspondent who went after the facts, couldn't find any evidence of oppression; but nevertheless all German people whom he met believed it was true -- including the Sudeten Germans themselves! The moral is: There's no point in pointing out lies. Trump supporters would enjoy the booming economy and their new well paying jobs, while still believing that Biden had ruined the economy. They know, because Trump had told them so.

If you look at the job market from before he got into office and today, the job market hasn't recovered. If a company had 2,000 workers, pre-covid, and things were running smoothly, then government mandates cause 1,000 to be fired or quit, you're hurting. After those people left, the older folks at that place retire due to their age and not wanting to keep doing their job because it just got 3x harder to do, so now you have 900 people left to run the place. Now you might get people hired in due to incentives to get new blood in there, but most quit before they've been there a month and more regular people quit. Fast forward 4 years and the place might have 1,700 working there today. The government says they've created jobs because 1,700 people are working there when they compare it to the 900 they had before, but the business is still 300 people short of where they were 4 years ago.

@@ThePredilection "facts" without context. Stock market is up, but fails to mention the 24% loss in revenue from companies that are not publicly traded (which, you know, make up the MAJORITY of businesses). You know, failing to mention the two trillion dollar annual deficit with over 4% CPI. Those facts? Or how every major credit card company is reporting record number charge-offs because Americans now owe more than $1trillion in credit card debt on top of all the other debt, including those that bought cars priced tens of thousands over MSRP at climbing interest rates that they can no longer pay back, so there's a massive recall of cars and a massive wave of defaults that many banks will likely not be able to recover from because those same vehicles are no longer valued at the price they were financed for. This also has trickle down effects for people looking for loans in the future which puts the brakes on spending... which as we know in a capitalist economy is a BAD THING. But let's focus on how good those stock prices are doing...for the investors and inside traders in congress that own stock. Oh let's also say "the housing market is great!" while the housing market continues to cool because those people that bought houses they couldn't afford at interest rates that are too high are now being foreclosed on. Do you know who is coming in to buy these houses? It's not you and me. It's Wallstreet. It will give this illusion of an okay market while also neglecting what increased home values are doing to property taxes...which again, means that homeowners that were able to afford their homes no longer can. The percentage of people who rent rather than own is going up, and those that haven't locked in affordable rates at affordable prices are not going to be buying homes in the foreseeable future. And the job growth? Over the last 4 months, those impressive job numbers have been revised to be over 100,000 jobs less than what was reported. Most of the job growth ISN'T in the private sector, either. It takes just a drop of common sense to know why this is a BAD thing long-term... hell, right now, it's bad in the short term. Why don't you look at other 'facts' instead of what is being parroted here. The only goal the media has right now is to make the current administration look good while the administration does everything in its power to delay the inevitable. It's coming, and boy is it going to hit the ground hard when it does. But let's keep up the illusion so that big bag Trump doesn't take the Whitehouse again (which at this point is almost inevitable).

And no, it does NOT matter to a regular person unless they have stock in a company. The stock is and always has been pure speculation. The only reason is isn't "gambling" is because real returns can be made based on the financial health of a company. But that financial health and success is beholden to investors" emotions and hesitation. Most people don't base their wealth or even standard of living and salary on stocks. Capital gains are just one way of earning money, but you have to have money first to invest before you can turn it around for even more money. And that's something many Americans don't even have the luxury of being able to do that much. People want to see gains realized TODAY. NOT weeks, months, or years from now. They need money to put food on the table now. And only a higher salary guarantees that. Stocks mean nothing if consumers can't afford the products and services that these companies sell.

@thebteamgamingchannel57013 ай бұрын
@@andydrewlinger9301 still not buying it. If travel and demand for oil to fuel said travel went up, it was to match pre-pandemic levels when we were still using our own pipeline and gas was cheap. Fast-forward a few years, the pandemic is over, travel opens back up, but we're not using that pipeline anymore, which makes us more dependent on foreign oil. Combine that with current levels of inflation and there you have it.

I think a lot of this is caused by a (probably deliberate) lack of education in America as to what our politicians actually do. For example, we place an extremely excessive importance on who occupies the presidency. We act like we’re electing a deity that controls our lives. When in reality, the actions of the president have little to no actual effect on our lives. Meanwhile, political positions that DO heavily affect our lives, like state and local legislatures, district attorneys, judges and local sheriffs are almost completely ignored. Again, I think this is partially by design.

Rent and groceries have straight up doubled in many places in the past few years. Bill is of course too rich to notice. Not saying Biden is to blame necessarily, but it is still brutal inflation. Worst I've seen in 4 decades.
@nadiamccall43117 ай бұрын
It's called price gouging and I really hope Biden can do something about it, it's utter bs. Record profits because people are willing to keep buying overpriced crap. Seriously, people just throw away money on the stupidest stuff too. This is why it's hard to listen to people bitching about how poor they are today when they're buying a ten year old the newest Iphone and run out of room for all the toys.

You don’t know what the heck you are talking about. I just checked the numbers going back to 2020 and the overall food inflation rate from 2020 to present is 28.5 %, no where near double. It is people like you that Bill is calling out; those who talk out of their you know what.

Bill's biggest problem is that he still trusts the government data and reports. I feel like he's gotten better in a lot of areas. His interview with Musk was eye opening. But where people like Musk and Rogan acknowledge most of the data is manipulated and there is a clear reason not to trust the government, Bill won't cross that line. Not sure if it's about not risking his base or if he truly believes it.

I'm a strong liberal but I feel like I got stuck in the wrong era. Leftists have massacred the old fashioned (and pragmatic) liberalism and radicalized it while calling themselves liberals as a mask to hide their extremism. They aren't even close to liberalism and it's humiliating that I get lumped up with them. I'm just surprised no one cheered about this particular issue, it's like the audience last night was filled with people who don't believe women should have equal human rights and freedom. Like wtf? And that was a damn novel. Apologies. I guess I had to vent.

It's not weird when you consider the grip extreme feminism has on the left. Sadly, most liberals don't know that feminism and women's rights are not the same thing, just as animal rights and animal welfare are different. Not surprisingly, both feminism and animal rights use the same tactic by making themselves synonymous with moderate positions, all while subtly steering the narrative towards their extreme views. And also not surprisingly, both originated with the same people. I suggest doing a deep dive into feminism and its true history, and especially their core literature. Misandry and misinformation have been there from the start. Support women's rights, but not feminism.

The fact that he’s able to say this while sitting next to Van Jones… Also, I couldn’t care less about where he’s pulling these numbers from. The only numbers I need to know? How many applications I put out vs. interviews I get. The growing number on my credit card debt, vs. the number in my bank account. The numbers on my grocery bill going up vs. the number of items I’ve purchased going down. The price of gas/housing climbing, etc. I was making the same amount of money 4 years ago, and was doing much much better. He wouldn’t know this because dude’s been filthy rich longer than I’ve been alive, and it doesn’t affect him. Bill, try talking to average Americans about how they’re doing instead of your writers team, all your rich buddies, and stop consulting polls/studies from people we know who’s information is unreliable at best, and straight up cooked up at worst.

Notice how Bill didn't understand that the lack of laughter after he said there is no war on women went right over his head? Everyone in that audience disagrees and feels there is certainly a Republican war on women's rights and it has been an overwhelming priority for women voters. States where Trump won by 20 points have voted down any state legislation restricting women's rights. He thought it was about the Afghani women in Burkas.
