Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.

[@Janise-pg8yr]

With the US dollar losing value to inflation and other currencies gaining traction, uncertainty looms. Yet, many still trust in the Dollar's perceived safety. Worried about my $420,000 retirement savings losing value, I seek alternative security for my money.

[@Martin-qm2lg]

Biden had a weeks rest, ample time to prepare and all the conditions requested for the debate. Biden is physically and mentally ailing and declining and that is undeniable.

[@TomLoveday-y7y]

I think the party was well aware how bad Biden was too, and manipulated for an early debate to force the issue before it was too late. You can't blame Biden to keep doubling down on what has worked so far. Biden has been gaffing mindless gibberish all along and nothing came of it. The simple difference is the senial gaffing and gibberish went on for over an hour straight instead of the short clips that media ignored, disappeared and denied. Big Tech suppressed this too. Biden is done and no longer matters, he just does not know it yet.

11 day jet lag, did he fly to Pluto? And is that where KJP, the "liar in chief" in from?

[@Neil-i6r]

It doesn't take 12 days to recover from jet lag. That international trip ended 12 days before the debate. What happened to I had a cold lie? If he did have a cold, did it last for 2 years. It is hard to have dementia and not have a telepropter to tell him what to say. Just having a bad night is an indication that his dementia is at the early stages and will be getting worse.

Really ? I’m a Biden supporter but to blame it on a cold, and the next day give the speech in NC with no effect is nonsense. To Blame it on travel schedule when after his trip he spent days at Camp David to prep is ridiculous. This sounds like Trump excuses and not appropriate for a man like Joe Biden.

[@bytemuncher1]

The dude is a dystopian Orwellian meat puppet and his hivemind followers would vote for a tomato if the TV told them to. With that said, if I were wealthy and owned a lot of assets I'd probably support him, and Dems in general, as inflation may be crippling for middle America, but the wealthy welcome it.

Uncle Joe is also super human. Bare with me ok. When he travels West to East (losing time) he can get off AF1 and function perfectly fine the next day (OK it looked like he malfunctioned but that?was just edited clips ftom the evil right wing media) but when he goes East to West (gaining tine) he suffers so much Jet-Lag he has to rest up for almost teo weeks.
