The Biden/Harris Administration Accomplishments Thread

Now would be a prime time to roll out those new electric trucks for long hauls , to stave off these enormous price hikes we are all about to see that has anything to do with diesel . 🤷‍♂️

Yep, they would be perfect right now. 3 hours (maybe) of rolling and 10 hours of charging, nothing like a $250k+ truck sitting idle to make a man smile.
 
We all know that your typical Biden voter is low IQ/low information. I'm curious though about the number of uber idiots we actually have in this country. I'm defining these people as those that currently approve of his performance and think the country is going in the right direction. From a recent Reuters poll this would be around 42%. I found on another website that the number of registered voters in the US is about 214M. Doing the math, this would be about 90M people that are totally out of touch with reality. If you apply the 42% to the entire population of 331M, the number would be about 139M (this includes people under voting age so not a good number).

It really amazes me at how far we have gone backwards as a country. Will the upcoming recession/depression wake people up? I don't know. Don't see much hope though with the current numbers. The polls should be around 10% approval. All of this is assuming the 40%+ is accurate.

It will translate to higher prices for products that we all buy. Another contributor to the oncoming recession/depression. Joe is killing it (literally)!

Dems (and some others) will never understand that energy cost increases are an economy killer. The thing is that it's so easy to see and understand. For most of us it's like watching a slow motion train wreck ... again. Even taxes aren't as all encompassing as energy cost.
 
Can you provide examples?

Sorry, but I do not want to work that hard for you. I would ask if there are examples which are not efforts to evade the true facts. I should say that I do not know her posts very well. My impression is that she's all over the board.

Work that hard? So you can't just name any off the top of your head?

That is correct. I do not fixate or work that hard, here. Short visits are more my thing.

You've worked harder avoiding this question than you would have to in order to answer it.

It seems if you are going to call someone a liar you should be willing to back up the claim.

So what have they accomplished?
 
If in fact the statistical anomalies were even remotely similar to getting heads 99 times out of 100, you'd have a point.
But the 'anomaly' was more like heads 62 times and tails 38. But Trump was an anomaly - so that would have to be factored in.
Have you seen the movie 2000 Mules yet?
 
I went to the grocery store today and a can of Luck's baked apples that cost $1.79 last year, now is either out of stock consistently or the new price is $2.19. That's an increase of more than 22%. There was another item I looked at had a similar increase. The 2 liter sprite. It had a price tag of $2.19 in Kroger. Last year these were still around $1.50. Take this holistically to most of the items on your grocery list and you see a big decrease in buying power.

I will have a Part 2 at some point regarding government spending, inflation, food shortages and illegal immigration.

Inflation is hurting women at the grocery store. Some are eating less in order to feed their families.
Federal food benefits have not kept up, and food pantries are also starting to feel the impact.

The price sticker startled Tammy Ferrell. She looked at the variety pack of FritoLay chips again and again. Her forehead wrinkled. Surely, she must have misunderstood—the chips used to be $12, but the sticker read $17.

Around her, everything else had new stickers, too—the dairy, the produce, the meat. She left Costco without the turkey wings her family loved, without meat at all. She thought of how she would explain it to her grandsons.

As the weeks went on and prices continued to rise, Ferrell’s family began eating noodles instead of meat. They stretched what was in their pantry, walking to the store instead of driving to avoid paying skyrocketing gas prices. It was turning into a nightmare, she said.

Ferrell is raising her four grandkids between the ages of 6 and 13 by herself. Keeping a stable job while caring for them is difficult—she’s lost jobs because she has taken time off to care for the kids. They have no wiggle room financially. When they’ve been short on food in the past couple of months, it’s Ferrell who goes hungry. “I’m the one who lacks, no matter what—I’m the one who lacks,” said Ferrell, 60. “Inflation has really killed me.”

When inflation hits the grocery store, it’s women who feel the blow. And it’s women who have less room to adjust.

In March, prices ballooned 8.5 percent over the previous year, with the steepest hikes on gas, shelter and food. In a regular year, single women spend as much as 30 percent more than single men on most grocery items—the same items that are among those with the highest inflation increase, according to a 19th analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data. (BLS analyzes expenditures for single men and women only.)

Vol Main bloviates and then when asked to back up his assertions says “I’m not going to do your research.” It’s funny. He once demanded $10k to provide evidence for a claim he himself made.

Lol it's like arguing with my girlfriend.

"You're wrong!"
"how?"
"you figure it out!"

Maybe people could manage their finances better or find another job? Or maybe get a second job? I mean that's what some people in here have recommended.
