Yes, they got inflation to increase more than I ever could.
This is really bad for the union bosses.
How did you know if any of the numbers from previous administrations were true? Because NPR told you?
NPR stopped doing basic editing years ago.
That baseless. There's no evidence of that.
They always parroted the Biden-Harris regime. 🤷♂️
Well, they did manage to make inflation skyrocket, get Afghanistan taken over by the Taliban and get Ukraine invaded. So, they did indeed undo a lot from the previous years.
Were job prospects actually better when Joe Biden was president?
Joe Biden was president for four years and for two of those years Democrats controlled both houses of Congress.
What makes it hard to find a good job nowadays? (I'm thankful that a found a great job in engineering and it's working out well.)
I'm curious. What did you study in college and what kind of job are you trying to get into?
What kind of education did you get and what career did you go into?
Are there a lot of Christian nationalist fascists in charge of Washington DC policing since 2011?
And of course Obama's disregard for the Constitution.
The auction of an iconic lightsaber opens up rare opportunity for Star Wars fans. NPR's Andrew Mambo speaks with Propstore COO Brandon Alinger for more details.
The point is that you're already paying for part of policing in Washington DC.
Same thing with cars. They cost more, but have more reliability, safety and technology than they did decades ago.
In the early 1950s, one third of houses didn't even have full indoor plumbing. Houses were 1,000 square feet and didn't have central air conditioning. Better houses do cost more. If you want to buy a house equivalent to one from the 1950s or 1980s you'd pay a lot less.
Personal income has been going up for decades. How is that less stable?
One of the incidents against the church happened when Obama was president and one happened two months after Trump was sworn in. Are you trying to imply that the Washington DC city government is fascist and has been for many years? Why exactly do you expect fascists to protect a church?
You're already paying for the Capitol Police, Park Police, FBI, etc.
I don't think so. Young people have lots of technical skills, more ability to change locations and adapt than ever before. The young people I work with (engineering) are very impressive and they'll be earning a lot more by the time I retire.
Criminals have attacked the church. Fascists have not.
And there are always new companies to invest in. It's not like America is going to run out of stock.
But stocks for successful companies have always gone up. And those companies use that money to make new products.
Yes, Yemen has a Minister of Tourism, but it's not the person mentioned in this article. That was the fake Houthi minister. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministr...

So, if I buy $100 worth of stock for my retirement, how is that at the expense of other people?
Why is compounding wealth so people can pay for their own retirement a bad thing? All generations should be maximizing compound interest and investment. I mean, would putting LESS money in my own 401k be more moral?
But most Baby Boomers aren't wealthy and they did a lot to make America better. They vastly reduced racism and sexism and invented lots of cool technology. And I learned a lot from them in my career. I think as a generation, Baby Boomers are pretty cool.
Is that kind of savings bad?
I'm Gen X (or as the historians call us, The Awesomest Generation) most of my retirement savings are in stocks and my house. My stocks are increasing in value and I'll eventually spend a lot of that when I retire and eventually I'll sell the house. I imagine lots of Baby Boomers do the same thing.
Then it's not really related to Baby Boomers.
Thanks for sharing that. A life of hard work and raising kids is worthwhile even if it's not financially successful.
Yeah, inflation has been pretty high for most of the past 4.5 years.
I asked my good friend ChatGPT and the estimated number of Baby Boomers with a net worth of $2 million or more is 2 to 5 million. chatgpt.com/share/68b49e...
Having money saved up for retirement isn't "hoarding"; that's just good planning. (Dave Ramsey voice): EVERYONE should be saving for retirement.
What should you have done differently?
What did your father do for a living?
I would expect it would be higher. It takes decades to accumulate wealth. So Boomers will have saved longer than Generation X and so on. I'm in my 50s now and I've saved up a lot more than in my 20s.
Socialism is government ownership of the means of production not (checks notes) paying for police.
You mean they were crime victims because they didn't pay taxes? What?
I'm pretty sure the people who stole the laptops, stole the communion wafers and vandalized the church were not fascists.
LOL. You think you live in a fascist system but if you actually did, you wouldn't be free to say that. 😄
Actually I think all the parts of the definition aren't relevant to the modern United States.
You said Fascism is characterized by severe economic & social regimentation. But none of that is happening. Unless you are claiming the United States DOES NOT have a fascist system.
You can't even answer the simplest questions about your absurd claim!
Hunter Biden was literally tried and convicted using evidence from the laptop by Joe Biden's Department of Justice. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_...
In what ways is the economic and social "regimentation" different today compared to last year?
You know the couch thing is made up. If your opponents were actually bad, you wouldn't have to make stuff up.
No, I meant anti government goons who hate democracy.
!
Unknown? We know exactly who did it.
Perhaps we should implement that in high crime areas such as Washington DC or Chicago. It'll take lots of federal agents and possibly the National Guard.
You really added a lot to the discourse. 🙄
Yeah, the Minneapolis shooter was one of those people.
Most gun purchases already get a background check.
That's baseless.
The economic and social "regimentation" is the same today as it was this time last year.
Stamp out dissent? But here you are, dissenting with zero repercussions. 😉
LOL. You don't know what fascism is. 😄
Only one person died through violence. It was a rioter.
Yes. You're a data denier.
Yes, NPR makes lots of errors like that and it's not a new phenomenon.
They meant 2020. NPR stopped doing basic editing a long time ago.
NPR gave up on basic editing years ago. They don't even check dates before they publish.
The January 6 Capitol rioters killed zero people. www.factcheck.org/2021/11/how-...
If you're hoping for attacks on federal government facilities, they're already doing that. www.ice.gov/news/release...
If you're hoping for attacks on the United States federal facilities, leftists are already doing that. www.ice.gov/news/release...
They've been attacking Israel for a long time already as you read in the article.
Because they are gullible.

So, you don't vote?
I say both Republicans and Democrats have used gerrymandering. And don't pretend that Democrats haven't used it in racist ways. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Na...
But did you believe the Clinton administration? They deported him.
No, he was not deported twice. Apparently deported in 1999 and briefly denied entry in 2004 while his case was reviewed. x.com/DHSgov/statu...
No US citizens are being deported. If you're thinking of US citizen kids who voluntarily leave the country with deported parents, they are not deported and can return to the United States at any time.
Most Latin Americans have some Spanish ancestry.
Please elaborate.
Which US citizens have been deported? If you're talking about US citizen children who voluntarily left the country with deported parents, they weren't deported and could return to the United States any time.
Wow. You're PRO-Epstein?!? Weird.
So you're saying you WANTED the Epstein files kept secret?
You're a democracy denier. The election was certified.
Only 3% of American Hispanics use the term "Latinx". www.pewresearch.org/race-and-eth...
Latino voters are US citizens. They're not illegal aliens and are not being deported to Uganda. 🙄
The people deported are not US citizens and are not voters. Except maybe in California they might be voters. 🤔
Latino voters are citizens. Some of them can even trace their roots to the foundation of Texas. For you to assume Latino voters are illegal aliens or have common cause with illegal aliens is condescending and kinda racist.
?
Do you think this attitude will help you win future elections?
Hispanic voters are citizens. They are not being deported. Stop assuming Hispanic means illegal alien.
