Why i was not the typical Union worker who was satisfied with just an average income and pension plan....I went out of my comfort zone.

The "American Dream" costs about $3.4 million to achieve over the course of a lifetime, from getting married to saving for retirement, according to a recent analysis from financial site Investopedia.

Meanwhile, median lifetime earnings for the typical U.S. worker stand at $1.7 million, earlier research from the Georgetown University has found.

Too many people listened to the "Ex-spurts" and wanted to just be one of those average types of workers, who went 9 to 5, earned a living, going paycheck to paycheck, with a two week vacation with the kids to Disney Land(not all at once at Disney but maybe a day or two). They think that just working and waiting for their pension and Social Security checks and they could get by. Not in Joe Biden's America.

For the record, I agree with you.

But isn't that life precisely what so many conservatives want to return to?

Wages in this so called great nation have been purposefully lagging for the past 60 years. Workers have been shafted and taken advantage of. That's going to change as more workers begin to take a stand.

No, they want a life where there is no high inflation, because of a feckless president who wants to give everyone free money while making it much harder for people to move around, because he wants to bust up fossil fuels, while he gets millions of dollars from China. Also there is millions of diseased illegals coming into the country who if they break the law by being here, will break the law doing crimes against US citizens. Why do you support such an EVIL group of people like the Democrats?

I do agree letting big oil ship oil that we need overseas makes little sense.

What a retarded post!! I mean this shit really rakes the Cake!!

This decline of the American dream has been a decades long process laid almost exclusively at the feet of the Banana Republican party.

THink before you post, Tiny.

Who champions offshoring, lower minimum wages, and tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations going back 50 flipping years?

Dumbass banana republicans are gonna be the end of this country.

Oil companies should be have been nationalized from the very beginning.

That doesn't even make sense. As if at that time there were no happy non-conservatives.
They want what was good at that time but not 'that time'
anyway,it isn't your place to knock the asperations of those 9-5 types, is it ?

So, here is someone that doesn't realize that nationalization is what made Stalin what he was.
Nationalize a company and you have NO RESPONSIBILITY at all.
Were you sleeping in a forest for Covid. Masks didn't work. the vaccine hurt millions of people,Trillions were lost for no reason

Covid lockdowns were NO more effective than Swedish-style softer approach, major Oxford University-backed study suggests​

• Researchers made model that measures Covid deaths for different policies
• Letting people adapt behaviour just as effective as lockdowns, study suggests

This is the second time Biden was a fool, you might not know
“It is purely a fortuity that this isn’t one of the great mass casualty events in American history,” Ron Klain, who was Biden’s chief of staff at the time, said of H1N1 in 2019. “It had nothing to do with us doing anything right. It just had to do with luck. If anyone thinks that this can’t happen again, they don’t have to go back to 1918, they just have to go back to 2009, 2010 and imagine a virus with a different lethality, and you can just do the math on that.”

I believe lickdowns occurred under both administration's. And if we're going to just let big oil do whatever they want whenever they want with no rules to ever to comply with then no matter how much oil we drill Americans won't see any of it if it's shipped away. Getting down to $1 per gallon isn't going to happen shipping it all away.

as long as youre OK with more inflation,,

the sad part is the people that cant get a job when the min wage goes up because they dont have the skills needed for jobs that pay that high
