Biden is an anti capitalist

[my2¢]

It is his fault that the price of gas has skyrocketed

Compare the Dow (or as I prefer S&P 500) when Trump took office and where it was when he left. Do the same for Exxon and you'll see why gasoline prices have rocketed. Forget politics and follow the money. It sure is an anti-capitalist position that oil company shareholders should be delighted at seeing the return on their investment tank.

It's Biden's fault I left the corporate world in 1992, yeah and he is responsible for anything in my life that was detrimental and negative...Moonglow

Just like everything was Trump's fault when he was President, including every single American that died from coivd. So do tell, what isn't Biden's fault and why? It can't be our fuel prices because it was his actions that caused gasoline to increase so much. It can't be the border problem because it was Dementia that reversed most all of Trump's successful policies. It can't be inflation because it's the Democrats that are paying people to stay home that caused our employee shortage and all their Democrat pork which has to be borrowed. It can't be our unemployment rate for the same reason--paying people to not work.

It seems to me that every problem since Jan 20th is his fault.

If that is the game you play then you play it, other people have more ability to rationalize. I am not getting paid to stay at home so I do believe your statement is a half truth. I have been applying to jobs for ten years and have yet to hear back from a company to be hired. Don't tell me there is a labor shortage what their is is too much discrimination which keeps people from working jobs they cry they have no one to fill.\
Your myopic attempts to only blame democrats is your problem not mine, both sides borrow money to operate the govt. and both sides provide relief..

One thing about Republicans and those who support them, is that they have no policies, only complaints. And those complaints all disappear the instant a Republican takes the office.

We had policies and they were working just great. The Communists are now in charge of the entire federal government, and it's been going down hill since.

About half of the states stopped the additional unemployment benefits and their employment situations are virtually identical to the rest.

There are lots of reasons for a labor shortage, but unemployment is at best a marginal one.

What communistic platforms, reform and bills have they made law to eliminate the capitalist?

If there is only half truth to my statement, that means it's also half lies. So what am I lying about?

I wanted to buy some windows for a rental unit of mine. I called my cousin who has a remodeling business across town. He told me windows are 8 to 10 weeks behind. He can't get them. The window companies can't find workers. The cable guy was here yesterday, he was telling me that DVR boxes are almost a commodity. They are only replacing them if there is absolutely no other alternative to fix the problem. Same thing, they can't get workers to make these boxes.

Many folks are tired of being underpaid and over worked.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

What communistic platforms, reform and bills have they past to eliminate the capitalist?

They didn't yet. But what they are doing is competing with companies for workers. They are paying them the same or more to stay home and companies can't get workers.

Shortages of child care seem to be a far bigger issue.

But yeah, imagine people demanding a higher salary. I thought that Trump’s supporters were in favor of people making more, but it only takes a little scratch and you realize it was just a facade.

Both Dems and the Repubs run this govt. on the govt. credit card system. I couldn't find workers in the 1990's-2000's so what. I suggest they do what we used to do forty years ago, fix the boxes with new components or cannibalize old units to repair. Corporations created this mess and now they want to cry about the throw away economy? I could fix them but yet, they won't hire me I am 60 years old and they have a habit of not hiring aged people who know how to fix problems because they have spent their lives doing it.

It's really a domino effect. I have a widget company and need handles to complete my widgets so I can sell them, but the two companies that make widget handles are both in states that did not eliminate the extra fed money. I can't get my widgets made. If I can't get widgets produced, I don't need any additional workers.

I never used them I used a wife.

Make up more fake scenarios to sell your propaganda. Evidently you are young enough not to know how stopping production and then starting production works, it is a situation you must be patient with.

It's cheaper to make new ones than to fix them. I remember back in the early 80's when I attended electronics school. My teacher and I were discussing careers and he asked me what I would like to do. I told him I like repair work. He told me I'm in the wrong place. If I'm going to be in electronics, go for an engineer degree because in the future, nobody is going to pay me to fix anything. They will just throw it away and get a new one that's mostly made via automation. He was right.

I'm retired now but stay in touch with a few of my former coworkers. They are telling me that's the problem. My former customers can't get parts that are needed for certain products. If you knew how production worked, you'd understand that a company doesn't entirely produce a product. They buy parts from other cities, states and even countries.

It's kinda funny (ironic, not ha-ha) that so many of those people who are anti-capitalism don't seem to realize that all of the benefits of capitalism that they take for granted would disappear or be diminished if this country were to change to a more socialist economy. Who's going to innovate, where will the incentive come from to create new things, particularly in medicine and healthcare if there's no profit motive? Who's going to bust ass to get ahead if they get paid the same as a person who just goes through the motions? Why work hard if there's no reward?

Okay, so you don't like capitalism. What are you going to replace it with? How will things be any better if human beings are in charge of whatever the new economy is based on? Do you really think fraud, waste, and abuse will disappear? For sure those things will be reduced because we won't have nearly as much economic growth, so less money means less opportunity to lie, cheat, and steal your way to wealth.

IMHO, the real problem with capitalism isn't the economic model, it's the gov't that is supposed to manage the economy to be as fair and honest and transparent as possible. That's not a reason to ditch capitalism, that's a reason to ditch the gov't, or at least change the people who are running it and change some of the most egregious laws and regs that do not prevent or reduce illegal or immoral activities.

The dems stimulus plan that simply echoed the part of the gop's plan about handing out money to people to spend WAS NOT SOCIALISM.

It may prove inflationary, but so was Trump's tariff plan. IF wages rise and inflation abates in 22, Biden was a genius. An unwitting one, I admit. LOL
