Every state has unsavory stats, that doesn’t mean there aren’t very nice areas as well.
Yours must be extra unsavory if you won't tell us which state it is.
We have been through this. Trumps economy, and the US in general, was flourishing pre-COVID. This is exactly why the Democrats were in such a tipsy with all their fake investigations and the MSM was full bore trying to paint any negative false image they could. They knew Trump was a lock to win re-election, but alas, along came COVID which resulted in a world-wide economic downturn and allowed for a few tweaks on the voting side of things. Yeah, you aren’t too bright and fell right in line with the rest of the lemmings who bought into all of it.
So many problems with this.. so many.
First, Trump was behind Biden in every poll before Covid. Even in January, before Covid hit and Democrats were considering other candidates seriously, Biden was still beating trump in hypothetical matchups.
Secondly, Trump's own incompetence made Covid a lot worse than it needed to be. He called it a hoax, said it would clear up by Easter, discouraged people from wearing masks, encouraged crazy people to show up at their state capitols with guns, etc. He told people to inject bleach, for crying out loud.
But even taking Covid out of the picture. Trump's economy never exceeded 3% GDP Growth, a figure Trump himself said was the metric for success.
By the way, did you know that African Americans and Hispanics incomes have fallen under Biden while white incomes have risen slightly? Under Trump, pre-COVID, both were up much more. I just thought you may be interested in that little tidbit. I am quite sure MSNBC didn’t let that one get out.
Why do you always pretend 2020 didn't happen? COVID WAS A THING THAT HAPPENED AND IT WAS TRUMP'S FAULT IT WAS AS BAD AS IT WAS.
Seriously, it's like the Captain of the
Titanic claiming he was making an excellent time until he hit the iceberg. If Trump were captain of the Titanic, he'd have blamed Democrats for the Iceberg while he got his ass on the first lifeboat, kicking women and children off.
Um, no, rural areas are not just as dangerous as urban ones. That is just in your fantasies. You can walk down a country road late at night or even go to an ATM(yeah, we have those too) with very little concern of getting mugged or shot. The same can’t be said about many urban areas.
I've lived in an Urban area for 61 years. I've never been mugged or shot, either.
About 40% of welfare spending is going to 14% of the population (African Americans). About 39% is going to 59% of the population (whites). In other words, African Americans in the US are 4x more likely to be receiving welfare benefits than whites. That is a big problem, particularly as the African American population grows. It stands to reason that the image of welfare would reflect the largest demographic both statistically and numerically and would highlight the demographic with the most pressing problems. Once again, it is the facts that you don’t like and you want to twist them to fit a false, polly-anna, racially motivated narrative.
Except that most people on welfare are white. And most people who get government entitlements (social security, medicare, etc.) are white.
The real problem is that most people on "Welfare" actually have jobs. They just don't have jobs that pay enough. So they get section 8, Medicaid, and food stamps to supplement their income. And if they cross a certain number, they lose those benefits.
Unions are unnecessary and destroy industry in the US. By all means, keep it up as factories continue to move to red, right to work states. If the Democrats get their way, between higher corporate taxes and unions, companies will move completely out of the US. This isn’t the 1940’s any more. We have some real manufacturing competition in the world that isn’t as spoiled and naive as people like you. I don’t expect a minion like yourself to understand any of this.
Um, didn't your boy Trump impose tariffs and scrap NAFTA to prevent factories from being moved overseas?
The reality is, far more jobs have been eliminated through process improvement and automation than offshoring.
As for the rest of the world, Japan and Germany have higher levels of unionization than we have. Their unions also have a lot more power. The Unions even have a say in who the CEOs of companies are. And they are running circles around us in manufacturing and have been for decades.
In fact, when the UAW tried to organize in a Volkswagen plant in Jesusland, (I forget which state of inbreds it was), Volkswagen welcomed it. They'd RATHER deal with a union. But with generations of inbreeding and moonshine making these people stupid, they voted against a union. "We done want to work for less money and less rights, Cleetus!"
