Maybe if they spent less money on tattoos and giant ******* pickup trucks they wouldn’t be struggling to pay rent, food, and gas.

Biden's time is running out. By this time next year nobody will even remember his name unless a conversation comes up about the "worst president in history."

A couple points.
I am not a Dem. The majority of Americans are not struggling to pay rent and etc. The majority of Americans do not even pay rent.
But yeah, as for me as an individual, I care about me and mine. Everyone else is on their own. When me and mine were struggling to make ends meet and had to choose between food or insulin for our son....none of you people gave a crap. I was told to better my situation and not rely on others to save us.
So, we did just that. If we did, so can all you people that are suffering now.

I do not give a crap whatever reason you need to tell yourself to feel better about.
I care about the cold hard numbers.
I prefer facts to feelings. It is an area we differ.

Half of the American people don’t own stocks. The S&P 500 is carried by about six companies. If you look at the Mom and pop companies and there is an index fund that are filled with small businesses …they’re getting hit hard this year.
Home prices are still astronomical. The cost of a home loan is almost three times today what it was under Trump. The middle class is getting crushed.
Majority of Middle-Class Americans Say They Struggle Financially
- Majority of people feel financially insecure in survey
- A third of respondents feel ‘extreme stress’ about paying debt

Unfortunate I’ve seen some Biden supporters straight up lie about this issue or laugh at poor people.

Our economy was much better under Trump. But there’s also something very critical to consider here,
Democrats are either racist against white people or they do nothing about the blatant racism against white folks. they supported it’s a terrible thing for the country. By them supporting BLM and the radical left-wing in the media and Hollywood.
There are events in San Francisco where men are giving oral sex to other men and peeing on men with kids present. What an abomination that today’s democrat party is

There are a lot of companies that are struggling in the USA. Again, the S&P 500 is carried by a few companies, like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Nvidia, Meta aka Facebook.
The difference between today and say the golden era of the USA in the 1940s and 1950s was we used to have a strong middle and upper class. Now we just have a strong upper class.

More than 70% of Americans have a 401k or something akin to it.
And yet S&P index funds are still kicking ass
And the only way they ever come down is a recession...are you another MAGA head that is hoping and praying for one of those?
Yep, poor people are struggling....then again poor people always struggle...it is the nature of being a poor person

Are you not reading the news from diverse sources. Working class people are struggling more than they have been in decades. And it is blatantly obvious that working class folks are struggling much more under Biden compared to Trump. The American middle class under Trump was not as good as it was decades ago, but still it was better under Trump compared to Biden.
40 years ago, the average 25-year-old made about 85,000 per year adjusted for inflation . Now the average 25-year-old makes about 50,000 per year.
The economic system that made baby boomers wealthy now seems hellbent on yanking the rug out from beneath the up-and-comers. Today’s young workers face economic realities that their parents and grandparents simply did not: rising inflation, soaring housing prices, unbridled student debt, AI labor disruptions, and a climate crisis that could someday make all of it moot.

Couple this with extremely high home prices and home loans tripling under Biden and it is a disaster. Those are simply the facts. We don’t need a recession..need better leadership…
we have should’ve never had the Covid lockdowns or the so-called stimulus payments of trillions of dollars printed out of nowhere. Republicans and Democrats brought us.
According to the Census Bureau, 34.6% of working-age Americans (ages 15–64) had a 401(k)-style retirement account in 2020. However, about a quarter of Americans don't have retirement accounts, and some groups are less likely to have access to them. For example, the Economic Innovation Group (EIG) estimates that 70% of working Americans who earn less than $37,000 don't have access to 401(k)s or other employer-sponsored plans

Is there a point to all of this?
Am I supposed to not be happy that my IRA is up more than 24% annualized this year because of what you are posting?
Am I supposed to not be happy that my 401k is up more than 22% annualized this year due to what you are posting?
Explain why I should care about the shit you are posting?
