Because nobody could pay Trump to fuck the economy up.
Biden on the other hand is very open to any and all offers.

Hedge Fund managers can only reliably make money if they can pay a politician to selectively fuck the economy over. They pay politicians to use Federal power to pick economic winners and losers.

That’s literally the economy of the entire Iron Range. Where else do you propose we get the metals?
China.
The same China that would pollute 10x as much. Good job environmentalists.
You don't expect America to give a fuck about what China dumps onto the planet, do you? Just a sec, let me fill this "recyclable" bin so all the unprocessable stuff and stuff that's too toxic to process in the USA can be shipped out to the Pacific Rim. I got a plane to catch for my next climate summit.
Let’s just let the Chinese kill their people then. Gimme a break dude. These are all buzz words.
China is fine, relax.
There’s technology in place to reduce all of this stuff.
You need to go get the Elite Oligarchy in DC to subsidize Elon Musk then because you know he NEVER gets others to invest in his ideas.
The Iron Range in Minnesota was booming under Trump. Now it’s gonna go down the drains cause of Joe Biden. I didn’t here shit about the water in the Iron Range of Minnesota within the last 4 years. Did you?
Dude, everyone knows the alternatives have absolutely NO unintended consequences or hidden hazards. Trust Authority.

The whole GameStop debacle is Trump’s fault. Orange Man so bad he didn’t do anything about even thought he’s not in office anymore.
It's Trump's fault for getting Biden elected to crash the American economy forcing Biden's hedge buddies to get rich off the scraps even though you know they fucking care about poor people.

so the SEC hasn't stepped in to help hedge funds, so therefore Biden is corrupt.... do you think you are making sense, because you aren't.
Lol, They most certainly DID step in to help Hedge funds by allowing the Robinhood freeze on buying but not selling. You have no idea what is going on obviously.

And was so when Trump was Head of State
There is only one appointed faceman for Establishment DC, and it sure as fuck isn't a sand kicker like Trump.
Trump was never head of the Deep State.
You may be right though. Republicans tend to be challenged more by the state media.
Especially the uppity ones rocking the boat.
Again: If a President isn't mentally challenged by Establishment Media, can he still be mentally challenged?
Quite the poser.

Most of the Billionaires that elect Democrats and Establishment RINOs are Hedge fund managers betting on economic downturns so they can short the market, and then the market goes to shit when Washington Elites destroy jobs with crony legislation that they use their media to call "saving the planet" or "protecting Democracy" or some other fucked up misnomer suggesting it's "compassionate" to destroy the economy.
All they really are doing is making sure the top one percent hedge fund army gets filthy rich Shorting America while normal people lose their shirts.
Say his name.

It gets funnier. Biden’s Press Secretary Jen Psaki has a brother named Jeffery Psaki. Jeffery is a portfolio manager at Citadel Inc.. which is a hedge fund that suffered the most recently.
Raggedy Ann's response to the market freeze is that because there is a woman in the position, then everything is going to be just fine. Trust her.

Yup, just like Biden and his Treasury Secretary protecting their comrades on Wall Street. Ever wonder why Wall Street funded Biden and not Trump. Corruption 101
Yeah I just heard about how Biden got the SEC to shut down trading when his crony buddies were getting fucked
Man hasn't been president for a few weeks before pulling his first major corruption stunt.

Republican Presidents tend to be more intellectually challenged that Democratic ones.
Doesn't the state media have to challenge your intelligence for it to be properly fact-checked?

Joe Biden was legit funded by Wall Street.
Biden may go down as the most documented (by his own recorded words) corrupt president in all of American History. No other president was so boldly unapologetic about the true nature of Washington DC's mafia mentality with the kickbacks, protection rackets, and outright extortion.

the point is that you wouldn't need low-skill earners to earn a living wage if you had a program that made up the difference such as NIT or UBI.
You know the difference between the 2 yes?

If we really want to level the playing field then we should tax inheritance a lot more than we do.
Awesome idea. That will teach those uppity rich black skinnies to stop working so hard to uplift their kids.
Lord knows we need more rich people to stop working so hard making all those goddamn innovations and creating jobs thinking they can just pass that shit off to their kids with no divine retribution. It absolutely pisses the idiots and the lazy people off, and we certainly do not want that. Just look at what they did to the Capitol building and Chaz!
The very idea that you can own shit is an abomination and a double abomination if your kids get to own shit too.

@TheUnderdog
It would never hold up in a court of law because a court standard would require the people paid to show DNA evidence (skin color would be insufficient) of slavery and also the people paying would also have to be identified through DNA testing (skin color would not be sufficient)
Good luck with that since the DNA has mixed a LOT throughout the American populace especially when including all the DNA from immigrants since 1865.
SCOTUS would boot this out faster than a Kavanaugh tear rolling down.

@Danielle
doesn't translate to "everyone is the same" so he mispresented. Liberals know everyone isn't the same and don't have the same circumstances or capacity to provide, which is why they advocate for support through minimum wage hikes.
If you are attempting to use minimum wage as a vehicle of charity, it is the most ill-conceived method of charity imaginable, since the 10% most likely won't see any of it.
The idea that every person is capable of earning a living wage is wholly a construct of both the Democrats AND Republicans, and both are dead wrong for different reasons.

Freidman's version of Yang's UBI is the NIT.
Interesting food for thought.

@Danielle
Peterson explains at the end of this video discussing UBI how the 10% needs more than just money to satisfy the bottom of that pyramid. The 10% need the top of the pyramid of needs fulfilled to attain happiness. UBI only satisfies the bottom part. Eliminating burdensome regulations so that the 10% can have some job even if it is not up to the level of a "living wage" allows the 10% to find fulfillment with a sense that they are contributing to society. Minimum wage ensures the bottom 10% won't have that job or a feeling of contributing to society.
You predictably did not answer my question about any ideas or solutions you might have.
You're so nasty sometimes lol, (go take a hit before you respond to this) but anyway, my solution is a mix between Yang and Freidman policies with an immediate repeal of the minimum wage.
Do you agree?

@Danielle
Instead they push for more equal opportunities (like access to education)
Then you totally missed Peterson's point.
that everyone deserves a living wage regardless of whether their job doesn't require very many skills?
You're now talking about charity then when discussing the 10% that cannot produce a societal output on the level of a minimum wage. I stress the word cannot and Peterson goes into detail why it is impossible in many of his lectures if you are unconvinced.
If you are attempting to use minimum wage as a vehicle of charity, it is the most ill-conceived method of charity imaginable, since the 10% most likely won't see any of it.
That being said, this 10% statistic + automation concerns is precisely the sentiment behind Universal Basic Income and Andrew Yang's presidential campaign.
Oh noes, don't throw me into that Briar patch (Since I like Yang's UBI idea)
By far and away it's a much much better vehicle for charity that everyone in the 10% can benefit from than an arbitrary minimum wage that does not force job creators to hire the 10% at a profit loss.

It's about how the military is not allowed to legally employ 10 percent of the population, and what society should do to take care of those 10%

I guess it's okay if they still have the option of getting rid of the job or the person if the person can't produce at the level of an arbitrarily set minimum wage.
For example, the government does not require the Armed Forces to employ a person below a minimum standard of ability that correlates to a minimum wage as well.
If the Government can leave those people fucked with no recourse, then the private sector should have that luxury too.
It doesn't matter if you are on the right or the left, Washington DC doesn't give a flying fuck about that 10% of people even if the private sector happens to offer more than a zero dollar income.
Freidman was 100% correct in saying the ultimate effect of a minimum wage is that the government mandates job creators to discriminate against a person that produces less than the minimum wage. Those people are fucked and nobody gives a shit. That's postmodernism for ya.

It's also wrong for the government to force a job creator to create a job for a low skilled American at the moment, but times can change Comrade.
Until then, Job Creators can give desperate people the opportunity of making zero dollars if they don't produce at the level of whatever wage Washington DC arbitrarily sets.

If Washington DC finds it profitable to mandate job creators to destroy American jobs and create new ones in another country then it will happen to preserve the job security of Washington DC. That's all that matters.

Mockingbird media has redefined Democracy.

I'm referring to a social process that allows unqualified and inept people to become POTUS, simply on the basis of their ability to pay.Doesn't matter who they are or what they represent.
Of course, it does matter as the last 4 years has shown. If you don't pay the proper respects to Washington DC, expect 4 years of impeachments, investigations, and constant harassment by the mockingbird media along with no cooperation from your own party in Congress.
Paying respect to America is not enough.
Paying more money in an election isn't enough either as HRC proved.
Washington D.C. wins every election in the end, one way or the other. Haven't you figured this out by now?
America just went through 4 years of a president that was not allowed to do anything by Washington DC.
I'm not at all concerned about what Washington DC is or is not going to allow old Joe Biden to do. It's out of the control of the American public and in control of special interests. That's where all the money is at and who chooses to allow a person to be president and get things done. Trump is a mistake that Washington DC punished the public for. Hopefully, Americans can now wake up and realize their vote only matters when Washington DC agrees so we don't have to go through all this political theatre pretending it matters in the end who is in the Whitehouse.

Yep, such as being able to tell the proper lies to the people that get them elected instead of paying others to lie for you like HRC did.
Outsourcing your credentials is a stupid idea HRC. Very dumb.
And she paid dearly for it along with all her Washington DC buddies.
And all those people that paid her to win.
