Some companies may be seeing higher real profits (nominal numbers are meaningless during rapid inflation), those are probably the ones who are involved in government corruption.
Food is extremely low profit margin I would love to see price controls on food.Â

Today we don’t have slavery
replaced with debt slavery...private debt to credit card banks exceeds 1 trillion
Today we allow women to vote.
Along with illegal migrant women, plus we don't know what a woman is.
Today, blacks are are better able to exercise their right to vote.
Unless as a black man, you are not allowed to demand voter ID because whites think you are too stupid.
Today, workers can unionize without being threatened with deadly force.
And lose their rights to strike when the president forces a settlement like the rail workers. (with the deadly force of the military)
Today, seniors don’t have to eat canned soup everyday because they are destitute.
No, they get macaroni and cheese because inflation is out of control
Today seniors don’t typically die in their 60s because they can’t afford health insurance.
No, now their kids can't afford to keep Medicare going forever because Biden finally beat Medicare.
Today we don’t have recessions every 5 years.
No, we just stop saying 2 consecutive quarters of negative GDP isn't a recession anymore
Today poor kids with good grades can go to college.
At inflated prices because the Government artificially inflated the demand with demand side subsidies. Over half of college graduates get a job where their degree was not necessary for the job thanks to this market distortion of the government. Many in grievance studies are nearly unemployable due to being intolerant and insufferable.
The average Democrat voter is a case study in "corrupt-a-wish"

The reason why most people can't accept that Trump is dumb (which he is) is because your side insists he is the dumbest man on the planet. (which he is not)

I'd love to see someone actually break it down and explain how their life is better now compared to years ago. Everything is more expensive, and I don’t see how anyone could say they’re better off now, unless they hit the mega bucks. It’s mind-boggling to me that some people are just going along with this because the TV told them to, and that’s why they can’t name a single policy. It's all vibes and no brains.

How smart are people that use debunked propaganda as statements of fact?
Next up, the president grabbed a steering wheel, bragged about grabbing a pussy without consent, offered Russian bounties, said the military is for losers, said Nazis are very fine people, mocked a disabled reported, started the kids in cages program, and called every Mexican a rapist.
What a dummy. (Trump)

Great question. Let's see some clips.

Let’s face it, the economy is just too complicated with all this pesky "supply and demand" nonsense. Who needs the invisible hand of the market when we can have the very visible, and oh-so-wise, hand of price fixing? Here’s why price fixing is the economic miracle we've all been waiting for:
- Goodbye, Inflation! Why let prices rise naturally when we can just decide what they should be? By setting prices in stone, we can ensure that everything costs exactly what we want it to, forever. Forget those annoying price tags that keep changing. Your morning coffee will cost $1.99 until the end of time, no matter how much coffee beans cost or whether they’re in short supply. Stability, folks, that’s what we need!
- Competition is Overrated: Let’s be honest, competition is stressful. Why force companies to innovate, improve quality, or lower prices to win your business? With price fixing, every company can charge the same amount for the same product. Who needs choice when you can have uniformity? Plus, think of the savings on advertising—no need to convince you they’re better if they all charge the same price!
- A Simpler Life for Everyone: Imagine a world where you never have to shop around for the best deal because every store charges exactly the same price for everything. Need a new phone? It’ll cost you $500, whether it’s a state-of-the-art model or a brick from 2002. And no more stressing over those confusing sales or discounts—just one price, all the time. Simple, right?
So let’s embrace price fixing as the economic panacea it clearly is. Who needs market dynamics when we can just dictate prosperity from the top down? After all, if history has taught us anything, it’s that central planning always works out just fine! 😜

Oh shit. I didn't know this. I now am a liberal and support cutting off the penises of gay children, and socialism
Agreed. I was really on the fence about being a Marxist CIA soldier and a dick chopper, but now this has shown me the truth of the world. I was really not sure when the orangeman hired Tulsi Gabbard. But all is well now.

I’d advise taking some time to reflect on what aspects of your life might be causing these feelings. Perhaps touch grass every so often. Are there areas where you can lighten your load or carve out more grass-touching time for yourself? It might also be helpful to talk to someone you trust or a professional who can help you explore these feelings further and find ways to make your life feel more fulfilling and less overwhelming.

Obama was the leader of the party. If he said "this is my policy" that is what would have reached the floor.Â
Yah, no. That's not actually how legislation (the sausage) is actually made. Pelosi knew exactly how many votes she needed and what she could get away with.

Also, it's Pelosi that actually crafted the bill, not Obama. Obama really didn't get to decide what version hit the floor.

@HistoryBuff
still makes no sense. Democrats had a supermajority. The only people Obama had to please were other Democrats (and he failed 34 of them)
Obama should be one of your worst presidents ever as a democrat. Either that or Democrat congressmen (over 34 of them apparently) were more conservative than Obama expected.

and then cleaned himself up
More like cleaned up the narrative by lying about driving himself to the police station and having a hearing loss problem when he ran from the police.
Don't pretend these 2 bozos are the best the left has to offer the American people. That's an insult to actual Democrats.

Obama wanted to be able to work with the republicans...
weird take considering no republicans voted for it. with over 30 democrats opposing.
The House of Representatives voted on the Affordable Care Act (commonly known as Obamacare) on March 21, 2010. The final vote was 219 in favor and 212 against. All 178 Republicans and 34 Democrats voted against the bill, while 219 Democrats voted in favor. The bill was then sent to the Senate, where it passed and was signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010.
Obama had a blank slate, but Democrats are the ones to blame here.

Correct, he should have led with "you are gonna pay for it"
Then he would have been more accepted as a politician. People know they pay for illegal migrants. That's why we let them in.

Tim Walz was initially charged with DUI and speeding in a 1995 incident where he was pulled over by police. He failed a field sobriety test and a preliminary breath test at the scene. However, as part of a plea deal, the DUI and speeding charges were later reduced to a single count of reckless driving, meaning he was not ultimately convicted of DUI or speeding.

The assertion that not trusting the CIA automatically makes someone a "Proud Boy" or a racist is a flawed generalization. Distrust in government agencies, including the CIA, can stem from a variety of legitimate reasons unrelated to extremist ideologies. Many people across the political spectrum question the actions and transparency of intelligence agencies due to historical events, such as the revelations of surveillance programs or controversial foreign interventions. This skepticism is not inherently tied to racism or extremist beliefs but often reflects concerns about accountability and government overreach.
It's also important to recognize that labeling someone as a "Proud Boy" or a racist based solely on their distrust of a government agency can be harmful and counterproductive. It oversimplifies complex political and social issues, reducing nuanced perspectives to binary labels. This kind of thinking can alienate people who may have valid criticisms or concerns, preventing open and constructive dialogue. Not everyone who questions the CIA or other government institutions aligns with extremist groups or harbors racist beliefs; many are simply advocating for transparency and reform.
Instead of jumping to conclusions or making broad generalizations, it's more productive to engage in thoughtful conversations. If you or someone else expresses distrust in the CIA, it's worth exploring the reasons behind that distrust and discussing them in a respectful manner. Understanding the specific concerns and addressing them with factual information can help bridge divides and foster more meaningful discussions. Remember, it's okay to question institutions, but it's also essential to avoid assumptions about others' motivations or beliefs without evidence.

You don't really think Double R is so stupid that he doesn't know this already. He made a conscious choice to ignore it and gaslight this forum. There is no point engaging with such a person unless there is an audience, and any reasonable observer would click on the link and see he's lying. Save your keystrokes my dear parrot.
His alternate hypothesis would be that the CIA was too incompetent to decide what "Russian propaganda" is. (like they claimed about Biden)
I would be willing to accept that claim if it included the dismantling of incompetent organizations, but we all know incompetence is a virtue in left circles.

I think this is a hasty generalization. The right doesn't want to starve people any more than the left (besides BLM) wants to destroy fathers. But there is a middle ground where both can agree the current equity policies are not working as intended.
