You didn’t address anything I asked. Yes, rent is much higher, gas is more expensive as are eggs. That’s not what makes a good or bad president.
How would making it so people can afford their basic necessities not a trait of a good or bad president. I think it makes a difference if we are slowly turning into a 3rd world country or not.
Biden inherited an economy that had completely collapsed and a global supply chain that was experiencing massive displacement. Of course our situations would look different after
Yeah maybe don't create the situations that cause that or handle them well if they are out of your control. Did you see that Biden allowed the petro dollar to be degraded? Iran had the balls to come off of it. I think you know what consequences we will see with that. We are going back to another great depression
Do you seriously believe that if Biden were elected in 2016 we would have seen such massive inflation? Or if Trump won reelection none of that would have happened
Correct if liberals like starting new social programs and making the money printer go brrrrrrr does that add to inflation or reduce it?
If Trump won reelection than Russia would not have invaded Ukraine and Israel would jot have been attacked. They know Trumps response can be extreme so these other countries would tread lightly. I assume part of the supply chain issue you brought up is related to what is happening between Russia and Ukraine right?

The speaks so well part was just an example. The point I made was about the difference between “I hate all black people” kind of racism and “black people suck but you’re ok cause you’re not like the rest of them” kind of racism.
Have you watched the movie Get Out. I think the sort of racism you see in that movie is the more common type of racism you see in real life which is the exclusive domain of limousine liberals

It's uncommon and probably illegal thanks to the following supreme court case. Some legal experts claim it can be done in certain situations, which is why I said it is a Grey area but one businesses are scared to venture into

Also, why do you blame Biden for your financial situation?
I was paying rent in a 2 bedroom single family home at 1200 a month when Trump was in office. I now rent a tiny place in the ghetto for $2000 a month. I can accept personal responsibility while acknowledging that rent is too damn high.
I also paid about $1.25 for a gallon of milk when Trump was in office and now pay close to $4. Bread was $1 and now it is about $3 for the cheap stuff. Gas prices are out of hand. Some inflation is to be expected but this is insane. I haven't blamed Obama for the current situation at all, it's on Bidens team.
What did he do specifically that impacted you? And whatever happened to personal responsibility?
I am going to college to skill up so I can keep up with inflation, so I am trying but I was doing g pretty well as an uneducated person with an expensive car and a nice house in a good neighborhood and the ability to eat out every day.
Even when Biden first took office I just stayed in a luxury hotel and made a killing in a totally unrelated industry and it was easy. I was paying about $6000 a month then for rent but Biden has destroyed that even. Currently that would cost me 10k a month and another 2k a month on top of it to maintain that lifestyle.

The point I was making was that the test gets more refined, and the average goes up so your score might be more accurate.
If an average person takes the test too often the score is artificially inflated by getting better at it. It doesn't improve intelligence. Also no the average does not go up because you have to get more right as a 40 year old than as a 12 year old to get the same score. It's not anIQ improvement because the age co tools make up for it

I don’t deny that the American education system isn’t great, and it definitely needs some fixing, but that doesn’t mean you have to homeschool.
That's true you don't have to homeschooling, you are certainly free to let retards raise your children.
But that generalization is based on actually evidence. You’re just using random things that you convinced yourself are true.Also, where did you get this info on female psychology? This is just baseless garbage
You can examine male psychology by looking it common archetypes picked up on in their favorite media. Things for example, like beautiful women, damsels I'm distress, cars, westerns etc.
Women's favorite media includes pretty woman. A movie where a whore falls in love with a billionaire who rescues her.
Women's favorite book. 50 shades of Grey, a boring slut is rescued by an abusive billionaire
Favorite childhood story Cinderella, a dirty and ugly girl is seen for her true beauty and rescued by a billionaire who is also a prince.
You can also read romance books to learn other disturbing shit about the minds of women.
However this is a long established fact in psychology so don't believe me, believe Freud and all modern psychologists who agree with him

I recall that American companies used to perform IQ tests on employees before making a decision whether to promote them or not. I'm not sure if they keep doing it, what I'm sure though is that IQ tests are very useful, it gives you an idea about the smartness of an employee.
It is a big legal Grey area now thanks to a supreme court ruling in I believe 1969. So companies are not doing it to avoid lawsuits, but are using college as a substitute to screen for intelligence. It's an inferior method to screen for intelligence but the only one they feel comfortable with.
Companies that by their nature have to hire non college grads usually perform personality tests to screen for people stupid enough to answer the following question and those like it wrong.
Have you ever stolen an office supply no matter how small?
Is it okay to take home company property without asking permission, for example a pen or pencil?

Let's say overspending cannot be solved easily. I would still want the benefits of Taxing them to outweighs the negatives and generally it doesn't, unless the tax rate is literally zero percent or close to it

This is free speech and if you don’t like it, then don’t watch it.
We were talking about tribalism.
Where is your source for this information? Because I thought on most issues, the parties were in lockstep pretty much all of the time. Roe V Wade would have been codified if 100% of the Democrats voted to do this and about 30% of republicans joined them
What’s your reason? And I’m not judging, but unless you live close to Philly, why would you care about their mayor that much? It would be like if I cared about the mayor of Phoenix that much (I live in the NY metro area).
I live near Philly and get their news. I don't care that much but dug into her because I thought she was an outlier of a candidate.

But where would the overspending be?
It's everywhere. $200 staples. $5000 chairs.
This is usually challenged by saying it is not most of spending, but why not cut out all wasted spending and then measure how much government is spending

A reasonably cohesive society needs a reasonable cohesive ideology.And a reasonably intellectual and progressive society needs to nurture and develop the best brains.
The Prussian model has schools built like a prison and is built to turn kids into factory workers
And I expect that most teachers are less retarded than a lot of parents are.
They are barely above average IQ, which is why geniuses like Einstein are always failing at school and having to skip classes to educate themselves.
Think about this. You have a class full of 30 kids. Some of those kids for all intents and purposes are retards. So now somebody with an IQ of 145, is being forced to learn at the pace of a kid with an IQ of 90 because you have to make sure you are educating all the kids.
Worse yet. When you are that high IQ often times you get bored and make trouble, now you are treated like a trouble kid and lumped in with actual trouble kids.
You get smart kids zoning out and not trying and making Ds and Cs and they start to get this ideal in their head they are stupid and it really harms their self esteem for life and limits their potential

So you’re saying that millions of people chose a career which barely pays enough to live comfortably just so they can have the summers off? This is a generalization.
Generalizations are not always wrong. Generally speaking fat people consume more calories than they burn, but this is not always correct. When speaking in generalizations we often are o ly talking about the average teacher not all teachers but most teachers.
As far as what you mentioned about picking a low paying career to get summers off let me explain a bit about female psychology.
If you ever watch pretty woman it pretty much shows the fulfillment of their fantasy of being able to be a whore until some rich man comes and saves then just at the beginning of the decline of their beauty.
Teachers are generally female and are clinging to the hope that some rich man will come save them so their low pay does not matter.
They also think a degree gives then some sort of status so took the easy route to get one. These aren't difficult computer science classes or physics. It's classes like "childhood development".
After the fact and to hide their laziness and low IQ, they will engage in this martyr fantasy where they are heroes saving children despite the low pay.
The reality is they are lazy bitches who assign homework because they are so lazy that us parents have to do their job for them anyway.
Think of it like this. The average homeschooling kid gets like 2 hours of homeschooling work a day and gets higher test scores on standardized tests. Now teachers assign kids 2 hours of homework when they get home after being in school for 8 hours. Literally WTF? You lazy fucks need to teach kids and stop pushing your job off on me.

I expect that most people lie about their IQ score.
Yes probably but I would think they do it like the would about height. Just add a few inches
Do you think that intelligence is genetically predetermined?
Yes, but a really bad home environment can limit IQ, bit if you are not starving to death, doing drugs or getting physical punches to your head, the impact is minimal
Or do you think that intelligence can be increased by home schooling?
No, but that intelligent kids can learn more at home
Nonetheless, clever people can still do stupid things.Like taking an army to Russia in the winter.
They have more potential for stupidity I would say

If it serves a good purpose such as funding something that is worth it, but that is assuming there is no overspending somewhere else thay could be cut to meet the budget.
I also think we shouldn't target globalists with the tax. Whether somebody is for or against the open society should jot be a factor in determining tax rate.

I’m also aware enough to know if it’s given that Biden is in perfect mental health, that you would still vote Trump over Biden because you only vote republican. Don’t expect a democrat or independent to share that partisan tribalism.
I would be willing to vote a democratbin the right situation and have done so before but the party seems to be getting worse. Biden even if he makes it through the debate is obviously in severe mental decline. As far as Democrats not being tribal they seriously make everything political. Sports, TV shows, classrooms. Plus nearly 100% of of the senate votes with Biden, meanwhile Republicans only voted with Trump about 70% of the time

Question before you dance Garth Brooks.
How donI tell if I am a retard. I have an IQnin the top 1% of all people, but if I was a retard then maybe I am just too retarded to know that isn't good like I think it is. Also if you respond by reassuring me I am not a retard, how would I know if you were just being polite or if I genuinely am not retarded. This bothers me because I am going to college currently and it is a difficult major, what if I am a retard and should have chosen a degree for stupid people like psychology or education or biology or something?
Created:

@Moozer325
You make some good points, but I think you’re overestimating how good of a system it is. It’s the best we have, but it’s still not really that good at all.
This is what retards say to cope with having a low IQ score. Don't believe their BS, it is really accurate, which is why it is a very good predictor of life outcome, what major you can be successful at and SAT scores.

One of the reasons you need to homeschooling if you can do it is that the majority of teachers are retards (not greyparrot he is an educator not a teacher) .
We literally have retards teaching our children and then giving them advice on their future.
Worse than that is teachers are lazy retards. They legit just got a degree in education because it was the easiest degree and they get summers off.

The thing that you have to understand is that IQ is not a perfect measure of intelligence.
Yes also body fat calipers are imperfect at measuring body fat, but it gets you in the ballpark.
. If someone was really good at math, like NASA level good, you would say they are smart. But you could also say Napoleon, or other military generals were smart.
Yes mathematicians use their intelligence for math and Napolean for Battles. Napoleon likely would have excelled at math, but your average mathematician has an IQ close to 130 and Napolean likely is between 150 and 170 in IQ range.
People have to remember, IQ is not Intelligence. It's the best we have so far, and it is applicable in some scenarios, but you have to remember that it is very imperfect
Yes also pregnancy tests are not perfect either most are only 99.999% accurate and that is under perfect conditions.
Here is why IQ matters.
It's useful in determining who we should discourage from voting in elections. You see politicians like to take advantage of stupid people by offering them free shit and stupid people are well stupid, so they vote for free shit.
One issue with this is that it is harmful in the long term, however there is a second issue. Where do you think they get their free shit from?
They get it from smart people who make a lot more than them. Subsidies are essentially a tax for not being retarded..
I am not trying g to be mean about it. However, have you actually ever talked to a retard? It's somebody with like a 60 IQ and if you have an average IQ of 100, it's just not pleasant. That 40 point IQ difference is huge.
It's the same thing for me. If I talk to somebody with an IQ of 120, it's essentially like talking to a retard for you, so you can see how sometimes I get frustrated. I mean no harm it's just that it's hard for them to understand me, which can frustrate me.
