Wanted to add, “Fuck Cars!!”
Car payments for decades of one’s life are not the way to go.

Wanted to add, “Fuck Cars!!”
Car payments for decades of one’s life are not the way to go.
I remember talking with some Americans a few years ago, they worked in the tech industry, so definitely on the upper side of the income range. And even they said they were feeling the crunch around 2022-2023. I can only imagine how it felt for the regular people.
Quite the contrast with the official numbers which claimed the American economy is growing. Let’s just say that the election outcome was not surprising.
Well the rich are gaining obscene amounts of money. So many of the large companies are pulling in record profits. So in that sense, the american economy is growing. The peoblem is theyre squeezing the rest of us for that.
60% of Americans living pay check to pay check for whatever reason. In 2008 this number was 40%.
There is no way to tell why this is happening. 🤡
Its actually up to 68% now.
Every time you hear about ‘the economy’, replace it with ‘rich people yacht money’.
And it only works when ‘the economy’ is strong, rising, booming, zooming, etc.
Between that and Biden refusing to take action regarding Gaza, the election was forfeited in 2023.
Which is bizarre because Trump promised the extermination of all Palestinians.
“Don’t vote for Biden because he won’t stop genocide. Let Trump win because he promised to help genocide.”
Being anti Genocide isn’t a “purity test” it’s a absic requirement. If a candidate for offices fails that and loses it’s their fault 100%
Just ignore what I said about the economy and blame everything on people who are anti-genocide.
I only meant to point out that one weirdness.
But “the economy is bad” was another.
“Don’t vote for Biden because the economy is bad now. Let Trump win because the economy was worse than when Trump was last president.”
