Nero fiddles...Rome burns

With amazing coincidental timing, we have a trans person killing children, leftists screaming for gun control, and a Trump indictment on charges even liberals agree are political........

meanwhile....

The economy is still a dumpster fire, inflation is still climbing, transportation of goods is still a mess, Biden is locking us into an ever war with Russia over Ukraine, and China has united several of the major oil producing nations to convert their transaction currency from the dollar to the Yuan which can further devalue the US dollar...all at a time where Biden and the leftists idiotic green policies are making us even MORE dependent on China who has negotiated mineral rights to the materials needed to push the green agenda...and does so buy buying mined products from 3rd world nations that are being dug up by men, women, and child slaves.

 

And you left out the important thing that this administration is inching us ever closely to a cashless society.... Were your every transaction is recorded on a government computer... The American dollar is no longer the reserve currency of the world and will soon be in the toilet... All according to the plans of the globalist Masters who actually run the Democrat party

 

Interesting...
I have a lot of goods that I can barter. Why use dollars when you can barter? Food... electronics...so much more. Money is only paper and you can't eat gold. There may come a time when the only things of value will be things you can eat, drink, shoot or screw.

 

I wonder why you're pretending to care that one out of hundreds of mass shootings this year alone was perpetrated by a trans person. Seems kind of silly.

 

Let me guess -- electing a bloviating gasbag in 2024 will magically fix everything?

 

Whistling past the graveyard.

 

Yep.

 

Typical. Ignore the facts and try to divert by making an idiotic comment...thats so....you.

The post had nothing to do with the 'hundreds of mass shootings' (we can absolutely talk about that, BTW....lots f threads going on about them in fact...jump in)...it had EVERYTHING to do with the media dominated stories being presented while the real and significant **** is actually HAPPENING and no one is talking about it.

 

They think it means it was 'political'. As for gun control, - its not like Dems are suddenly asking for gun control, when its been their priority for decades.

Sure looks like a "cry & whine" thread aka complain for the sake of complaining.

 

Its has nothing to do with complaining about gun control and everything to do with the concerted effort to focus on ANYTHING except the real word **** happening right now and the dumpster fire that is the current administration.

 

I've been using plastic for decades. Who told you everything is stored on "government computer"? USD is the world reserve currency.

 

You must be very young if you think things as worse than ever.

Yea.....complaining for the sake of complaining.

 

Do you think this move towards eliminating cash does not have to do with the government being able to record everyone's transactions?

Surely you know better than to trust the government.

 

What is Congress, under McCarthy, doing to address your concerns?

 

So, when it comes to inflation, it really has **** all to do with the administration. There is no Biden Admin policy that accounts for it. It's more the Federal Reserve's job to manage it, though we are also talking about inflation that is global in nature and triggered by the pandemic-induced supply chain disruptions. Another contributing factor was likely the years and years of near-zero interest rates. Of course, a certain former president did get involved in that, but you won't like how:

Trump has repeatedly voiced his opinions on what actions he believed the Fed should take, publicly chastising Chairman Jay Powell for raising interest rates until Powell backed off late last year. This year, Trump has urged Powell to cut interest rates, a move that some Fed watchers now say is more likely because of the president’s erratic trade moves. He’s also pressed Powell to resume quantitative easing, a bond-buying program launched by the Fed in 2008 in the wake of the financial crisis to stop the collapse of the housing market and increase the supply of money in the economy. Trump argued for that again Monday.​

If Jay Powell based any Fed policy on this moron's cajoling, he made a big mistake.

 

Electing Democrats sure as hell has not.
I would like to see DeSantis for president. And I do hope old oatmeal mush for brains currently sitting in the white house besides to run again.

 

Trust them with what? If they needed to know how much I spent in Winn Dixie or Costco, and the info is stored in "government computer" then they have had that information for decades and it has not destroyed my peace. Now you are being told its some evil conspiracy, so all of a sudden thats all you talk about. Why?

 

There is no Biden Admin policy on which you can blame inflation.

It's the Federal Reserve that manages interest rates, and therefore the amount of money in the economy, not Democrats or Republicans. Except for when Trump tried to involve himself in Federal Reserve policy by calling for more rate cuts and Fed bond-buying, the post-financial crisis policies that helped get us here in the first place, the White House is not involved. It is not the job of the President or Congress to manage the economy. They are largely neither to blame nor to thank for how the economy is doing since ours is a free economy.

Of course, overall the economy is doing well with unemployment being so low, but again that's largely outside of elected government's purview. And you know, when the worst we have to deal with is a little inflation and too many jobs for the available labor supply, I'd say it's actually not doing too bad. It's a shame that the pandemic shutdowns led to supply chain disruptions and likely triggered the inflation in consumer goods pricing that we are seeing, but that was and remains a global issue anyway over which the White House and Congress have limited control, at best.

Unfairly blaming the current president and electing some lying dumbass to take his place is not a solution.

 

Welcome to the forum.

1) Can you point out those "leftists idiotic green policies"? To me, it seems the price of gas has come down again, and I don't see any more EVs on the road or residential PV installations than before Biden. The OPEC, however, DOES affect the price of gas, with another production cut driving up prices again.

2) What about "locking us into an ever war with Russia"? First, we are not fighting this war, just supporting Ukraine. No US soldier has died in this war. Second, the war was started by Putin, Trump's friend. It was not in Biden's power to prevent this war. Putin had to go onto his megalomania trip eventually, since time is running out for him (age).

I see a lot of tired RW talking points in your opening post. Could it be that you are a Fox watcher? We have a lot of those on here, which is why Tucker's rants are usually posted here as RW opinion the next day.

 

Yes, Nero Fiddling as the country burns down is exactly the situation here today. Your list was good, but I would like to include the massive amount of injustice done by the Dems reaction to the events of Jan6. Dozens or hundreds of innocent citizens have been in prison in blatant violation of Habeas as the lying bastards in the government fiddle on.

Julian Assange has been imprisoned for years for exposing the crimes of the federal government. And on and on....

 

I don't think in a good economy that three or four major Banks fail in one week.

This president's hostility towards the oil industry has certainly contributed to inflation.

The world runs on gas. Let there be a severe diesel shortage and you will see true inflation.... You ain't seen nothing yet.... Everything on that grocery store shelf requires diesel to get there

 

Biden is not to blame for the bank runs, and no, Biden's being mean to oil companies has **** all to do with inflation.

Lay off the wingnut fake news. Learn something about the real world.

 

Do you always exaggerate people's claims in addition to your frequent use of straw Men and erasing half of people's post?

I have made less than a handful of post about that particular subject..... But leave it to you to come in and misrepresent it.

 

You might wish to learn something about the real world. The price of gas is directly related to inflation.

 

Everyone has the things they are concerned about...Im far more concerned with the things that are literally destroying the foundation of the country. Both sides often play a role in that. I just think we need to be more focused on those things than the distractions the media promotes.
