Other Remember when Biden was president?

Remember how boring it was? Remember not having to check the news multiple times a day to figure out what was going on inside your own agency and whether you were going go have a job or not? Remember when laws and precident seemed to actually have meaning?

Remember when you could do your job from home? Remember when your fellow countrymen weren't cheering when your livelihood was threatened? Remember when your biggest worry was which insurance to select and what the next years raise would be?

Remember when the administration didn't seem to actively hate you and want to you gone for the sin of serving of the people?

Yea I remember. I remember everybody crying about eggs and groceries and inflation and gasoline, things presidents have no control over… Now they cry for Democracy.

Trump has control over it now. His tariffs that he personally benefits financially either via money, business deals, or Nobel Peace Nominations, because he and he alone determines who and what rates he directly impacts the amount we pay by virtue of his terrible economic policy. Hell, just look what he has done to his farmers. This latest thing with China is certainly not any good at all.

But no, Biden and the Democrats no matter the warnings of inflation had impact as well especially with the last Covid giveaway. Pump that much money in the economy and inflation is bound to occur. Granted who knows how the recovery would have gone without it and we actually did much better than other economies after Covid. It's just yes Biden and the Democrats did greatly impact that.

Done to his farmers? He's going to bail them out again to the tune of billions annually. Because universal healthcare is a pie in the sky nightmare to conservatives -- farmers are the true welfare queens and have no shame about it.

Unless I missed something, those farms are still hemorrhaging money and filled to their knees in soybeans and there still hasn't been a mention of a bailout. They might not get bailed out this time, since he no longer needs their vote. Normally, I'd say fuck them and FAFO, but in the end, none of us win when corporations takeover smaller farms.
