Interesting info on how big a scum Biden is, and why maybe Trump may win again.
If they don't dump Biden, Trump will ROAST HIS ASS and win. Again.
Are they THAT STUPID to push him forward?

Broke-ass motherfucker wages rose above inflation inflation levels in 2018. Nobody else's did. That's not been seen in a very long time and it might make convincing the working man that he should vote blue a little more difficult.

Pardon me, it was 2017-2018 [epi.org] (which means the middle of 2017 to the middle of 2018 if you RTFA). Inflation for the relevant months was 2.25% according to these folks [usinflationcalculator.com] and galculator.

And yet almost half the country can't afford a $400 emergency. Very, very few people in the country can afford a $1,000 emergency. Yeah, the economy sure is great... for the mega-rich, mostly. The stock market being up mostly (mostly) benefits the rich. Strangely, it seems that the vast majority of the metrics the corporate media uses to determine whether or not the economy is doing well really mostly tell you how well the mega-rich are doing. I think that might be intentional.

If you can't afford an emergency, that's on you not on society. No matter what you make, you should always save back at least three months of living expenses. If you go out and buy anything non-essential before doing so, emergencies you can't afford are entirely your own fault.

I agree that people should be more financially responsible and reduce their mindless, destructive consumerism, but the point is that even in this so-called great economy, the situation of the average person isn't really improving in any significant way. Corporate welfare doesn't help the average person.
