Blame a Liberal next time you can't afford to buy groceries. Because Liberals are against an "America First" philosophy that would make us independent of foreign nations, Americans are suffering as a result.

The problem is, these Americans that keep voting Democrat are like crack and meth addicts. They can't shake their addiction to voting Democrat and they just keep bringing the rest of us down with them.

It is sad to see.

Especially as their response is to deny it...fail...then try to justify it...fail...say similar happened under Republicans...

Republicans are no saints but they did not pass the inflation reduction act...that increased inflation

Small markets are getting killed right now. I've seen some reports of $10 for a head of lettuce. Water shortages in California and Arizona, weird climate, soaring costs and labor, lack of parts for production equipment etc etc. The big grocery chains contract buy ahead of time at fixed prices but the smaller markets buy as needed. I can see many smaller grocery markets folding in the next few years and the bigger chains getting stronger, especially if Kroger is allowed to merge with Albertsons. I've read that 80-90% of the nation's largest corporate mergers in last 50 years took place under Democrat presidents who will decide the FTC majority. You'd think it would be the opposite and under Republican presidents.

Eggs are expensive because of bird flu and not because Democrats.

For a smaller operation like Andrews’ Farm in Wallingford, there’s a different challenge causing a price hike.

“It doesn’t affect me at all so far, mostly because of the way we raise our birds,” Andrews said.

He said his eggs are now selling for more due in part to the increased shipping cost of buying feed for his chicken.

“We had to go from $5 a dozen to $8 a dozen, and 90% of that is fuel prices,” said Jeff Andrews, owner of Andrews’ Farm.

Bird flu.

Eggs are expensive because of bird flu and not because Democrats.

I have a family of 4 and before Covid, spent about $600 on groceries. I now spend about $800. That's about 33% more. I also found my bills for household items have increased about 30%. And my utility bills are up about 15%. Rent is also higher by similar amounts where I live, and of course gas prices are considerably higher than a few years ago.

[HoopsNY]

Overall the inflation caused by the Trump stimulus is falling. Biden is saving us from it and dodged recession. This will be hard for conservatives to accept over the coming months.

Trump is somewhat to blame, but Dems were the ones calling for exorbitant packages and provisions within those packages. Compare the Republican package requests to the Democrats and they're a mile apart.

I usually buy a dozen eggs. They run me about $4.49-$4.99. They're cage free or organic. I'm not sure what the price is for 18, but I'd imagine anywhere around $7-8. Where do you reside? That's an exorbitant price for eggs.

Yea but that's not due to economic policy. The shortage of eggs is because of the Avian flu that has wiped out birds and chickens across the U.S.

[bladefd]

Yea but that's not due to economic policy. The shortage of eggs is because of the Avian flu that has wiped out birds and chickens across the U.S.

Yup.



As demand for eggs has risen, production in the U.S. has slumped because of the ongoing bird, or "avian," flu epidemic. Nearly 58 million birds have been infected with avian flu as of January 6, the USDA said, making it the deadliest outbreak in U.S. history. Infected birds must be slaughtered, causing egg supplies to fall and prices to surge.

Families and restaurants alike are now paying elevated prices for eggs as the outbreak impacts 47 states.

In California, for example, data shows the average price for a dozen eggs reached $7.37 last week, compared with $2.35 a year ago. The national average egg price per dozen wholesale is now $3.30, the USDA said last week. The average price for a dozen eggs by U.S. city grew to a record $3.58 in November, according to the most recent data available from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

Sharp said prices will likely not fall again until after new chickens are born without the infection and grow to egg-laying age. More than 300 flocks of farm-raised poultry have been hit by the outbreak as of last Friday, according to USDA data.

You talk about eggs because you're a tribal dolt, a sheep. I'm sure you complain about immigration and trans people for the same reason.

Rims are for immature fools who want to play rich. And I'm sure your Benz is used.Pretty much no body would put rims on a new s-class. Not even rappers. Degrades the car. The AMG package has its own rims.

And no one with a new s-class would waste their time in here crying about egg prices.

Was that you in Florida who posted that old junker Benz in here? Or another poster?


I usually don't read your posts, but this one is typical. I have the AMG rims, not some spinner rapper rims. Way to bury yourself

I don't like the w223 s class, you don't know what that is either btw. It's the model number that benz uses for their cars. It's got a lot of plastic, it doesn't have MBC ( You don't know what that is either ), it's interior is flat out atrocious compared to the w222, especially with that stupid Tesla screen. Mercedes is doing a revamp on it in 2026 and that's gonna be the only time I'm interested. If you go to mbworld, you will see in the w223 section a ton of people are going back to the w222 because it's a flat superior car.



You democrats are so damn stupid, it's honestly boring engaging with such prideful people that know so little about anything at all.

You are missing the point about eggs which is a SYMPTOM of how EXPENSIVE it has become. From food, gas, housing, transportation (essentials) and all the related insurance, life has become more costly, and prices are not coming down - they are baked in. This is reminiscent of Biden going on about Bidenomics and how good the economy is when Americans can SEE and FEEL it everyday.

Did you expect those prices to decrease? Do you think Biden can whip out a wand and magically make all businesses increase wages then everything will be fine or something? (In b4 brokesat starts crying about taxes is theft, **** off.)

How do so many old people not understand this stuff? USA is doing better than many expected although there are some global trends that have me feeling a little uneasy about the next few to 10 years. I'm not sure what the answer is but I'll be out if/when I see it really ramping up. And no not world war 3.

The Biden admin has made it one of their top priorities to suppress wage growth by importing as many foreign laborers into the country as possible... and I am not just talking about unskilled border jumpers, there has been an enormous number of tech workers flown in from abroad (especially SE Asia) in the past few years. A close friend of mine manages a team of engineers at the intel chip fab outside Portland, and over the past 5 years his team has gone from a couple Indians to like 75% Indians... and despite the fact that most of these Indians are only able to do 1/3 of the work of the people they replaced, upper management loves them because they accept 1/3 the pay that an american engineer would take and because they never complain about stuff like abusive work conditions since they're scared that their work visa could be taken away.

2024 had the highest ever h1b application filings by far. It went from 201k in 2020 to 780k in 2024. If 99% of these applications are being approved as you claim, then its no surprise that tech jobs are getting swamped with pajeets.

[rmt]

It is Biden's policies that are causing PAIN to us. Let me count (some of) the ways:

BORDER/IMMIGRATION - what do you think all these millions of people who should not be here are doing to our schools, hospitals, courts, housing, roads/infrastructure, city budgets, etc.? Taking away resources that should be used by/on us - lowering our standard of living - less sanitation, less police/emt, less library services, etc. And lowering wages/taking jobs from the lowest earners.

CLIMATE CHANGE - give away EV tax credits (to rich people), mandate more environmental requirements that push up prices up, more restrictions on drilling/fracking/oil industry, more permitting requirements that slow down building of more housing, roads, etc. MORE REGULATIONS.

UKRAINE - Biden/Blinken pushing war vs Russia and entry into NATO - "Ukraine will become a member of NATO. Our purpose at the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership," Blinken told reporters in Brussels. I predict Trump will threaten to pull support/aid and force Ukraine to negotiate the end of this war. IOW, Ukraine in NATO is crazy - that means we are supposed to defend Ukraine against Russia? If money/aid is spent, it should be on us - not Ukraine.

INFLATION is at 3.5% - that's almost double what the Federal Reserve wants it be (2%). Biden's outrageous SPENDING is fueling inflation - we need to spend less - not forgive student loans on the backs of those who didn't go to college. They need to stop with the spending so interest rates can be lowered and we can get some interest rate relief on housing/automobiles/businesses. And that includes not submitting $7.3 TRILLION a year budgets.

In short, Biden policies, if elected, will continue to make inflation WORSE and inflict even MORE PAIN.

[Bill Gates]

The entire concept of this thread is null due to the fact that most of the US inflation was caused by the Trump Cares Act that poured Trillions onto the population. The other reason it is null is due to the fact that wages have been out pacing inflation for quite a while now.

Generally speaking, prices are baked in, but we don't want them to come down, deflation is worse than inflation. Deflation causes businesses to go under, and then we can say goodbye to this record breaking unemployment. The way you beat inflation is wages beating inflation, and currently that is happening.

-You have to be under a certain income to get ev tax credits.
-we drill more oil and natural gas than ever before in American history. I think we drill by far the most oil in the world. What limitations?
-what's wrong with pushing for clean energy generation in the long term if it's as cheap or cheaper than oil/gas/coal (and self-sustaining?
-USA is not pushing for war against Russia - USA is helping Ukraine from falling to a dictator. Russia tried and things haven't worked out for them. Sweden/Finland both are part of nato now, Russia has more nato on their borders than before. What's their goal again?
-trump will force Ukraine to negotiate? You mean give up the war, get sacked by Russia and overtaken quickly?
-High spending isn't the only cause for inflation. There are many different causes for it, such as the economy being overactive and jobs market doing too good. They are trying to slow down the economy because it's essentially hyperactive coming out from the covid shutdowns.
-wasn't the student loans forgiveness stopped?
-Interest rates aren't high due to high spending. They have been artificially raised to fight inflation. It's the biggest tool the feds have to bring down inflation and will continue until inflation starts getting under 3%
-I want the deficit down too. Biden can do better there. We don't want Trump level deficits anymore, and biden is failing there. I would think he can at least do better than trump rather than stoop to trump's level.
-inflation has been going down for the past year and half. According to the pattern, they expected inside 3.4%, it's 3.5%. It's not going down as fast as they want it to. High interest rates will continue until inflation goes down more

And his $1.2 trillion Inflation Reduction Act (really CLIMATE CHANGE bill signed 8/22 when inflation was 8.3%), his $740 billion Infrastructure Act and his $53 billion Chips Act - these aren't going to pour trillions onto the population? That adds up to $3.893 trillion - I guess that isn't going to cause inflation?

Yet Trump's $2.2 trillion Cares Act IN THE MIDDLE of COVID's SHUTDOWN caused MOST of US Inflation? LOL

Bill Gates is a bad faith actor and he's totally full of shit.

Zero doubt in mind he participated in the Covid hysteria and was one one of the mindless lemmings who followed the propaganda and urged that we should shut the entire country down.

Trump didn't want to, but he was under immense pressure from both his own government and also the medical industrial complex who were clearly colluding against him. Once that decision to keep people home indefinitely was made, we had no choice but to print money. It's what democrats wanted. Now he has the nerve to republicans for inflation when we were the ones in real time shouting from the rooftops that it was an awful idea. No mention of how we were bullied, shamed and silenced into submission.

This economy we're experiencing is entirely the fault of democrat politicians and left wing supporters like Bill Gates who cheered it on and allowed it to take place.

Not going to let them rewrite history.

It is Biden's policies that are causing PAIN to us. Let me count (some of) the ways:



CLIMATE CHANGE - give away EV tax credits (to rich people), mandate more environmental requirements that push up prices up, more restrictions on drilling/fracking/oil industry, more permitting requirements that slow down building of more housing, roads, etc. MORE REGULATIONS.

Wages have not kept up with inflation. They have for the very top of earners, which skew some graphs, but not for the overall workforce. Not everyone can be a principal engineer at Meta and make $750k, basing data on the exceptions is always bad. Also, inflation in food outpaced overall inflation by quite a bit and this is the expense that hurts the average working American the most.

[Bill Gates]

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1351276/wage-growth-vs-inflation-us/

Wages have been outpacing inflation since February. It will eventually normalize as usual. Actually the only thing that hasn't normalized is the housing market which is pretty much the entire reason inflation is higher than 2%.

[Bill Gates]

Also, inflation in food outpaced overall inflation by quite a bit and this is the expense that hurts the average working American the most.

Overall food has gone up 2.2% over the last 12 months. Only up 1.2% for groceries, and 4.2% eating out.

That is on par with normal inflation levels.

You'd see 10% increases of price over 4 years time even under normal inflation levels though.

It is Biden's policies that are causing PAIN to us. Let me count (some of) the ways:

BORDER/IMMIGRATION - what do you think all these millions of people who should not be here are doing to our schools, hospitals, courts, housing, roads/infrastructure, city budgets, etc.? Taking away resources that should be used by/on us - lowering our standard of living - less sanitation, less police/emt, less library services, etc. And lowering wages/taking jobs from the lowest earners.

CLIMATE CHANGE - give away EV tax credits (to rich people), mandate more environmental requirements that push up prices up, more restrictions on drilling/fracking/oil industry, more permitting requirements that slow down building of more housing, roads, etc. MORE REGULATIONS.

UKRAINE - Biden/Blinken pushing war vs Russia and entry into NATO - "Ukraine will become a member of NATO. Our purpose at the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership," Blinken told reporters in Brussels. I predict Trump will threaten to pull support/aid and force Ukraine to negotiate the end of this war. IOW, Ukraine in NATO is crazy - that means we are supposed to defend Ukraine against Russia? If money/aid is spent, it should be on us - not Ukraine.

INFLATION is at 3.5% - that's almost double what the Federal Reserve wants it be (2%). Biden's outrageous SPENDING is fueling inflation - we need to spend less - not forgive student loans on the backs of those who didn't go to college. They need to stop with the spending so interest rates can be lowered and we can get some interest rate relief on housing/automobiles/businesses. And that includes not submitting $7.3 TRILLION a year budgets.

In short, Biden policies, if elected, will continue to make inflation WORSE and inflict even MORE PAIN.

"Trump would fix everything!" :oldlol:

Did you know the current inflation was primarily driven by the shutdowns opening up again, early on with supply chain issues, and high consumer demand? Yes, the massive bills under biden didn't help, but that wasn't the cause by itself or arguably one of the 3 biggest causes. Top 4? Yes, sure probably. There is currently also widespread price gouging taking place with companies wanting to take advantage of record profits. That could also be a bigger cause than those 2 bills you mentioned. It certainly is a top 5 cause keeping inflation up.

Anything else you wish to say?

And every one of my college buddies who went into the finance field said that was a billionaire giveaway as it happened 7 years ago. The tax cut increased more tax dollars going to corporations thus the literal pockets of the wealthiest shareholders, buying back their own stocks and artificially creating their own money multiplier. That created the largest transfer of assets, thus exacerbating wealth transfer under inflation, which the wealthy can cause any time they want to. And it’s not because we have crystal balls, it’s because if you take any level of economic education in school you are slammed with case study after case study of this happening: the jfk tax cuts(a democrat, not that I give a shit) for the wealthy, the Reagan cuts, the bush cuts; so yeah the Trump cuts were incredibly predictable for anyone with a modicum of education in the matter.

And republicans are by far the bigger spenders. Of the last 16 presidents, there have been 8 republicans and 8 dems. The only democrats who left office with a bigger deficit than when they came in were JFK and Jimmy Carter.

https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/Ok, so when I said the wealthy can cause inflation ‘whenever they want’ I didn’t mean it literally. It’s colloquialism. They don’t push a ‘global inflation’ button. CME owns ~30% of the Dow and the SP 500, they can’t own more because they’re already over saturated. They would have to schedule buy and sell dates for hedgefunds and congress members(whoever inside trades with them) and create a need to pump more cash into the economy(you need to create an appropriate reserve to prevent a second Great Depression). It’s convenient that shareholders of the banks who own the FED are some of these inside traders too. This takes time, and yes, it’s as sinister as it sounds. Trump increased deficit spending AFTER tax cuts to artificially pump up a down market in order to accelerate this process leading to great short term(tesla was $380 in march and became like $2000 that same oct, along with a lot of other companies) at the cost of the long term. What’s more is single family home investment was seen as a high capital low reward venture in the past, but if you give the top .01% more money than they know what to do with, they will invest in the next thing until they face oversaturation in the market and move on to the next, and so on until we have hedgefunds buying single family homes and skyrocketing prices. Absolutely predictable, because that’s what happened historically. Did I predict specifically single family homes this soon? Gun to my head, probably not, but the trend(and thus the damage) was easy to spot.

And it’s not just the Trump cuts. Like I said before JFK, Reagan, Bush and Trump cuts all caused this. A wealth transfer like that takes decades or you risk crashing the market/ causing civil unrest. The inflation was very predictable though, even without the pandemic. But by all means, keep pretending it wasn’t the tax cuts and keep simping for your billionaire overlords. One day our kids and or kid’s kids won’t be able to afford houses, but that’s all good because our generations got ours.

[Baller234]

Hey genius, when Trump cut taxes for corporations... it applies to all corporations big and small. Not just billionaires.

Every single business owner and self employed contractor did better under Trump. There is extremely low consumer confidence right now across the board and absolutely no one in the private business sector is excited about the possibility of four more years of Brandon.

The strength of an economy is measured by the ability to conduct business and the access to goods and services, both which were stronger under evil Orange Face. In fact the economy was doing so well that TDS libs like Bill Maher were on national television saying how he wishes the economy could take a hit so that Trump loses momentum.

Bidenflation Soars To 18.8%, Squeezing Americans

Inflation results from excessive Federal Reserve money printing and government spending, expanding the money supply. This leads to prices rising and effectively acts as a hidden tax on everyone.

Average hourly earnings for all employees dropped 2.5% to $11.11 in March 2024 from $11.39 in January 2021 when Biden assumed office. According to Mark Zandi, the chief economist at Moody's Analytics, the typical U.S. household now requires $1,069 more each month (equivalent to $12,828 annually) compared to three years ago, $784 more per month compared to two years ago, and an additional $227 per month compared to last year.

We developed the TIPP CPI, a metric that uses February 2021, the month after President Biden's inauguration, as its base to measure the rate of change. All TIPP CPI measures are anchored to the base month of February 2021, making it exclusive to the economy under President Biden's watch.

The BLS CPI rate doesn't accurately capture Americans’ inflation struggles. The official BLS CPI year-over-year increases will compare prices to already inflated bases in the coming months, and these statistics could mask the full impact. Further, the media and some economists frequently use the low CPI rate to present a rosy economic outlook supporting Biden’s policies.

For March 2024, the BLS reported a 3.5% annual CPI increase. Compare this to the TIPP CPI of 18.8% - a 15.3-point difference. Prices have increased by 18.8% since President Biden took office. On an annual basis, TIPP CPI is 6.0%.

Was that happening 2017, 2018 and 2019 before covid hit? I seem to recall record low unemployment and rising wages for blacks and hispanics under Trump. Here's a refresher:

Donald Trump gets little jobs credit from blacks, Hispanics
Published 6:47 PM EDT, May 5, 2019

Black and Hispanic workers are seeing record-low unemployment and rising wages under President Trump, yet community leaders say it likely is not enough to sway their support to the president in next year’s election.

The unemployment rate for Hispanics dropped to 4.2% in April, the lowest level since the government began tracking the data in 1973.

Unemployment for black Americans was at a near historic low of 6.7%, up slightly from the record low set last year.

Average hourly pay rose 3.2% in the past 12 months. The fastest increase in pay was pocketed by low-wage workers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“The new jobs report is further proof that the Trump economy continues to boom and deliver benefits that all Americans are feeling,” said Trump campaign spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany. “With this kind of momentum, we look forward to hearing the economic plans of the Democrats as they spin tales about Americans not feeling the results of the Trump economy, when in fact workers everywhere can feel the boom.”

Corporations and shareholders are seeing record profits so the money is there. That’s the govt job after all, to make sure the market can flourish right? Should he micro how corporations spread wealth within their own company? Why not pay their workers? You guys don’t want social safety nets that allow people to be pickier about their pay and job prospects, you want deregulation and less labor laws, you think the $20 min wage in ca is abhorrent; so tell me… what should the president do about lagging wages.

If Biden were to do that, Republicans/conservatives would be crying "COMMUNISM!!" It's clear that they are only bitchin' due to who is in power. It's meant to be misleading and disingenuous.

Was that happening 2017, 2018 and 2019 before covid hit? I seem to recall record low unemployment and rising wages for blacks and hispanics under Trump. Here's a refresher:

Donald Trump gets little jobs credit from blacks, Hispanics
Published 6:47 PM EDT, May 5, 2019

Black and Hispanic workers are seeing record-low unemployment and rising wages under President Trump, yet community leaders say it likely is not enough to sway their support to the president in next year’s election.

The unemployment rate for Hispanics dropped to 4.2% in April, the lowest level since the government began tracking the data in 1973.

Unemployment for black Americans was at a near historic low of 6.7%, up slightly from the record low set last year.

Average hourly pay rose 3.2% in the past 12 months. The fastest increase in pay was pocketed by low-wage workers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“The new jobs report is further proof that the Trump economy continues to boom and deliver benefits that all Americans are feeling,” said Trump campaign spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany. “With this kind of momentum, we look forward to hearing the economic plans of the Democrats as they spin tales about Americans not feeling the results of the Trump economy, when in fact workers everywhere can feel the boom.”

Bidenflation Soars To 18.8%, Squeezing Americans

Inflation results from excessive Federal Reserve money printing and government spending, expanding the money supply.

You’re being really dumb or at least tunnel-visioned here. Inflation results from a variety of factors. Massive tax cuts are a big factor.

Just in case someone is going to spin this as me being pro taxing everyone out the ass..that’s not what I’m saying. But you willingly ignoring a huge part of the equation is wild to me.

As a temporary effect, yeah, but in the long term they technically shouldnt be, whatever money the government collects through taxes still ultimately goes somewhere else. The same amount of money will still exist. If the money is out there it's gonna find it's way into the market one way or another.

Ultimately the only DIRECT way to inflate the dollar as far as I'm aware is to increase the supply of money or reduce the supply of goods. That's what a dollar's value comes down to. You could argue a variety of different factors can lead to one of those things happening. But the direct cause of inflation is gonna be one of those two things, methinks.

[FultzNationRISE]

Anyway inflation does suck for us, because we end up with less disposable income, at least for a time, but think of all the places around the world where there is no disposable income, and rising food prices equate to outright starvation. That's actually happening. It doesnt get a ton of play in the news but tens of millions of people around the world who WERENT starving before covid are starving now.

And yeah I know some people will say "well the planet is overpopulated" and yes that is absolutely true, but that doesnt mean covid and the response to it was some kinda calculated thing specifically timed to have this effect on a planet with unsustainable population growth and development. It just means that pandemics happen sometimes. Well I mean they hadnt happened in a long time, but this one happened. And we just have to deal with it. On the bright side, it significantly sped up the path to reduced carbon emissions in the developed world. On the tragic side, millions in the third world died due to the supply chain disruptions caused by Covid.

So when you pay an extra 30, 40 cents for eggs just remember that huge numbers of people in Sri Lanka and Ghana and Yemen are actually dying off. So much so that the continuous encroachment on natural preserves and wildlife in these regions is probably even reversing to an extent. It's a humanitarian tragedy. Just remember that the extra 30 cents you pay each time you buy eggs is killing those people off. Youre paying 30 cents more to eradicate human life in these places. And you can thank Joe Biden for that. I mean that sarcastically of course, because it's a terrible thing that I'm not happy is happening. Thanks a lot Joe.

[rmt]

I agree, but answer the question. You’re blaming Biden for lagging wages, so obviously you believe there’s a policy he can enforce at the macro level to remedy this.

Where exactly do you see me blaming Biden for lagging wages? I object to Biden's spending and CA's passing of a $20 minimum (restaurant?) wage.

Is there MORE money in the system when there are massive tax cuts? I would say NO - it's the same amount of money - just a matter of WHO has/gets the money - the government OR everybody else (taxpayer, corporations, etc.). I believe the government should SPEND what/less than they take in (of course, I don't mean special situations like world wars, covid, etc.). So you probably mean the deficit (less tax revenue without cutting spending) - but I have already shown the inflation numbers under Trump and his tax cuts did not significantly affect inflation.

So, going forward, who thinks Biden's $7.3 trillion budget is going to make inflation worse than whatever Trump would put forward? I don't think (even with increased defense spending), Trump's budget would be that crazy. Regarding defense spending - I think they should move away from the big stuff [aircraft carriers/planes] and toward drones/technology/AI [collaborate with Silicon Valley (lol-that ain't happening)] and streamline. Every department in federal government should cut their budget 2% until this debt is under control. But no, they're probably going to continue with this automatic annual % increase and nutty spending until our dollar is worthless/no longer the world's reserve currency (then we'll really be in ****).

He is spot on. Joe Biden does not control egg prices. To be fair Trump was pegged unfairly the same way. But if we are going to make any kind of progress the general population really needs to stop pretending that Presidents are in complete control of the world's economy.

Even under that false guise Biden has done better with the US economy than the rest of the world has.

For the most part the entire globe is fighting inflation together. Clearly this is beyond the leader of any nation. But you can swap that to just 50% control of the US economy if you want to. And please feel free to explain how Joe Biden single handedly made eggs expensive.

Good luck explaining logic to rmt or any of the Trumpeters. You won't get anywhere. They think everything was wonderful under lil Donny and everything bad under biden. They don't realize that we were hit by covid and just came out of shutdowns a year and half ago. Inflation has come down significantly, and we are doing better than pretty much all of the developed countries.

All they have are numbers before covid but that means leaving out the elephant in the room (covid, shutdowns). Rmt is being intentionally obtuse, knowing full well the impact of covid, but it would damage the agenda.

Iirc, Trump (after following the ILL-advice of public health officials like Fauci, Birx, etc) quickly realized the shutdown was a mistake and pushed for opening up. It was the DEMS who wanted us at home and masked and who were big on shutdowns - especially the teachers' unions. Republican states (like my home state Florida) pushed for opening up. Are you seriously absolving Dems of blame - what revisionist history.

[bladefd]

Unvaccinated were dying at a significant higher rate than vaccinated throughout the 2020-2023 saga. The virus got weaker as time went by with later variants. Shutdown was the right call at least from summer 2020 to spring 2022 once the majority was vaccinated.

I strongly disagree - especially for kids. The unnecessary long-term harm to our children is a DISGRACE.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sweden was among the few countries that did not enforce strict lockdown measures but instead relied more on voluntary and sustainable mitigation recommendations. While supported by the majority of Swedes, this approach faced rapid and continuous criticism. Unfortunately, the respectful debate centered around scientific evidence often gave way to mudslinging. However, the available data on excess all-cause mortality rates indicate that Sweden experienced fewer deaths per population unit during the pandemic (2020–2022) than most high-income countries and was comparable to neighboring Nordic countries through the pandemic. An open, objective scientific dialogue is essential for learning and preparing for future outbreaks.

Who teaches kids in schools?

Couldn't find for teachers - here are employees:

Miami-Dade County Public Schools Employee Average Age
Less than 18 years 5%
18-20 years 8%
20-30 years 39%
30-40 years 23%
40+ years 23%

https://www.zippia.com/miami-dade-county-public-schools-careers-291405/demographics/

Only 23% (of employees) over 40 years old - if career teacher (say started after college graduation) and works 30 years for pension, they would retire at 52. How many teachers are over 52 years old? What do you consider old? So, instead of allowing a small percentage of "old" teachers to teach remotely, teachers' unions forced all students (and teachers) to go remote.

And who teaches kids in schools in Sweden? And their death rate was not significantly worse than countries who shutdown.

Aren't there OLD doctors, nurses, firefighters, EMTs, etc? What's so special about teachers? Oh yes, they work with the age group LEAST likely to be affected by covid. Yet the teachers' unions/Democratic arm forced closed schools (sometimes long) after other areas/businesses opened up.

[Baller234]

During the pandemic, mostly every other industry was forced to adapt on the fly in order to stay operational. I remember sitting in on countless zoom meetings and had to jump through all sorts of hoops every time a new guideline or restriction was handed out. The state did everything they could to make it harder for us to work... but we stuck it out and worked around it the best way we could, even it required having to move mountains sometimes. We had no other choice.

The public school sector on the other hand did everything they could to AVOID having to re-open. Over a year into the pandemic and some states hadn't even formulated a plan yet. Didn't take a rocket scientist to see what was really going on.
