How is everyone coping with the Great Depression

[Freddy Figbottom]

How much do you think Ukraine aid - which is keeping one our enemies from taking over a strategic area of that part of the world, and also degrading their military capability - costs each taxpayer?

domino theory fucking red scare military industrial complex jackoff boy.


that's you.

Ever heard of state, city, county, property, sales taxes, and fees?

It is virtually impossible to get to a 33% effective tax. Maybe she was exaggerating... Or maybe she was just lying... Or maybe she does not even exist.

Compared to many other countries, the U.S. came out of the pandemic in fairly good shape. This isn't just some Internet opinion. It is based on reality, on data, on facts and figures that are easily found and available to anyone who is interested in the truth -- not the crap fed to some by their chosen "news" media. I actually saw a comment yesterday on a local congresscritter's official FB page from a MAGAT bimbo claiming that gas prices are so high because Biden stopped U.S. oil production because OPEC told him to. I kid you not.

Biden has done a good job at rebuilding, and even growing the economy. If we can get him reelected, I suspect he will be like Clinton and Obama, and see some wild successes in a second term.

You don't need to respond to me. You still can of course, but the above is the last response I will read from you, and this post is the last time I will respond to you.

True. Other gullible deplorables believe that rot, and spread it like herpes.

The biggest question for me is figuring out if they are true believers or just malicious liars. Usually they lean one way or the other.

It cost them far more than securing the US border and the billions of leftover cash could be used to rebuild the country's mental institutions thus saving innocent lives.
Any excess would serve the country well if we build super prisons to lock up all these miscreants stealing, carjacking, looting, burning, and committing general mayhem on the general population.

That's a paperwork fix through passing an Immigration bill and making hiring illegals a criminally punishable crime. 30 day minimum first sentence.

The greatest deterrence to illegal immigration this century was the Great Recession. No jobs, less illegals.

As for refugees, we should work with those nations closest to the problem on a humane solution.

Why won't Congress pass an effective Immigration Bill punishing those who hire, harbor or otherwise entice illegals to break the law along with a better work visa program and better oversight.

Well if they’ve blocked everything then that means Biden has gotten nothing through congress which would have impacted the economy doesn’t it?

The Dems had the power before. Now the Reds have the power they love"the power to tear things down such as Cutting taxes on the rich and corporations while gutting any institutions that might benefit the masses.

Other than stores disappearing and restaurants turning to shit this economic crash has not affected me......yet.

The general societal collapse however has me leaving my oasis even less...I just dont want to deal with it.

Our stores and restaurants are fine. Are you in a West Coast shithole, #10?

Retirement is a perfect fit for me!

I haven't really been checking because I knew from all the brilliant posters at JPP that we must have reached that point of economic collapse. How much is the market down? How is unemployment? Double digit yet? How about growth? How far negative has GDP growth gotten?

Oh, wait, I just checked. Inflation is down, job growth is slow and steady, GDP growth is also slow but steady.

What happened? Did ANYONE predict that we could tame inflation without a Great Depression?

Oh, that's right, I did.

Discuss how galactically stupid the JPP chicken littles turned out to be.

I have been trying to help keep people like you keep their jobs by using Uber Eats a lot.

Have you ever caught your delivery driver eating your food?

We ordered it a few times, but WIFE enjoys getting in her Jeep and driving, so it does not make much sense.

I'm coping with actual depression at the state of the world and how divided a country we are.

Most of the non-JPP commenters I've seen seem to be true believers. Like that lady who actually believes that Biden stopped oil drilling. They seem to have a very distorted idea of what powers a POTUS has, and little clue about how our economy works.

Earlier Niblick was claiming how much worse the world is now than during WWI, the Spanish Flu pandemic, the Great Depression and WWII combined. I disagree.

The world is getting better. Due to Al Gore's "The Information Highway" we are learning the opposite of "Ignorance is Bliss". My best advice is the Serenity Prayer.

Another reason why Trump attracts wackos and loves the poorly educated.

Chin up. We are about a year from driving a stake through the Trump cult and taking the Senate, the House, governships, state legislatures........ It is going to be a rout. Republicans just keep handing gifts to the Dems. Mike Johnson is the best guy they can come up with for Speaker of the House? A treasonous nutjob who thinks people are going to marry pets? That's your best and brightest?

ROTFLMFAO!!!! This might be the greatest rout election in US History. It will make 2010 look like a walk in the park.

I sure hope you're right. The way the polls are looking now it's going to be close, even with almost 100 indictments against trump. Just goes to show you how divided we are.

I wonder how many Trumpers converted all of their money to gold and buried it in the back yard or under their trailer homes?

Gold is down! Likely does not matter because they probably cant find where they buried it anyway.

An old friend of mine, no longer in the Republican party, fell for the survival food hype when Obama was president. He had $20,000 worth of freeze-dried food in his basement for about a decade.

Watching the differences in advertisers between different stations, especially Fox and CNN, is always interesting to me.

Pushing gold bullion has long been a staple of Fox News. IMO, it's pushing fear of an economic collapse. If that were the case, wouldn't ammunition and toilet paper be better commodities?
