How the capitalist system works. Survive or die.

Not capitalism. Fascism is not capitalism, dude.

Since the mid-80s, Republicans have consistently been worse on the economy.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This old lie again???????!?

Not disputable, either. This is historical fact.

Learn what 'fact' means, dumbass. It does NOT mean Universal Truth.

The crash of American aluminum production is a huge problem ....the Chinese have us by the balls because we generally dont make things anymore.

False dichotomy fallacy. There are many nations where things are made, not just the States or China.

Worst inflation since Jimmy Carter.

No. Since FDR.

Your nonsense does become annoying.

no, that's lib'rul babble.....the best economy we had was Trump's first three years........the worst we had was Carter's presidency, until Biden topped it.....

No, FDR again.
Carter was bad, no doubt. But FDR was worse. Biden has surpassed Carter's mess.

The plan for us to eat bugs rather than meat seems pretty iffy with the way that insect populations are dying off.

Cockroaches.

Hackery at its finest.

Any rational, non-partisan American would want the economy of the '90s, under Clinton. Obama led the longest recovery.

Trump crashed the economy. He was an economic failure.

Fiction.

 

[Into the Night]

I remember when demmycrats hated cherry picking.......yet you only look at one of Trump's four years and two of Obama's eight......yeah, Obama had "the longest recovery"......it took him six years to get started on it......remember his 2012 mulligan campaign?....."give me another chance and I will do what I promised I would do the last time I campaigned"......

It didn't recover until Trump took office.
Obama 'recovered' the economy by calling it the 'new normal' and printing money hand over fist.

Why couldn't Mitch McConnel save the plant? Why are Mitch and Rand so incompetent?

Good question.

LOL - only "one" of Trump's years.

What good is a President's economy if it tanks his last year in office? Will that be part of his '24 campaign sloganeering - "Hey, I can give you a couple of good economic years, but it won't last!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry dude, DEMOCRATS shut down the economy using covid19 fear mongering!
It was DEMOCRATS that started the economic depression!


You can't project YOUR problems on Trump!

Your nonsense does become annoying.

Into the Night belongs on your ignore list.

Bush lied us to war and Crashed the economy in his last year

It’s what republicans do


Make deadly lies and crash the economy with failed economic ideas that benefit only the wealthy

Trump is not a Democrat, dude. DEMOCRATS crashed the economy, not Trump.

 

[Into the Night]

LOL LOL LOL I can tell you’ve never been to a primary aluminum mill. Not only that I bet you a dollar you couldn’t name a recent policy change at the Federal Level that’s the cause of the problem.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Another one that wants to ignore Biden's executive orders!

 

[Noking]

Worst inflation since Jimmy Carter.

Maybe if slouches like you would start working for a living the situation won't be so bad.

Actually, while I was in the Navy, at one point I was buying aluminum by the semi-load regularly. Mostly 5052H32, 6061T6, among other grades and know all about machining, welding, forming, and whatever else about it.

I regularly use 5052, 6061, and 2024 aluminum (in various hardness).

Aluminum requires massive amounts of electricity to manufacture, and mills usually have long-term contracts for supply of it.

Bingo.

If this particular mill had to renew a contract for electrical power and the cost was now much higher, I can easily see that as a problem.

And the result is a closed mill, obviously.

Back when Cali was being ass raped by ENRON and having problems getting power, ALCOA among others shut their operations down and sold California their contracted power at a profit rather than make aluminum. The price of aluminum shot up significantly.

Happened up here in Washington too, since we had to help California pay for it's problem.

Now, we have a Joke of a jackass in the White House that's trying to force the country to go Green with wind and solar and all that associated stupidity.

Exactly.

That is driving the price of energy up just as it has everywhere else in the world it's been tried.

For the simple reason the solar and wind power are the most expensive methods of producing power, watt for watt, by far.

ROFL......dude, the 2020 economy was YOUR campaign slogan in the last election.......you knew you couldn't beat him unless you triggered the economy to tank so you closed the economy and put everyone on the unemployment rolls.......and you still only won by 44,000 votes in an unconstitutional election.......

All correct except there was no election. The method stated for choosing the President of the United States is very clearly described in the Constitution, and that wasn't followed.

Thanks for admitting that Trump left the economy in shambles.

DEMOCRATS shut down the economy, dumbass. Not Trump.
