The slight majority of Americans say they are worse off than four years ago, while their assessments of the U.S. economy are subpar and inflation remains a key concern.
Yeah I joked about the 10% worse, they just raised interest rates and all the warmongering lead to inflation (red sea bypass due to Israel and Russian oil getting cut off)
Excuse me for remembering what happened in the last 4 years
Also Biden ended the COVID unemployment payouts, boneheaded move because COVID numbers are higher than ever.
I’m seriously asking why anyone should bother if things will get 10% worse every year.
I’m serious things are getting worse for a lot of people. Maybe 10% is a bit hyperbolic, but my rent went up by more than 10% in just the last year, I know I’m not alone there.
Food prices went up, COVID subsidies ended, energy prices go up, transport costs go up. All tied to this admins foreign and domestic policies.
We can quibble over if it’s 10% or something slightly lower number, but unless you’re in a bubble things have been getting worse for people.
Also why bother? I’m willing to fight even if it looks hopeless and I don’t think I’m alone there either.
Because even if you are being hyperbolic about the 10%, if it definitely always gets worse every year, then it sounds like it’s just hopeless and we should all give up. Because, based on what you have said so far, life will never get better no matter what.
Now you’re lying. Biden didn’t say anything about a 10% change every year, better or worse, you did.
You’re lying to avoid the questions: Were you joking, or will things get 10% worse every year? If so, why bother?
(Also, just so you know, I could not give less of a shit who you vote for.)
Now please answer the questions.

They ended COVID administratively
If that was a joke, I wouldn’t pursue a comedy career any time soon.
Almost as funny as the Democrats “ending” COVID by cutting off payouts so people would “go back to work”
And now you’re making me think you were also lying about your claim that everything will get significantly worse every year was a joke.

Nope, I’m seriously asking why anyone should bother if things will get 10% worse every year.
The problem here is you can’t seem to decide whether that claim is serious or a joke.

Does it look hopeless or is it just hopeless?

That makes any fighting pointless.

Maybe it’s antisemitic to say the US is aiding and abetting a genocide 🤷
