President Biden

[PawDawg]

This is true, but unless Biden et al does something stupid...which there is a 99% chance they will!...the handouts are phasing out. People are returning to work, slowly, and that is because there no NEW handouts currently planned and because businesses have voluntarily raised minimum wages and because there have been millions of vacant positions. If, big IF, Biden et al don't do something stupid the US economy will also see a resurgence of small businesses opening, from restaurants to on-line apps to craft services (like plumbers...). The US and World economies SHOULD come roaring back, and only stupid guvmint interference could derail it.

The government teat will always be there for those who love free crap. That and more was hidden in the trillions passed since Biden took office. Inflation will continue to overtake any progress that might be made by the bogus "economic recovery". We are in survival mode now. Even his reparation supporters receiving free food, health insurance, and no income tax can afford $4/gal fuel.

You are an idiot. I know what the bogus stat means. Nobody is getting laid off because people are not looking for jobs. Only an idiot would think business is as good as it was in year 3 of Trump's term.

Those not looking for jobs are living on the trillions you people stuck into bills that only leftists and RINOs voted for.

It isn’t a bogus stat. Initial jobless claims is something that all economists use in their models.

As I said, “enhanced unemployment” has been gone for over 6 months now. That money is gone. Has been for awhile. You would know this too if you followed the evidence rather than the spinmeisters.

Unlike you, I don't live in a sheltered setting. I live and work in the real world among those (black, white, and Hispanic) who are trying to get by. Many of those are just looking for the next handout to go with the constant handouts you leftist think will keep them voting for more socialism. Those people ARE NOT looking for jobs, which skews your pretty little chart propaganda.

The urgent need for more skilled labor is what's keeping those employed who otherwise would be and should be canned for the HORRIBLE service they provide.

A system that skews the economic gains to the few with decreasing share going to the workers can build resentment in those that only contribute labor to the economy. Particularly when owners are eager to call folks lazy rather than lending an empathetic ear.

Wow! straight from the Communist Manifesto.

You missed the fact that Solomon Islands cut ties to Taiwan and turned to China in 2019, you know, when your guy was president.

Before this topic fades away from this thread...

When I read and then respond to your silly posts I feel like I am speaking with a young child. Like, "Why is the sky blue?" You are either truly naive or you post completely erroneous information designed to distract and/or stir the pot for entertainment purposes. I think I am giving you too much credit by accepting the latter, so I must assume it is the former. You are just naive...like a small child.

You pose no danger here, on the BB&B Forum, since everyone here already knows how goofy you are. But I am somewhat concerned about the damage that morons like you might do elsewhere, like on some social media platform.

Are you going to address the fact that this happened under Trump? Those are facts. Solomon Islands stopped recognizing Taiwan independence in 2019 in exchange for support from China. Not saying the Trump administration responded wrong, but it was they, not Biden, that gave Solomon Islands the cold shoulder in response. Biden started to bring them back in the fold by moving to reestablish a US Embassy there. Those are the facts. What am I missing?

Okay, this is one of those "Why is the sky blue?" instances.

In a nutshell, the Solomon Islands issues are internal, political problems. There is a commie faction seeking to link their nation to the Chicoms. It was they, while in power, that unilaterally disregarded western ties in favor of the links to China. The Trump Admin did NOT give them the "cold shoulder" as you say. Trump responded decisively refusing to continue to finance a government that had turned hostile to Taiwan and to the West. The Trump Admin did not cause this, the Solomon Islands' change of allegiance was NOT in response to something (a policy) the Trump Admin did.

Next, and this is extremely important to understand, this is more an Australian matter than a US one. It has been Australia that has had the closest relations with the Solomon Islands. It is the Aussies who have carried the Western Banner of democracy there. If there has been a failure, of any kind, it falls on the Aussies. But, that is not true anyway. Western democracies do not fiddle in the internal political affairs of sovereign nations. The Aussies did not interfere in the elections that brought the commie-leaning faction into power.

Neither the Trump or the Biden Admin is to blame for any of this. The only question is how will the West, led by Australia, respond. Allowing the Chicoms a military foothold in the Solomons is akin to the Cuban Missile Crisis of the 1960's. Australia has to take the lead, but need the US's support, especially if tensions rise to the brink of military action.

In the bigger picture, the free world must stand against Chicom expansionism. Taiwan is "ground zero" and as such everything revolves around it. How other nations view/treat Taiwan is critical. Under Trump the US built coalitions, Quads, which the Biden Admin has just walked away from. Japan and Australia, with some help from India, has picked up the mantle and is now LEADING the charge. Some of the small countries who have recently switched allegiance to the Chicoms have done so out of fear that, w/o the US, said Quads may not be able to protect them from Chicom aggression. They look at the boob in the WH and say, we can't depend on that clown.

Biden is a weak leader, worse! He loves himself commie nations and will not take a hard stance against his buddies, the Chicoms. Maybe he'll dispatch Hunter to "make some more deals."

All of this addresses your question, "What am I missing?"

Yeah, I get all this re: Solomon Islands. Frisco was the one blaming it on Biden. I was pointing out this all started before Biden got in office.

You love that empathy word don't you? You claim to practice it, but you don't. You can't do that inside your bubble.

Wow! straight from the Communist Manifesto.

Exactly what I thought when I read it. It's just missing the "religion is the opiate" diatribe, but he has expressed that elsewhere.

Just wondering where the empathy is for the folks being hurt by the invasion on our southern border, or those hurt by having to attend schools in inner cities run by the woke idiots that are teaching them skin color is the determining factor for success while the upper class woke idiots' children are learning stuff like racist math and racist history and racist English (and will continue to out earn those they claim to have empathy for).

You are describing a fictitious FoxNews fantasyland that they need you to believe so you will continue to support this one sided culture war.

[Guisslapp]

It isn’t socialist to believe that your income shouldn’t be taxed higher because it comes from the sacrifice of your time and labor than it does from the risk of your capital.

You're operating on the same level as Biden!
