Recession talk 2022-2023
GOP is trying to manufacture a recession with fear mongering so they can win at the polls.

Covid sucks, but most of the folks over 65 should’ve retired already. Working until you’re 80 or until you die is nuts in my opinion.

Recession talk 2022-2023
We saw how much bitching Grover norquist and dickheads like him complained about laid off / furloughed workers receiving unemployment benefits in 2020 while they simultaneously sucked up all the government money they could to bail out their companies or firms. The republicans were wrong again ( as usual), giving unemployment to workers didn’t cause the labor shortage. It’s the fact that we lost 1 million people to covid, have 100,00 folks suffering from long covid, and the aforementioned demographic changes which favor workers.

Demographics should still mitigate some of the damage. The big problem with 2008-2015 was you had the biggest generation at the time ( baby boomers) entrenched in their careers and things were compounded by the bush administration actually encouraging companies to outsource jobs by giving them a tax break to do it before the Great Recession hit. The millennials which are now the biggest generation, were trying to break into the work force while all of this shit was going down. To make matters worse, baby boomers didn’t retire and clutched their jobs like members of the senate hold onto a senate seat. We had 8% unemployment and 15%+ under employment. Gen Z is starting to enter the work force and they’re much smaller than both millennials and the baby boomers. I just don’t see how unemployment and underemployment could be nearly as bad this time around.

Queue republicans going on all talk shows under the sun and saying the same thing “we’re in a recession! Hunker down! Invest in gold!”. The Q2 GDP fell by 0.9% and the first quarter GDP was low mainly because of supply chain issues. Republicans always resort to fear mongering because they have nothing to offer. If they take control of both chambers of congress, things will devolve into a horror show of pointless investigations into hunter biden and the 2020 election that is 110% legitimate. You want to know what a recession is really like? Get back to me when this recession is like 2009 when I went into a group interview vying with 40 other people for ONE call center job paying $9 an hour. That was what a real recession was like. Weakest recession ever, when 5 businesses within 1 mile of me all have signs saying you can start work the same day. I went to Ross the other day and they had a sign saying "16 and 17 year olds welcome to apply!" LOL!! repubs are a joke. We won’t go back to that because of all the baby boomers retiring. Workers have more power now.

Joe Biden 2022: Enter Dark Brandon
Just shows how truly shitty republicans are. Their motto should be party over country. I roll my eyes when they talk about being the party of family values, the party of law and order, and the party of the military. By actively rooting for a recession ( which would inflict pain and suffering on many of those Republican voters who live in a trailer, work at war mart, and vote R because owning the libs is fun) they prove that they truly don’t give a shit about this country or the people in it.

Probably 60-70% of Fox News watchers either have a mullet or are blue haired.

2022 Senate Elections
I was thinking about not voting this year and I always vote and vote democrat, but after the Supreme Court came out with that non-sense, I’ll just show up and vote straight ticket dem as a fuck you to the GOP. I hope it’s a similar boost to dems in the senate as the kavanaugh hearings were to republicans in 2018.

Just stumbled upon this thread and can’t read it with a straight face. I needed a good laugh. It’s so great to see a channel that focuses 110% of their effort on conspiracy theories and “owning the libs” to get their much needed come uppance.

2022 Senate Elections
I was just making the point that republicans are an inherently selfish party. All of their policies and beliefs revolve around things like “I have mine screw you”, “ leave me alone, get it yourself”, or “ god tells me this….. so it must be so”.

2022 Senate Elections
I’ve been saying it some recently, but it looks like republicans might be hurt by creepy toad and GOP mega donor Sheldon Adelson kicking the bucket. the guy used to throw them at least $100-$150 million dollars per election cycle. Finding people to give and donate in that party is difficult because they don’t care about the greater good. The party is all about god, their gun, their bible, lower my taxes and leave me alone while they pretend that the whole world isn’t cratering and suffering around them.

2022 Senate Elections
I wish stuff like this mattered, but we’ve seen time and time again that it only seems to hurt democrats. Cal Cunningham would be a US senator right now if he could just keep his pants on. Fox News and the desire to “own the libs even if it causes great personal sacrifice to you” is a lot to overcome. Lots of people get to the voting booth and vote R no matter what like they’ve been programmed to do.

2022 Senate Elections
Last cycle, I talked myself into believing that Lindsay Graham and Susan Collins could lose, but both of them crushed it. I’m not going to get excited about the Tim Ryan or McMullen thing yet, but they are nice little stories I guess.

Lieutenant gov. Dan Patrick
Bathroom Dan has covid. Is it too much to ask for the same result from the rush Limbaugh thread to happen here? at the very least, I hope he’s in the bathroom standing over the toilet coughing up blood.

The legislature still governs like it and gets away with it tho.

Two Billionaires Dragging Texas Hard Right, Trying to Destroy Public Education (Spent Millions on Huffines)
Yeah….. the legislature proved last year that they don’t give a fuck about people. They didn’t do shit to reinforce the power grid. All they care is guns, bibles, and sticking it to transgenders / gay people.

- Lauren Boobert - Tits and a Gun
Whenever I click on this thread, I was hoping there would be a leaked photo of booberts saggy tits. Then I’m disappointed when there’s not. similar to the people who clicked on the rush Limbaugh thread for 5 years hoping for a death announcement but we’re then disappointed.- Lauren Boobert - Tits and a Gun
Glad to hear her shitty restaurant has closed. They need to spray and clean that building down twice as hard to get all the boobert pussy stank and taint out of it.- So, back to that legalization thing
I think it’s mainly because of one man. Dan “pecker checker” Patrick. We have the worst lieutenant governor in the country by far. He’s a fucking psycho loon obsessed with bathroom policy.- So, back to that legalization thing
Oklahoma and Arkansas are voting on recreational marijuana this fall while Texas doesn’t even have full blown medical access. What a joke.- So, back to that legalization thing
There’s a huge difference on the democrat party spectrum which still exists that basically is between Joe manchin and AOC. Biden is one of the few old school democrats left and I just don’t see him doing anything to bring marijuana into the 21st century. Biden has too much old crusty senate in him.- So, back to that legalization thing
I hope he’s waiting until later 2023 to give him a boost before his re-election campaign, but it is odd. Both of these policies seem like no brainers to me.- So, back to that legalization thing
https://www.marijuanamoment.net/senate-schedules-marijuana-hearing-in-committee-chaired-by-cory-booker-with-legalization-bill-set-to-drop-any-day/ our old, crusty, and out of touch from reality senate is going to talk about marijuana reform. This should be interesting. Queue the John cornyn speaking with reports from 2001 saying that smoking weed makes you violent, kill people, and a total threat to society as we know it.- 2022 Senate Elections
