@QuixoticSoul True. And how they lost was getting greedy: planned obsolescence so people would buy new cars more often, reducing the workforce, cutting wages and benefits. All the wrong ways to compete because they thought they had a Detroit monopoly with no checks and balances.
@dancingtongue @QuixoticSoul sorry guys. Yet you're forcing me to mute this whole post from notifications.

A lot of the hate that Biden get is unwarranted; I agree that the withdrawal from Afghanistan was great overall and that inflation isn't really his fault. The inflation was caused first and foremost by supply chain problems, which were in turn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, homeboy voted for the Iraq War back in the day. He drone striked an aid worker & 7 children. He promised to veto Medicare for All, should it pass through Congress. He's continued the US's wildly violent and oppressive war on marijuana, even though he could unilaterally end it by executive order and the vast majority of Americans would suport it. Biden's not a moderate, he's a corporatist, and there's a lot of blood on his hands.
Oh really He is bringing us down and it's not about Trump Prices are soaring Government debt is out of control Goods are hard to find Big brother is watching you bank accounts Boarders are open and out of control We aremed the taliban
What is good about any of this ??????????????????????????????????
Why did Joe take away our pipeline but give Russia one?
Why is it OK for Joe to mandate vaccines on public sector employees, but the government employees(post office and congress) are exempt? Why it is OK for Joe to mandate vaccines for USA citizens and take away their jobs if they do not comply, but let thousands of illegal aliens cross the border with no test for covid or penalty for not having a vaccine?
How does taxing people change the environment? They never say what they will use the money for. (Their pockets) Why is it only the politicians that always bring up climate change, not scientists? Why do all the climate change politicians have houses on the beach? Why do all the climate change politicians fly private jets to all their meetings? Why do all the climate change politicians have multiple mansions? Why do all the climate change politicians drive Suburban's instead of Prius's? Why is the water level on the beach the same as it was when I was a child?

Joe did not give Russia a pipeline. After spending ten years trying to torpedo the project under multiple administrations, the country recognized the futility and threw in the towel. This is geopolitics, and the limits of our soft power - Germans and Russians simply called our bluff.
Most everything else you said is equally stupid.

""A forceful and commanding exit"? We left $80 billion dollars of equipment behind for the Taliban, left many Afghan civilians to the "mercy" of the Taliban and deserted American civilians, including at least two dozen California school children and another 16 of their parents.
@QuixoticSoul personally I think we should've just taken away all their equipment & clothing and tied them to the trees before leaving. You know, to keep our troops safe from them and stuff.
Inflation is limited to food and gas. Take those out and there’s no inflation. It’s a non issue, although since everyone buys food and gas, they notice it more than other items.
By next year, the supply chain issues will resolve and prices will stabilize.
Too many times, it's the overreaction and hyperbole from citizens and corporations that spike or tank the stock market, oil prices, inflation and other things. These are all artificial constructs to begin with oh, so it seems to me that you live and die by them is a waste of time.
Right no more mean tweets! Thank you Biden we’re starting a new world war and can’t put things on store shelves! Thank you Biden we can wear masks and live our new normal!
Probably would have - he’s the one who signed our surrender there, and pulled out all the troops. Biden didn’t even switch up the team overseeing this whole thing. Most likely you would have seen the same series of events, perhaps with a different spin.
I am amazed at those who think things would have been different under Trump. I also love it when the slash their wrists in anger over the Americans left behind. Most stayed behind out of their own free will, like the Mayor of Kabul, for instance.
None are any good. But beware of the lies from all of them. Yes it’s not all his fault. But he not doing any good. But he not as bad as the trump ppl think. I voted for trump. And probably will again unless the democrats can get a much better candidate.
You voted for Joe Biden, and we all got inflation, and chaos. Inflation is a tax on everybody, as is a tax on corportations. Joe promised no tax on anyone under $200,000. But now all of us are taxed because of inflation
@Diaermatty Jesus F'ing Christ. The travel restrictions on the unvaccinated took effect after infection was found, which is entirely possible as travel restrictions had been eased.
