  1. Fox and others are funded by the richest 0.1% to convince 51% or more to vote like them. Because it is really hard to win elections with only 0.1% of the votes. Never forget this.

  2. This is the big trick to make voters voting against their own interest. You make people think your side is the only one telling the truth, everything else is a lie and everyone who disagrees is an "evil lefty/liberal".

  3. True. Even when they are in charge they say this pretending it is a problem they inherited.

  4. I don't like giving Biden credit but he earned some at least. Some of his policies especially the technology-stop to China, the investment stop and sanctions to Russia, the Chips act, the inflation reduction act and his continued boosting for the fossile fuel industry (more than under Trump) is making technology and manufacturing returning partly to America and investing more. So the numbers look good at first, but the people still not feel it. The wages rising not fast enough. The price-gouging still happens, the housing crising, the income inequality is on record level and the wealth inequality is out of control. Result: People have less in their pockets and less resiliance. Leading to economic insecurity, people needing 2+ jobs (which distorts the employment numbers), less consume, more homelessness, more poverty and more dissatisfaction because people have less money for extras like vacations or luxuries. We really need to redefine how we measure a "well economy".

  5. The problem is how a "well economy" is defined. And I fully agree with you for average Americans it looks not so well. Some people making huge amounts of money on the costs of everybody else and this distorts the numbers. However it is true, that America has better numbers than most countries. So don't complain too loudly it could be worse.

  6. Beware of people with simple solutions (or explanations) to complex problems.

  7. Corruption is worse in the US, much worse. But you can see that only if you watch politics of at least 2 other countries. Yes. Price-gouging happens in other countries too. However other countries have higher corporate taxes and higher taxes for wealthy citizens (much higher actually). Result: If they earn more, more taxes come in which can be used to offset the problem to a degree and fund programs to boost the economy.
