Step away from the alt right media friend. Let's start with this easy one. Supply chains when Biden took office, broken or humming right along?

tbh, I'm feeling much better about things now than I was last week. Trump's lackluster support in turnout numbers, Trump's pathetic showing with independents in NH, his going on record as being the one to ban abortion. The economy is a rocket ship and folks are getting used to higher prices than 2020 as their wage increases have eclipsed inflation the last few months. And then there's the pesky criminal trials Trump will be facing. At least one should happen before November and it will be glorious. I just wish the dems would dump Biden and replace him with Michelle. That would result in another epic MAGA beatdown which we all love to see. Here's hoping...

300k people voted in 2024 287k voted in 2016 That's quite the "record turnout" And no need to be insulting friend.

Remind me, do Rs win NH? If Biden gets the most votes in Alabama should I crow about it? LOL

What a terrible thing to say. I can't imagine why you people are referred to as deplorable. You're so well spoken and never ever just sling mud like your orange master.

Oh we wish. Michelle would wipe the floor with Trump. It'd be a worse curb stomping than 2020. Unfortunately ain't gonna happen.

Isn't it funny that all the racist Trump lovers think DEI hires are completely unqualified, but all the lily white dudes who only got into good schools and good jobs because of their last name are super duper qualified. These racist Trump lovers are next level out there.

LMFAO, that's exactly the case. Thanks for making it for us. Biden got more write-in votes in a primary he wasn't even running in than Trump got R votes in Iowa. I'm getting a much better feeling about November seeing just how unmotivated Trump fans are.

Where's the energy and passion you guys have all talked about? The mug shot and indictment anger you all feel. Literally less than 10% of Iowa Rs could get off their as*es to vote for "Father Trump." Truly a pathetic showing of apathy.

Do you want them to come down to where they were when Trump destroyed world wide energy demand and the price for a barrel of oil was < $0. You not deluded enough to think that was good for the economy are you? Hell Trump's destruction of energy demand actually hurt us quite a lot as refineries were taken off line because he cratered the price of oil. Takes a long time to bring them back into service friend. You should be thanking Biden every day for saving us from the disaster that Trump left.

They just about have my friend. You clearly haven't been paying attention to real wage increases through 2023. Step away from the alt right media.

Let's say Biden didn't sign the $1.9T covid relief act. Is it your assertion that inflation would have not risen above 2%? You seem to argue very much with what words people use. I prefer to look at the actions that caused the events. And remember, inflation was 5% in June. Biden had been in office less than 5 months and his $1.9T bill had barely seen any dollars go out the door. But according to you, Biden's at fault for the 5% inflation. Facts my friends. Only facts.

You want deflation? Should people's huge salary increases be taken away too?

I argue actual economic realties. You can't argue that supply chains were destroyed in 2020. You can't argue that Trump spent $2.74T on Covid. Heck I could also throw in the tax cuts for the rich and Trump leaning on the Fed to lower rates in 2019 (during booming times?) that also contributed. All you have are anecdotes regarding what Biden said. That matters not. The facts are that inflation was blooming just as Biden took office. Can you explain how inflation doubled from Jan - Mar - May 2021? Did Biden cause that too? A massive, macro-economic indicator like inflation? If you say yes then, no offense, but your complete lack of economic knowledge makes further attempts at educating you pointless.

Did Trump manage to crack six digit votes this time? His showing in Iowa showed a pathetic lack of energy and motivation, that's for sure. 55k votes for Trump out of 750k registered republicans. Woof. I guess only the most alt right and extreme actually want to vote for this clown.

Let me help you out friend. What causes inflation? Too many $'s chasing too few goods. Or supply < demand. So let's go back to 2020 shall we? As we all remember the empty shelves in 2020 due to supply chains destroyed as a result of Trump's incompetent handling of the pandemic. Now let's add into this lack of supply the $2.7T Trump spent on covid, sending people checks, therefore increasing the amount of money in circulation. So you see friend, before Biden took office in late January 2021 the fertile seeds of inflation had already been planted by the incompetent Trump. This is why inflation doubled from January - March - May. Well before a dime of any bill Biden signed had even made its way into the economy. Now, step away from the alt right media, you've just gotten a proper lesson on history and what caused the inflation that Biden and the Feds beat back so very well. Inflation was in fact transitory. I assume you don't remember the periods of the mid-70's to early 80's? That was years of inflation my friend. Thanks goodness Trump was booted before he did any more damage than he already did. You're welcome for the lesson friend.

Uh, don't certain geeks stalk other geeks for personal info they've posted and try to use it to make fun of them or try to embarrass them because said geeks are insecure, beta homos? The answer is yes btw.

Ok Billybob. Back to the dump with you for more rat shootin'

3 dudes die in the backyard? Someone drugged and killed them, zero chance each was so drunk they died from the cold. Plus the dude left in the house claimed he didn't notice their cars still in front of his house the next day? GTFO

It's just like his sycophants talk about how great the economy was pre-Trump. When the facts are the economy was below average during Trump pre-covid.

What % of individuals in the country do you think makes $165k? If that's your barometer you're gonna be awful lonely.

I'll join.

Ok I give up. If we can't agree that more education typically means higher intelligence, we won't find common ground. Sorry but some dude who turns wrenches or swings a hammer for a living would in the vast majority of cases have done something much more lucrative and less hard on their body had they had the drive and smarts to do so. Now I'm sure I'll get a bunch of disagreement there there too. Like "why would someone want to be a lawyer or doctor or finance quant when they could do back breaking labor for a living?"

No. I'm not making some outlandish claim like I graudated summa laude from some ivy. Jeez. And quite frankly, IDGAF if you believe me or not friend. I'd believe whatever you posted about your education. Who's insecure enough to lie on a message board?

Well friend, I do think your political beliefs are cringy, but having a million or two or more saved up for retirement is extremely rare and something to be very proud of. Median 401(k) balance by age While averages may be more common, the median is often a better metric for getting an accurate view of a data set. Averages are influenced by outliers — either very high or very low numbers. You'll notice that Vanguard's average 401(k) balances are quite a bit higher than the medians. As you can see by the chart, you're crushing it. Age Median 401(k) account balance Under 25 $1,948. 25 to 34 $11,357. 35 to 44 $28,318. 45 to 54 $48,301. 55 to 64 $71,168. 65 and older $70,620.
