You need to stop shopping at Whole Foods friend.

I can easily get the same for $10 or less.  Or basically the same as it's been for 5 years. 

Winco Foods, 18 carton of store eggs 4:29, one gallon of gas purchase today Costco 4.18, one gallon of milk winco purchase today 3.99= 12:46. Yea nice economy.

Lots of people are taking part time jobs, they need the extra money, cause they can’t cover the cost of living working one full time job, no surprise, I know many people that work a full time job, and then turn around to go work at a part time job, rent, milk, eggs, gas, yea health insurance, of this great economy, thank you government.

I feel bad for them, to an extent.  We cannot know how many of them voted for Biden, but lets assume 50% did....I only feel 50% bad for them......

Elections have consequences.....and many of these people are starting to realize how bad Democrat policies are for the lower socioeconomic strata

My friend you've been missinformed.

The % of people working part time now is very close to pre-pandemic levels.

Factually incorrect.  Something I have covered in great detail, so much so that I fear if I do it again @Strike might just have me executed.

Democrat policies....again and again...have harmed the lower economic strata pointedly and emphatically. Are Republicans absolved? Nope.....they have also done some bad things, but it just so happens that the Democrat policies are extravagantly worse.

First graph shows that part time jobs increase in December and decrease the next few months (duh).  Also shows that 22 and 23 were about the same.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/192342/unadjusted-monthly-number-of-part-time-employees-in-the-us/

Second graph shows the number of folks working part time through '22.  Again '22 is way less than historical other than the disaster that was '20 when Trump paid everyone to stay home.

I guess you can deny history?  Let's look at 2020.  Let's look at 2008.  Let's look at early 2000s.  Let's look at the early 1990's....

Again, I have already proven this time and again.  Such as the 1994 Crime Bill, the Clinton Community Reinvestment Act policies, and more recently the Biden economic policies fomenting inflation. But since I surmise Strike might get agitated, and reposting it here is something I lack the energy for at the moment, I will just link for you instead.  Just start with these for now (sorry strike)

I actually agree with you on the latter.  There was plenty of blame to go around.  The government made mistakes, and the banks and others who should have behaved better did not....then later when they started to fail they cried like little b!tches to be bailed out....did those banks bail out the taxpayers who funded them to stay alive...nope...

I have considerable contempt for the banks above all others, but I do not absolve the other participants either....

Private companies made those risky loans.  No one forced them to.  Private companies then cut those risky loans up and sold them as A paper.  No one forced them to do so.  Banks then bought up said A paper without doing their due diligence because they liked the return.

Tell that to the people that are living in it.  Tell them its not true, they don’t need to work a full time gig and then turn around and work a part time gig just to be able to pay/buy for rent, heat, gas, food health insurance, yea it’s just in their heads.  .

If these folks can't make it with massive wage increases at the lower end, and jobs available to anyone who wants them, that's on them.

I'm guessing they struggle no matter who the president.  Some folks just struggle.  It's a shame but unless you want a communist system, our capitalist system will always have winners and losers.

You think everyone in a capitalist system should be fat, rich, and happy?  If folks aren't smart enough or don't work hard enough or have some other handicap, the value their work adds will be low and they won't make a lot of money.

You seem to be advocating for a communist or socialist system boyo.  Those who are superior in a capitalist system, everything else being equal, will always be better off than those who are at the lower end of the spectrum.

Sorry to burst your socialist bubble boyo.

You called those that have less losers, that’s a very liberal/ socialist thing to say.  Of course everyone won’t have equal, but because they have less than you, they shouldn’t be classified like you have as losers.

They are losers in the aspect of our capitalist system.  That system will always have winners and losers.

Why does this offend you?

And IDGAF what your religion says about the poor or rich so please keep that out of it.  Unless you want the US to become socialist or communist, those who have the least of value to offer the free market will get the least in return.

Sorry to burst your bubble friend.  You seem like an ok dude but life is unfair sometimes.   Hell if you boyos saw the luscious locks of amazing hair I still hold well into my 50's, while most of you are walking around bald or nearly so, you'd say it was unfair.

Economy is so bad you see poor broke black ppl calling for the democrats’ heads  When even BLM says “we aren’t voting for yall anymore” you KNOW you’ve lost. So now they’re trying to just remove their political opponent from the ballot. Further proving the point that DNC is a dictatorship now & is a threat to our democracy.

People at the lower end of the income spectrum have seen their wages rise faster than inflation boyo.  You really need to get your facts straight.

And I just love preachy religious dudes like you who are so convinced that only you and your squad are following the correct religion while the other 80% of the world who follows a different religion will all burn in hell.

While true, if those mortgages had all failed there would have been little to no impact to the economy as a whole.  It was the packaging and re-packaging of these crap mortgages as A paper that hedge funds sold and banks bought that caused the issue.  The packing and slicing and multiplying of these crap loans magnified their impact massively so that when they started to fail, banks found that a good sized portion of their balance sheet wasn't worth what they thought it was and all of a sudden they had capital adequacy ratio problems.  The ball started rolling downhill and that's all she wrote.
