  1. Your concerns about continued inflation, job quality, and national debt are valid and shared by many. However, you conveniently left out record breaking corporate profits driving inflation. From April to September 2023, corporate profits drove 53% of inflation. Comparatively, over the 40 years prior to the pandemic, profits drove just 11% of price growth. While prices for consumers have risen by 3.4% over the past year, input costs for producers have risen by just 1%. Link So let’s take a deeper dive: 1. Inflation has been a global issue, not just confined to the U.S., and several factors contribute to it. The pandemic disrupted supply chains worldwide, leading to shortages and increased prices. While inflation rates have begun to decrease, the impact of these disruptions is still felt. Additionally, geopolitical tensions, such as the war in Ukraine, have further strained supply chains, especially in energy and food sectors. 2. The cost of gas and groceries is a significant burden for many families. Efforts to address these costs include increasing domestic production and refining capacity and transitioning to renewable energy sources to reduce dependency on volatile fossil fuel markets. Can you tell us how Republicans in Congress voted to help mitigate these issues? 3. The pandemic accelerated changes in the job market in all sectors, leading to a higher demand for low-wage service jobs while some high-wage jobs were lost or transformed. However, there has been an emphasis on creating higher-paying jobs through investments in infrastructure, technology, and green energy. These investments aim to provide sustainable, well-paying jobs that can support families and communities. 4. The debate over foreign aid versus domestic spending is longstanding. Foreign aid can promote global stability, which indirectly benefits the U.S. economy and security. The national debt has been increasing for decades under multiple administrations due to various factors, including tax policies, spending decisions, and economic crises. I’m really surprised those Trump tax cuts weren’t enough to sustain our economy and required a bailout at the BEGINNING of the “flu.”
  2. So, Trump has an excuse (global pandemic) but Biden; inheriting Trumps mess - doesn't get a pass. Got it.
  3. It's funny when the cult is concerned about databases... lmao
  4. Veterans make invaluable contributions to the professional sphere. Where I work, we believe it's essential to recognize and celebrate the unique skills and experiences they bring to our workforce. Where do you work?
  5. We have had this discussion. You have repeated your talking points. When I asked you what you did for a living you bailed. I work for a global corporation - I see the benefits of DEI - which goes beyond race gender and sexuality. So threatened
  6. Sounds like you’re making excuses for Trump.
  7. The only people upset about DEI are the sheep who wear red hats.
  8. Whatever helps you sleep at night bro - but you’re a bunch of homophobes.
