Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I ain't writing an essay to talk about the whole list at once.
Oh yeah, that thing that's the reason American inflation is higher than comparable countries?

Also...
You know only a tiny little slice went to working class Americans right?
Like, everyone got the $1400, even Bill Gates. But a lot went to people, companies, and states that just didn't need it.
That article is really good, and somebody got paid to write it.
So go read that, soak it up.
And then, if it's not too late, I honestly wouldn't mind getting into that infrastructure bill. That's a doozy, and if you're bragging about, there's a lot you don't know.
But let's be honest, this comment and that article are more than most would read.
Bruh.
If you're going to claim nothing happened in the past two years and someone gives you a laundry list of milestones and events, you can't just say "eh I don't feel like writing an essay on it". Either explain why none of them count, or concede the argument. As it is, your argument is incredibly weak since you're barely addressing their point.
Also,
Bruh. What.
If you aren't going to write a proper response, don't bemoan that people aren't reading shit.
Don't feed the troll.
I mean, I said that...
Went over the first on the list...
Then said:
Because that was the next thing on the list...
Did you notice how that person never replied?
It's known as a gish gallop.
None of them pass scrutiny alone, but it would take a lot of effort to disprove all of them at once. Especially when the likely result is the person latches on to a small part of a source you quoted and refuses to read the actual source that goes in depth and was written by a professional
Did you try reading the whole article for more info?
Or did you really think those three paragraphs was the whole thing without clicking the link?
Well, you could have read the article and gotten a great explanation...
Instead you choose to hurl insults, weird how often the people blindly supporting Biden do that.
Have a nice life bud, life's to short for that type of discourse about something so serious.
Your article is two years old and provides a mountain of speculation about economics that didn't pan out in reality. Seriously, check it out, inflation in the US peaked lower than the UK or EU, and has trended below them consistently through today.
Go ahead and argue about the relative stability of more insular economies like Japan and China, but the Fed did exactly what they set out to do, and they did it more effectively than other comparable central banks.
Objectively, verifiably false. Single taxpayers under $75k, couples under $150k. Bill Gates didn't benefit. Maybe you're thinking of the stimulus that Trump signed that blindly handed out thousands of dollars to businesses with little to no accountability?
