    Lowest unemployment since the 60s

    Yeah but the Biden administration is actually fighting against that. That was totally accidental and had nothing to do with Biden.

      Also, and I will shout this out forever, they got this number by omitting everyone who has been unemployed for more than a few months or stopped looking for work. Just full-on brump shit, and these dumbasses eat it up

        Yeah. I bet the largest reduction in the number of people on unemployment happened when they stopped extending it for COVID.

      And unemployment doesn't mean shit when wages aren't even high enough to survive on. Great, he's maximized the number of people who are both working and can't afford rent.

        IIRC it's mostly just lying. The stats don't include anyone who's unemployed but not looking for work.

        I don't know if that one is really on Biden though. The Child labour thing seems to be a Republican-only idea for now, but I'm sure that by 2028, Democrats are going to look at deep-red states electing freaks who support child labour and conclude that Democrats must also support it.

          I'd still blame Biden. If he was actually anti child labor he'd be assassinating the people doing it, but instead the only extrajudicial killings he does is killing "terrorists"

          If the Republicans wanted to make 10 year olds eligible to work in the mines, the Dems would compromise and make 14 year olds the minimum then strut around like it was a victory.
