    You can tell this is fake because the story didn't involve the homeless guy having to fill out paperwork to receive the two pennies.

    Bidenomics perverts are screaming that the economy is better and it's basically this - By the measurements that the Priest-Freaks of the Great Unseen Hand care about the economy is better. Real people, however, are significantly poorer under Biden than they were under Trump. Telling them the economy is better is like throwing coins at a person on the street and expecting them to praise you for it.

      The weird condescension over Palestine was also this but the reverse and much worse. "Can't you see Harris is going to kill fewer people? Who wouldn't vote for killing fewer people? Why did the Muslims abandon us?"

      Spending the week on reddit and seeing all the Islamophobia first hand has been a bad time.

      "But they would also have been poorer under Trump" seems to be the line they go with nerd

      weird how "we're not trump" doesn't really work well with "well both us and trump would have lost you your house"

      If you consult the charts and exclude rent, food and utilities you currently have 0.5% more money on average. You should be celebrating.

        I think you dropped your Nobel Prize for Economics king. That's brilliant analysis. Why can't these stupid poors get it?
